With many of the car companies you make the reservation online and make the payment when you arrive to pick up the car. However, with a few companies (Pepe car) etc. you can make the payment before....but as you said, you usually need a credit card upon arrival as a guarantee.
I rent on a long-term basis here with Crown Car Hire and they are exceptionally good...however, whenever I make an initial first booking (if I have suspended it for any reason)....I always need to give a credit card as a guarantee....and then can pay cash for the following weeks....
I know this isnt much help but I think it would be worth contacting them directly..... ;o)
