Most of the time you can only rent without having a CC if you are coming from an international flight and have a return ticket. They will make photocopies of everything and you must leave few hunder dollars as a security deposit in top of your car rental bill.

I believe Alamo and Enterprise accept debit cards

Be aware that rentals at PHX airport have a ridiculous tax and facilities and yada charge - can be up to about 30 percent of your rental amount

Enterprise has a lot of off-airport locations that will actually deliver a car to you ( i.e at a hotel or office location). You can check out www.enterprise.com

I think Hertz local edition does something similar but I am not sure of their debit card policy

Enterprise does not accept debit cards at the time of rental.

The only major agency in Phoenix I'm aware of that allows debit cards is Dollar. I believe they put a $350 hold on your card until you return the vehicle, so be sure you have plenty of funds in your checking account to avoid unexpected NSF fees.

Fox Rent-A-Car allows cash rentals with a $500 deposit.

I've been wondering this also--do Hertz, Avis, National or Budget have desks at any local hotels, thus enabling you to avoid the high airport taxes (this works at SFO, for example, you can rent from Hertz at the airport Hyatt, and avoid the $10 airport charge--even if you return the car to the airport!).
