Most of the time in the US, a debit card works just fine, and a credit card is not needed. Car rentals & hotels do sometimes require a a credit card; apparently if you end up trashing the car or room it is easier to charge extra fees to a credit card than debit. There is also stuff like parking tickets and whatnot for rental cars. If you do not have a credit card, some rental places will be fine with debit, and others will be okay if you pay a larger deposit.
