What to know before choosing
Hertz publishes 24/7 service at AUH. Follow Car Rental signs to its Level 1 counter above Arrivals; its returns address is the Terminal A short-term car park’s second level. These are different parts of the airport journey.
Hertz requires a credit card in the renter’s name for security; debit can settle payments but cannot replace that hold. The amount varies by vehicle. Its FAQ says release can take up to 29 days, depending on the bank.

Can a debit card cover Hertz’s security hold?
No. Hertz accepts debit for some payments, but its UAE requirements exclude debit cards from security blocking.
