Why do customers need a credit card to rent a car?2024-07-22T16:19:36+04:00

Credit cards are required for the security deposit. This amount is blocked, not deducted, from the card unless there are charges added to the contract after the vehicle is returned. Examples include Salik (Toll) fees and traffic fines.

When will the blocked amount be released?2024-07-22T16:19:36+04:00

The security deposit is not charged to the card, so there is no actual refund. However, it can take up to 29 days (or less, depending on the card provider or bank) for the block to be released. After this period, the blocked amount will become available for use again.

Will the security deposit return appear on the credit card statement?2024-07-22T16:19:36+04:00

You may receive a notification from your bank when the money is blocked. However, the blocked amount won’t be debited from your account, so it will not appear as a charge on your credit card statement.
