Hertz CDG location is verified; payment qualification should follow Hertz France station terms and should not be simplified to a blanket debit yes/no.

- Debit card: Conditional
SIXT says the deposit can be pre-authorized on a credit or debit card, but international-renter guidance on the same airport page tells renters to bring a credit card.

Vehicle limits: Because the airport page contains both debit-preauthorization and credit-card guidance, surface this as conditional rather than a blanket debit yes.
