You book online and pay the advance by card; at pickup you hand the deposit in cash to the rental company against the rental contract; after the return, the company refunds the deposit by bank transfer. Unlike a credit-card hold, the money physically leaves your budget for the trip plus the refund window, which can reach 30 days. The amounts involved range from $300 to $5,000 depending on class (median $1,100).
Cash deposits solve a specific problem: renting a deposit-carrying car without a credit card and without exposing a debit card to a charge. If the class you want is available with zero deposit - and in Morocco that is 72% of the market - the zero-deposit route avoids both the cash outlay and the refund wait. Compare availability on the no-deposit data page for Morocco before deciding.
The rental company refunds cash deposits by bank transfer after the car is returned undamaged. The timeline is set by the company and can take up to 30 days; the exact procedure is stated in the voucher.
The advance at booking is paid online. The remaining amount at pickup can be paid in cash with most suppliers; the accepted methods for a specific car are listed in its voucher.
A cash deposit ties up $300-$5,000 for the trip plus refund time. A zero-deposit offer (72% of the market) avoids that entirely. Cash makes sense mainly when the specific car you want carries a deposit.
