What the deposit is for

The security deposit covers possible damage, breaches or unpaid amounts during the long-term rental. It is not rent: the sum is returned to you at the end of the contract, less only justified charges.

Amount: 2 to 3 months' rent

The deposit amounts to 2 to 3 months' rent, depending on the review of your file. The exact amount appears in the quote and the contract, before any vehicle handover. No key handover without a complete file.

Payment and return

The deposit is paid by bank transfer before the vehicle is handed over. It is returned within 14 days of the return inspection, less justified charges (excess mileage, reconditioning), with supporting evidence.
