Will I Have to Leave a Deposit When I Pick My Car Up?

Yes. At pick-up, the counter staff will need you to leave a deposit in case the car is damaged or stolen during your rental. The deposit amount will be temporarily blocked on / taken from the main driver’s credit/debit card and held for the duration of the rental. As long as you bring the car back undamaged at the end of the rental, the money will be unblocked/returned within 30-45 days.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your main driver's card does not have enough available funds for the deposit, you may not be allowed to take the car – or the counter staff may insist you buy additional cover from them. This is standard practice with all car hire companies.
