Car Rental Security FeesKristina asks: Are there any companies that have cheaper security fees. I would love to rent a car but can't afford the $400-500 car rental deposit.
My Response: I'm afraid that car rental deposit fees are pretty standard across the board between car rental companies.
The security fee (or car rental deposit) is often determined by the amount of the rental, whether or not you're using a debit card vs a credit card and which country you're renting in. As you've probably seen by doing some checking, the difference in the hold amount doesn't vary by much from company to company. If the cost of your rental is $400 or more, than the hold will be at least that.... but if the cost of your rental is under $200, than there may be some difference in the security fees or deposit that will be held... depending on the car rental company.
You're best bet is to check our information about the policies regarding Car Rental Deposits for various companies, in order to determine which company will be the cheapest for you.
