Yes you can however, there are restrictions. You will need to have enough money on the card to allow for a Pre-Authorization. The Pre-Auth will be $100 more than the estimated cost to rent the car. For example, if the car costs $200 to rent, you will need $300 on the prepaid card.
The best prepaid card available is the Bank Freedom prepaid mastercard at http://www.bankfreedom.com – there is no activation fees or monthly fees with direct deposit. You can load it with Green Dot (the best way) and their ATM and purchases are really good. Hope this helps

I am an employee for Hertz Car Rental, and the answer is you can not rent a car with a pre-paid card. When we swipe the card, it will give us a message saying the payment can not be used. The one exception is one of the pre-paid cards from Wal-mart. GE Money bank has not issued BIN numbers identifying them as pre-paid. Reps are specifically instructed not to use these cards.
So sorry. You can’t use one that is pre-paid. You will have to use a major credit card, or a debit card. Just remember, with Hertz, and many other car rental places, the debit cards are subjeect to a credit check.
