Is this normal?
Do they actually take the money or just swipe the card?
How much would it be?

Please help don't want to book and then have a costly bill. Thanks in advance and sorry if posted in wrong place.xx

Hiya. Feel free to ask whatever questions you have.

They put a hold on it but they don't *take anything*. Amounts vary between the companies. It can be anywhere from $200.00 - $350.00 (last time i checked).
Once you return the car they release the hold on the funds.
It's just like when you rent a villa and they can ask for a security depostit.



And to the others..thanks for the kind words Hope it helps.
