Frequently asked questions
We answer your questions before you even have them.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, always in the driver’s name: Visa, Mastercard and American Express. For the deposit, only credit cards are accepted, not debit cards. Online payment can be made by card or through secure platforms.

You will need your valid driving licence, held for at least 1 year, your ID card or passport, and a credit card in the name of the main driver. We also recommend having your booking confirmation to hand.
How does the security deposit work?
When collecting the vehicle, a €300 deposit will be blocked on your card as a guarantee. This deposit is mandatory in all cases; there is no option to hire without leaving a deposit.

The hold is automatically released after the vehicle is returned without any issues.
