Security Deposit and Pre-authorization

Do I need to pay a security deposit for the rental?

Yes, a security deposit is required in all cases to pick up the vehicle. However, please note that our company does not charge this amount; it is only blocked (pre-authorized) on your bank card for the duration of the rental.

How is the security deposit processed?

The deposit can only be blocked on a physical bank card; for security reasons, cash deposits are not accepted. For the pre-authorization, both the physical card and the cardholder must be personally present at the time of vehicle pick-up – proxy authorizations for card usage are not accepted. Please note that due to technical limitations, processing the deposit using mobile payment solutions (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay, smartwatch) is not possible.

Why is the deposit only handled via bank card, and why is cash not accepted?

Cashless deposit management is our companys official business policy and safety protocol. The card pre-authorization guarantees full transaction transparency, automates the release process at the end of the rental, and ensures maximum security for both parties.

How much is the security deposit?

The blocked deposit amount ranges between 150,000 HUF and 800,000 HUF, depending on the car category. You will see the exact amount applicable to your selected vehicle during the booking process.

Cleaning:

Vehicles are handed over to the Renter in a clean and properly cleaned condition. The Renter is therefore required to return the vehicle in the same clean condition.

If the vehicle is returned in a condition that does not correspond to normal and proper use, the Rental Company is entitled to charge a cleaning fee as follows:

Standard interior and exterior cleaning: HUF 25,000
Applicable whenever the vehicle requires standard interior vacuuming, plastic surface cleaning or exterior washing.
Additional upholstery cleaning and disinfection: HUF 60,000
Charged in addition to the standard cleaning fee if smoking has occurred in the vehicle, the upholstery is contaminated with animal hair, or there are persistent stains – such as spilled food, drinks or mud – requiring professional wet upholstery cleaning equipment.

The condition of the vehicle at both handover and return is recorded by the parties in a bilaterally signed vehicle handover and return report, supported by photographic documentation where necessary.
