When it comes to rent a car, many rental companies require a deposit as a security measure. This deposit acts as protection against any potential damages, traffic violations, or incidents that may occur during your rental period.

The deposit amount can vary depending on the rental company, the type of vehicle rented, and the duration of the rental. Typically, the deposit is held on your credit card and refunded to you upon returning the vehicle in the same condition as when you rented it.
