Is it easy to rent a car out of state like if you fly in or bus in to just get a car to ride around in ?
What things do you need to secure a ride ?

Why not just rent a car and drive the whole way.
I think it use to be hard to rent a car if your under 25, now all you need is a credit card and a license.
1. A valid drivers license
2. A credit card that can hold a deposit amount on it (usually around $300-500)
One thing some rental agencies are now doing... If you don't buy their insurance they may make you show proof that you have your own car insurance.
Just seems common to me, easy to do and easy to get information on. Just knew Juice was fucking with us. I am thinking there is only one thing he needs to worry about. Juice if you leave stains on the seat they will charge you to clean it. hehehe
My boss uses the hell out of Uber.
Juice, as others have said, a [valid] drivers license and a credit card. Most rental agencies won't take debit cards and the ones that do often hold a hefty deposit, so we are talking about a true creidt card.
Whatever you do, do not pre-pay your reservation through one of the consolidators (priceline, expedia, etc.) or even directly with one of the car rental agencies. Car rental agencies use byzantine pricing models and can be shifty, so if you pre-pay and something happens to your timing, such as needing to extend by a day because you got there early, delay pickup because of a flight delay, etc., you can find yourself getting a surprise (sometimes even whopping) rate hike. Best to use one of the consolidators to research rates and then book a cancelable reservation directly with whichever agency is offering a good rate.

"The problem: Renting a car to someone with no credit card is risky for rental car companies. Not having a credit card is a red flag that you may be a credit risk. Allowing you to drive off in a pricey vehicle is not something they’re comfortable with, especially since they may be the ones who lose out."

The utility bills and references sound more like an safeguard against identity theft. It's easy to cancel a credit card, but if someone finds your lost wallet with your driver's license in it, it's not like the state will cancel your license card and send one with a new number.
I tend to forget myself that some people never fly or travel far. I remember having a conversation with some dancers I had known in the club for a couple years and they were all asking about a required work trip I mentioned where I had to fly half way across the nation. They had never flown at all.
Long flights can be quite boring especially over the ocean. Before smart devices, I heard the same songs playing over and over again. One of those songs was major tom which I kind of liked but I must have heard it 25 to 50 times in the 8 hour flight.

^I do most nights I club. Not for OTC, haha, but for the wife so she can get a massage and/or room service while I am out (to make it fair). It has the side effect of making my club nights 2X as expensive, though.
I never had to rent a car in town. I have enough friends that I can borrow a beater car on short notice. I have rented U-Haul pickup trucks. Unlike their moving trucks the F-150s thy rent are typically only a year old and cost about $40/day all-in. (Incl. dolly).
Rick's not kidding about the debit card thing. The first time I flew on business I only had a debit card and a $200 limit credit card. It was a pain in the ass because they froze like $230 on the debit card (in summer 2001) for a 2 day rental.
Juice if you can't get a normal visa or master card, we if you can get an American Express. It is a nice charge card. It had a small annual fee (that part sucks) and not all places take it (that part sucks even more!) but most airlines, hotels, rental car agencies, and restaurants (who catet to travelers) will accept AMEX. The reason I suggest AMEX is they look to and ask about your "net worth" or "assets." You have a 401K, right? So in the event you are declined for a normal credit card sometimes you can still get an AMEX. The downside to AMEX is you have to pay it off every month. Actually they give you two months, since charges don't hit it right away, but they don't let you carry a balance.
All things considered, I prefer Amex. I'd like to get another one once my situation improves
Good luck!
