Can you pay with deit card?

It depends on the company and the individual branch. I know that the rental branch where I work does not accept debit cards as payment security (a credit card is taken at the time of rental and a deposit is secured on it). The reason for this is simply that debit cards and credit cards work very differently from the bank's end. Debit is taken from your account immediately -- a merchant can't put a "hold" on a certain amount of money. This hold is how deposits are typically made at the time you rent the car (basically, the given amount is deducted from your available line of credit but not actually charged to your account).

In other words, a credit card is a more secure guarantee that the merchant will get paid if the renter is dishonest or does not have enough money to pay for the rental. A debit card is much less reliable from the merchant's perspective.

How much does a rental car cost in Florida for three days?

There is no fixed answer to this question. Rental car prices in general are extremely volatile and change from day to day. Although a company may have a regional "standard retail" rate, this is used as a baseline from which to adjust the rates according to other factors. Those factors may include:

- day of the week (Fridays and Saturdays are very busy. Tuesday less so)

- holidays (lots of people traveling)

- number of that car type available at a particular branch/region (if we have 6 pickup trucks on our lot, we'll probably be eager to rent them for less than the nominal rate)

- the particular area or market demographic the branch serves (some parts of the country are much more expensive to live in than others; a branch in San Francisco is likely to charge more for the same car than a branch in Lubbock, TX)

- whether or not the rental is a reservation (as opposed to a walk-in)

Basically this all boils down to demand vs. supply.

I have seen an economy car go out for as little as $9.99/day when there is a weekend promotion going on (there is a limited number of these available). I have seen a BMW X5 SUV go out for more than $150/day.

A walk-in may cost you a lot more than an advance reservation (if they even have a car for you). Rental branches (except the airport locations) run on a very tight margin and they move cars around within a region to accommodate expected daily customers. My branch usually has a few extra for unexpected walk-ins (such as people getting in an accident and needing a car from their body shop).

Generally speaking, if money is no object, they will get a car for you. :) But to ensure that you get a car at a price you can afford, an advance reservation is the best idea.
