Client

Is it possible to rent a car without having to have the damage excess and the theft excess money blocked?

Agent

A security deposit will be held on your credit card. A basic insurance is included. Extra insurance you can decide yourself if you take it out or not.

Agent

Under "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" you can see all the details regarding to the car and/or supplier you chose.

Client

I do not understand. When I read the Important Information, I see that I need to have on my card a deposit for theft and damage excess that will be blocked from my card until I return the car. My question is: can I rent a car without having to pay the damage excess and theft excess? And just to pay an insurance ?

Agent

No, there is always some form of deposit.

Client

Then can I pay a cheaper deposit? Because what I read so far is almost 2000 euros ( damage plus theft excess)

Agent

Try some different cars or suppliers, the deposits can differ.
