Deposit conditions in Spain 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.
| Car class | Zero-deposit offers | Deposit range (where applies) | Excess range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Abarth 695, Citroen C-Elysee, Citroen C3) | 77 of 211 (36%) | $100 - $1,850 | $100 - $1,850 |
| Comfort sedan (Audi A4, Audi A4, BMW Gran) | 25 of 134 (19%) | $100 - $3,600 | $200 - $3,600 |
| SUV and crossover (Alfa Romeo, Audi Q2, Audi Q3) | 24 of 138 (17%) | $100 - $4,125 | $200 - $3,000 |
| Premium and sports (Audi A3, Audi A5, Audi A8) | 9 of 47 (19%) | $100 - $3,600 | $200 - $3,600 |

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 Spain 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Credit card | 513 of 530 | 97% | optional where accepted, never the only method |
| Debit card | 401 of 530 | 76% | charged, not held |
| Cash | 104 of 530 | 20% | refund by bank transfer, up to 30 days |
| Cryptocurrency | 52 of 530 | 10% | coins and refund terms set by the rental company |
