How much is the security deposit and how is it calculated?

Rental Deposits and Credit Card Authorizations

At the time of rental, an authorization (hold) is obtained on your credit card. Please ensure that your card has a sufficient credit limit to cover both the rental charges and the required security deposit.

Authorization Amounts

The total amount held on your card depends on the insurance coverage selected:

  • With CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and TP (Theft Protection): Total rental charges + non-waivable excess amount.
  • With SC (Super Cover Protection): Total rental charges + €150.00 security deposit.

Note: An authorization is a temporary hold of funds, not a charge. The hold will be released after the vehicle is returned, subject to your bank's processing times and the final condition of the vehicle.
