Renting a Car. Not all rental car companies do this, but you may find that your rental car company runs a credit inquiry even when you use your debit card to secure the vehicle. Read the fine print of the terms and agreement paperwork carefully or just ask the rental specialist what the policy is for new customers. Remember that any type of hard inquiry—even if it’s not for more credit—will drop your credit score by a few points. Call 1-800-442-1591 to get a CREDIT EDUCATION CD for $99.00
