Can I hire a car without putting down an excess deposit?

 

The short answer


Excess and deposit are two seperate things

  • A deposit is compulsory
  • Fully refundable if the vehicle is returned in the same condition
  • Excess protection is optional but it lowers your liability 

The long answer

 

A deposit is compulsory – at Enterprise it’s fixed at 250€ for most vehicles and 1,000€ for premium cars. But don’t worry, it is refundable provided the vehicle is returned in the same condition. Excess protection is optional- you can choose to pay it in order to lower the amount of money you could be liable for in the event of accidental damage or theft.
