Why withhold a deposit?

We withhold a deposit to be sure the vehicle is returned in the same good condision as it was received in. If you return back the vehicle in the same condition the withhold amount will be released to your card again. If additional costs have been incurred such as extra kilometers, missing fuel, fines or similar, this can be deducted from your deposit.

The release usually takes 3-7 bank days, but up to 30 days in rare cases.
