Yes, the OpenSky Visa can be used everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted, including car rental agencies. With that being said, rental companies typically place a hold on your payment account to cover incidentals. So you’ll need to have enough money in your account to cover the hold as well as the initial rental fees. As a result, we recommend contacting the rental company ahead of time to determine how much money to load to your account. You might also want to bring a credit card as backup.

Yes. I rent cars frequently and have done so many times using my OpenSky credit card. I would get denied outright when I tried to use my debit card because my credit was so bad. I usually rent from Budget. Hope that helped!

December 13, 2020 I flew into Milwaukee airport. Even though I have used my Open Sky CC from California to the Bahamas, I was denied a car rental. I had already paid for the car but they wanted a card for the deposit. Nope to Open Sky. My initial rental was with Dollar rental car. I went to every rental window ex., Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget. No go. I had just recently rented a car in Oklahoma in October 2020 with my Open Sky CC so I don't know why Milwaukee airport does not accept this card.

I live in Milwaukee and went to rent a car on Friday 2/19/21 for my Florida trip at the airport. I had already prepaid for my car.The exact same thing happened to me. I have used the card in Seattle/Tacoma other budget and Avis rentals in the greater Milwaukee area for trips and never had a problem. I spoke with a rep at budget and she claims as of 2/18/21. They no longer accept open sky cc. I’ve debated just closing the card but if other locations still accept it I’ll continue to use it when I fly.
