Deposit and fuel policy

Deposit

At the rental desk, you’ll be asked to either leave a deposit on your credit card (amount shown on car hire voucher) or buy the supplier’s insurance in case the car is damaged or stolen. If you’ve already bought Full Protection Insurance, you’ll only need to leave a deposit which is covered under your policy. Deposits will be temporarily taken or blocked on your credit card and will be returned within ten working days after the rental if the car is returned undamaged.


Fuel policy

The fuel policy explains how you’ll pay for fuel for your hire car, whether you need to leave a deposit or to visit a petrol station before you return the car. You can see each car’s fuel policy clearly labelled on each option. Most cars come with a 'Like for like' fuel policy, which is the best-value option – before you return the car, just replace the fuel you've used and you'll pay no fuel charges at all. It's a good idea to ask for directions to the nearest petrol station to the rental drop-off location.
