Deposit and pre-authorization are among the most frequently wondered topics in car rental. We clarify these two concepts and our practice in Burdur.
What Is a Pre-Authorization?
A pre-authorization is a security amount blocked on your credit card during the rental period but not charged.
When the car is returned without issues, the blocked amount is released; no money is charged from your account.
Do We Take a Cash Deposit?
In our standard practice, we don't take a cash deposit; the security is provided solely via credit card pre-authorization.
This way, in Burdur you rent a car with a deposit-free-like convenience, without tying up extra cash.
When Is the Pre-Authorization Released?
After the car is returned undamaged, the pre-authorization is removed; the release time of the blocked amount depends on your bank.
For luxury-class vehicles, the security amount may be set higher based on the vehicle's value.
Key Tips
- Have a credit card in the renter's name for the pre-authorization.
- Return the car undamaged to release the blocked amount quickly.
- Find out the security amount for luxury cars in advance.
- Make sure your card limit is sufficient for the pre-authorization.
