Method

1. Identify the exact airport, supplier and product

Deposit conditions are set per supplier and per rental product, not per airport. We record the airport, the supplier and the specific product a condition applies to, because the same supplier can operate very different deposit rules across its own product range.

2. Separate every hold

We never merge amounts. Each record lists the damage deposit, the fuel amount or hold, the toll amount or charge, the card requirement and the contractual liability as distinct lines. At Faro this matters most: the €100 Via Verde toll amount is its own line and is not part of the damage deposit or the fuel amount.

3. Apply strict claim rules

• “€0 damage deposit” is only ever presented as available on a qualifying final offer.
• We never claim every car or every date at an airport is deposit-free.
• A €0 damage deposit never means no money can be held at all — fuel, tolls, extras and fines remain chargeable.
• Marketplace reimbursement cover does not automatically remove the supplier's collection deposit; it pays you back after you have already paid.

4. Date the evidence

Every record carries a last-checked date and links to the supplier or reference source we used. The current wave was checked on 12 August 2026. Records are marked Verified conditional: verified against a source on that date, conditional on the offer you actually select.

5. Re-check the final checkout

Terms and availability change. Before you pay, open the final checkout page and your voucher and confirm the damage deposit, fuel policy, toll handling and accepted cards match what you expected. Our record is a starting point, not the contract.

What we do not do

• We do not invent prices or availability.
• We do not operate a booking engine and we do not rent vehicles.
• We do not create user accounts or store personal booking data.
