This means that the bank holding your credit card will reserve an amount towards your spending limit, which will be unblocked once the car is returned. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies in the amount paid and refunded due to foreign exchange rates and banking charges.
If you choose to pre-pay in advance, please be aware that there will be no refund of the prepaid amount if the final cost of the car rental is less than the prepaid voucher. For example, if you return the car early and have unused days left.
