Debit card works just fine with Waymo, just like with Lyft and Uber.

Is that so?

When all I had was debit cards, I couldn't get any of them to work with Lyft or Uber in 2021.

I had plenty of money. I had nothing better to do than to try to make it work while I sat outside of that airport on a steamy July day in south Florida. I could not make it happen.

There were probably other ways to solve the problem, but I eventually got someone else to send me a car so I could get to where I was going.

(These days, I do have some credit cards. But amusingly, Uber won't let me log in at all unless I verify the number of a debit card that I had in 2021 -- a card that they refused to use, and which was associated with a bank that is itself no longer in business. That card is long gone.)
