Rental Guide
Most car rental companies block €800–1,500 on your credit card as a security deposit — funds you can't access for your entire holiday. RENAX operates differently: we require NO deposit. Your credit card is used for registration only, with zero funds blocked. This guide explains how it works and why it matters.
How the standard car rental deposit works: when you pick up a rental car from most companies, they block a large amount on your credit card as a security deposit (typically €800–1,500). This 'hold' reduces your available credit for the entire rental period. The funds are released after you return the car undamaged — but the release can take 5–10 working days. For many travellers, this means a significant portion of their holiday budget is frozen.
How RENAX does it differently: we don't block any deposit. Your credit card is used for registration purposes only — we verify your identity and keep the card details on file (standard practice). No funds are held. No credit limit is reduced. No waiting for deposit release after your holiday. Why can we do this when other companies can't? Because we're a small, local business — we know our customers personally (often via WhatsApp throughout their rental), we inspect vehicles together at both pick-up and return, and our insurance structure doesn't require deposit holds.
What this means for you: more available credit on your holiday. No stress about deposit returns. No surprise 'damage charges' deducted from a blocked deposit — any damage is handled transparently through insurance, not through deposit confiscation. This policy is one of the main reasons RENAX has a 4.9★ rating from 62+ reviews. Our guests consistently mention the 'no deposit' policy as a key differentiator from airport chains.
No. RENAX requires zero deposit. Your credit card is used for registration only — no funds are blocked. This is one of our most appreciated policies and a key difference from airport chains that block €800–1,500.
Deposits protect rental companies against damage, theft, and unpaid fines. Airport chains have automated processes that rely on large deposit holds. As a local family business, RENAX operates on trust and personal relationships — we inspect vehicles together and handle any issues transparently.
Our full kasko insurance covers major damage. Minor damage (under 5,000 TRY / ~€150 deductible) is paid by the driver. Because there's no deposit blocked, any payment is handled directly and transparently — no surprise deductions from a frozen deposit.
