Yes, at the time of your rental we will place a $1500 or $3000 deposit PER VEHICLE by credit card or cash (see the ‘Do I have to purchase insurance’ faq for lower liability option details). These funds do have to be available as well or the card will be declined. While this may seem like a large amount please understand that these are new units and this is a higher risk activity. As long as you drive with care you will have this released back to you immediately upon your return. We ask that you allow at least 5-7 business days for this to process. Most people never see this hit their statement but it just depends on your credit card company. Please allow additional processing time on weekends and holidays or if you are using a Debit Card.
