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.

When renting a car with a secured credit card is there a credit background check?
Car rental people want to be sure they are not "ripped off" over their rental deal with a customer. The idea is to leave a significant amount of cash with them OR the ability to charge to a card that will accept a significant charge. The pre-paid card has to have a high amount of cash available to it, or it will not be accepted. If you do not have a credit card (even American Express that requires balance paid in full at billing will work!) and cannot get someone to help you out in securing the car, you may have to get $500 cash as a deposit... Sorry...
