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. The provider 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.
