Whether a bond is necessary depends on the type of vehicle you’re renting and the insurance package you select. In cases where a bond is required, we need to pre-authorise the bond amount on a credit card. Please note that we cannot accept debit cards or cash for this purpose.Here’s the procedure: When you pick up the vehicle, we verify that your credit card has sufficient funds for the bond. It’s important that the name on the credit card matches the main renter’s name. After the vehicle is returned, or 45 days from the bond’s authorisation on your card (whichever comes first), the bond amount is released. This process typically takes 5 - 10 business days.Please be aware, if there’s any damage to the vehicle during your rental period, or if we find damage during the check-in process, we will deduct the necessary excess payment from the pre-authorised bond amount.
