Rental cars - insurance and deposit

Why do I have to pay a deposit when renting a car? Usually all car rental stations require you to make a deposit on your credit card when you pick up the car. Like this the car rental station can be sure that clients drop off the car without any damages. In case of damage the amount of the deposit will be withhold. Usually car rental stations just accept international Credit cars for paying the deposit.  If there is no damage, the amount  will be refunded immediately after the vehicle has been returned. In case of damage it depends on your booked insurance. Did you book fully comprehensive insurance without excess? The supplier will reimburse you the retained deposit. In case your offer just includes fully comprehensive insurance with self-payment, the deposit will not be reimbursed by the supplier. We therefore recommend that you book full cover. This way you won't need to pay for any damages.
