No. You can give it to them in cash! Who wouldn't take 10,000 dollars in cash?

Answer:

Credit cards are required to rent cars from most agencies because the renter is on the hook for the whole value of the car (through the credit card) if it is totaled or stolen. Even a damaged car might require several thousand dollars of repairs. An exception might be if the agency is renting junkers with a street value of only a couple of hundred dollars.

The rental company will then place a temporary hold on your card for the estimated rental cost, plus any additional fees or deposits.

Where can you rent a car using a credit card and no cash deposit?

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.
