indeed, car rental is quite often requiring that the payment is done w  a credit card by the driver, in Italy, Germany and likely many other countries as well. 

There are also quite some businesses e.g. in Italy that refuse credit card payments because the conditions banks are imposing on business owners are disadvantageous compared to debit card or cash payment (period until they get the money, commissions and fees), and because they can allow themselves to refuse them as credit cards are less ubiquitous than in other countries.
