xopurple Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Hi, It's my first time to rent a car going to California next month - I'm planning to rent a car during my stay there but my big Q is let say I found a deal for $83/3 days are they going to charge my CC for only $83? Or they have to charge me for a deposit? If so, how much? :) So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key!
thereuare Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please start by reading your messages.Your credit card would be charged for the full amount of your rental, then you would need a credit card at pick-up which they could put a hold on to ensure they have access to funds should you damage the vehicle (or return it late or with an empty gas tank or any other additional charges you might incur)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

xopurple Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Do you know how much they charge on pickup? :) So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key!
thereuare Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 The amount of the hold will differ by company (and possibly location too)... given that PRICELINE and HOTWIRE only work with a handful of rental companies thru their opaque service, you can call each of the companies in the area you're looking to rent and ask the amount which is put on hold.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
