Credit Card Recommended but is it needed?

💳 2. Bring a PHYSICAL Credit Card If Possible
This became especially important when I tried to rent a car.
Some traditional rental companies require a physical credit card in the renter's name and may not accept a debit card for the required security hold.
I ultimately worked with the resort concierge, who connected me with a local rental company. I was able to secure a vehicle for approximately $120 for four days.
Serenity Tip: If you don't have an available credit card, don't panic. Ask the concierge about reputable local rental companies and alternative transportation options.
