Warranty amounts – Security Deposit for all vehicles
The security deposit amount depends on the chosen insurance package. When picking up the vehicle, the driver must have a credit or debit card, which will be used for the security deposit. The amount of the security deposit will be reserved from this card. This amount will no longer be available for immediate use on your card. This amount will be returned in full at the end of the rental as long as no other charges arise. The release time of the amount depends on the issuing bank of the card and not on our company. We release the security deposit amount immediately at the end of the rental.

Alternatively, cash can be used for the security deposit amount.

Traffic fines or other administrative sanctions
The renter must pay traffic fines or any administrative sanctions that may result from any violation of the Greek Traffic Law. The renter can pay the fines in cash or with a credit card. If any fine becomes required after the rental period, our company will charge the renter’s credit card the amount of the fine.
If the police or other authority removes the registration plates during the rental, the renter must compensate our company immediately. The compensation amount will be calculated by multiplying the total number of days that the vehicle will be without registration plates by the per-day rental price from the current season.
