I don't get it — why can't the car rental company mention beforehand that they're required to hold a ~$2,000 deposit on some sort of card, and that the renter should have this amount to cover it?
There are credit cards out there (e.g. student ones) with abysmally-low limits. And I can easily keep a hold of ~$2,000 on my Visa/Mastercard debit card, as long as I have that amount in my bank account.
