Well, we are afraid there is no way around it, as accidents can unfortunately always happen. A security When you pick up your roadsurfer at the station, we ask you to pay the rental deposit of $850/CAN $1200 by credit card or debit card. We accept Visa or Mastercard (no American Express). The amount will only be blocked for 30 days and automatically released again if everything is in order.
Keep in mind that some banks don´t reflect the release as a return in "+$850", but delete the "-$850" from your online banking automatically.
Simply track the status of your deposit in your customer account.
Please note the following:
- Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay the deposit in cash, by bank transfer in advance or by Paypal or American Express.
- Please check whether you know your PIN and whether the limit on your card is sufficient, as the deposit must be paid in one payment.
- Your co-driver can also pay the deposit - it does not have to be your name on the card.
- Please be aware that, depending on your bank, the available limit may be reduced by the reserved deposit amount - this might impact your travel budget!
