Deposit by car class in Greece

Deposit conditions in Greece differ more by car class than by city. The table aggregates all checked offers; amounts are ranges because each rental company sets its own terms, and the voucher for a specific car is the binding document.

How the deposit works in Greece

Every offer in the dataset splits payment in two: an advance paid online at booking, and the remaining amount at pickup. Zero-deposit offers block nothing beyond that; deposit offers additionally hold or charge the deposit at pickup and return it after the car comes back undamaged. Traffic fines and toll charges are billed by the rental company separately after the return. Deposit Index is a data reference: the rental agreement is concluded directly with the rental company.
