3. Deposit - Transaction authorisation

During the rental

At time of "Check-out":

At time of "Check-out" - after confirmation or amendment of the booking details with the customer - Season Cars estimates the amount required for authorisation and requests an electronic authorisation from the card holder's issuing bank (the "Security Deposit").

The authorisation procedure allows Season Cars to assess the final transaction amount and receive the protection of an authorisation before the start of the rental period. It confirms that the card holder's bank account is valid and within the available spending limit.

Warning: Amount of deposit depends on the local policy of the "Check out" station(s) and may vary from one branch to another. From a general perspective it may be underlined that:

- The amount of deposit usually covers:

- The vehicle rental agreement period;

- The vehicle rental rate per day including tax;

- Possible mileage charges;

- Additional equipment(s) and services customer has selected.

- The amount of deposit stays valid for the length of the rental agreement period. For rental agreements longer than thirty (30) days, a new estimated authorisation for each periodic amount is requested by Season Cars from the card holder's bank account

The amount of deposit subject to authorisation is expressly mentioned on the rental agreement.

At time of "Check-in":

If the final charged amount for the car rental services rendered is below the authorisation amount at time of "check-out" then an additional authorisation shall be requested to cover the amount due.
