In the United States, most rental car places do not require a cash deposit - unless your history with them is dismal. Rental car companies prefer having a credit card number on file - this allows them to add additional charges to your bill if you don't adhere to the contract you signed. For instance, if the car comes back dinged or dented, the rental car company can charge the repair cost to your credit card number. If you refuse to pay, that's between you and the credit card company - the rental car company will be paid by the credit card company unless you protest the charge as fradulent.

Yes - in most cases you need a major credit card. Many credit card issuers carry built-in insurance for rental cars. There is also the option to buy the optional coverages from the Rental Car company. This will add extra cost to the rental and may not always be necessary.
This is so any damages or problems with the car can be charged to you. Oftentimes a rental car company will allow you to simply drop off the car in the lot and won't inspect the car for damages until long after you are gone. With a credit card number, if the seats are torn up, there is tobacco smoke odor or the car is dinged or damaged, the rental car company can charge those repair and cleaning fees to you. If you refuse to pay, the rental car company will still get paid by the credit card company.
You are fully responsible for any loss or damage to a rental car. If you do not have insurance to cover this or have not purchased insurance from the car rental company, they will go after you for the full cost of the rental vehicle.
Yes, Car Rental Companies accept Secured Credit Cards. There are two types of cards. "Secured" and "Prepaid". Prepaid cards will be accepted at rental companies (or will be treated like a debit card). SECURE cards on the other hand are not like a credit card. The rental company has no way of knowing rather the card is secured or not.All secured cards say "debit", and have a Visa, Mastercard logo, etc. However, as with any credit card (secured or su-secured), they will take a deposit out on the card that covers the rental fee for your expected term. This will not be "charged", but "held" to your card until you return it, at such a time you can choose to authorize the payment to go through or pay the balance with a debit card, allowing the hold on the credit card to release.
Notify them that the credit card was stolen to the credit card company and dispute all the charges on the credit card. You would also have to file a police report if the credit card was stolen. The credit card company must investigate the charges.
Hertz currently accept the following credit cards: Mastercard, American Express, Visa, Hertz Card, JCB, Amex, Optima, Discover, Diners Club and Carte Blanche.
No, a company can not charge a credit card without permission. This violation should be reported immediately to your credit card company.
That decision is up to the credit card company. If the corporation is relatively new or had no credit history, the credito card company might demand that you personally guarantee the debt and you will need to have a credit check. If you have been in business a long time, the credit card company MIGHT not require a personal credit check.
You should call the credit card company.
