Renting a car at the airport?

I'll be flying to Qatar soon and i have decided to rent a car from the airport in advance. Since i do not own a credit card me and my brother has agreed i could use his CC. But at those website it says that the car agent will ask to show the credit card? Is it acceptable if i take a copy of my brother's CC with his signature on it?
Thank you

I agree with most of the answer here. My additional 2 cents, is that they have a harsh traffic penalty system here. As you are new here, there's a possibility of violating a traffic regulation here.

The first few times that I drove here, I had incurred penalties for driving too fast.

Save yourself the headache and just rent a limo / taxi.

taking rent a car will give you a lot of headache, why not taking a taxi which is readily available at all times at the airport.

You can call the company and double check, but every time I have rented with an internationally rental company (such as Avis or Hertz) they require a credit card and driving license at the time of the rental.
