Payment & deposit guides

What no credit-card hold means

A traditional card hold temporarily reserves a security amount on the available card balance. Under the advertised request terms, no such deposit or preauthorisation is blocked. Our team still confirms the rental charge, accepted payment method and documents needed at handover.

Practical guide

No card hold does not remove all responsibility

Traffic fines, missing fuel, prohibited road use, tires, wheels, underneath, interior damage and traffic-code violations can remain outside the selected insurance. Read the written agreement even when no deposit is blocked.

For a written quote, select the exact location, dates, vehicle category and transmission in the form. Add flight, ferry, hotel, villa and child-seat information where relevant.

No credit-card hold vs no deposit vs FDW zero excess

No credit-card hold

No security amount is reserved against your available credit-card balance for the insurance excess.

No deposit blocked

The website uses this wording for the same practical card-hold benefit: the insurance excess is not frozen as a card deposit.

FDW zero excess

FDW is optional at €12 per rental day and reduces liability to zero excess for covered damage. Tires, wheels, underside, interior, off-road use and traffic-code violations remain exclusions.

Choose the airport car by passengers and luggage, not only the lowest rate

Small and economy cars suit couples and lighter luggage, while compact, family, SUV, 7-seater and 9-seater categories provide more space. If you need an automatic, request it explicitly because automatic availability can be tighter in peak periods.
