How much is the car rental deposit in Cavtat?
The deposit is not a charge but rather a pre-authorisation hold on your credit card, which is released once you return the car undamaged. The security deposit is generally between €1,000 and €3,500, depending on the type of car and the level of insurance purchased. This amount can be reduced or eliminated by purchasing an additional full-coverage policy (Super CDW / zero excess).
Some card issuers take 15 to 30 days or more to release the hold after the end of the rental period. Make sure you have enough available credit on your card before you travel.
