I have not had the credit trouble that you describe. I had a credit card with my parents before 18 to establish credit. I despise the student credit cards that the banks use to lure naïve kids into debt.
Your bank should be able to give you a debit and credit card since you do bank with them. If they will not, ask if you can give them a prepaid balance to establish a limit. For example, give them a $1000 for a $1000 credit limit.
Can your parents add you to an account just for the convenience of this trip?
I had one horrible experience in Miami Beach where no one would let me check in under age 21. So ridiculous considering I had driven there my self and as others have said could die for the country. Eventfully I found a nice place and had no trouble. I suggest calling ahead to check the minimum check-in age. You may have fewer choices, but someone will take your money.
The car rental is a real problem. If you work for a company with national rental accounts, then you can rent from 21 with your company ID. Otherwise it’s 25, or find someone who will charge a ridiculous premium due to your age. Under 21, it’s nearly impossible.
It is a shame that the country has been set up to make young peoples lives so difficult, especially those like yourself who are mature and just trying to enjoy their adult life.
Good luck.
