On arrival I understand I have to leave a security deposit to cover the insurance excess and petrol. How much do I leave with the local car supplier?
All deposits for both insurance excess and fuel, amounts can vary by location and car rental partner. A valid credit card in the name of the lead driver is needed at the time of collection of the car to act as a deposit and cash deposits are rarely accepted. Most cars have a full tank of fuel on collection and often a deposit for this is payable. This will usually be refunded if the car is also returned with a full tank.
