Rental Deposits and Credit Card Authorizations
At the time of rental, a temporary authorization (hold) is placed on your credit card. The exact deposit amount depends on whether you purchase Super Cover (SC):
With Super Cover: The deposit is fixed at €150.00 + total rental charges.
Without Super Cover: The deposit is equal to the non-waivable excess (franchise) for your vehicle group + total rental charges.
