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.
Where a deposit applies, suppliers in Montenegro accept the following methods. Acceptance is counted across all checked offers; the methods for a specific car are listed in its voucher.
| Deposit payment method | Offers accepting | Share | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
