The vehicle rental excess is a maximum amount that will have to be paid in the event of vehicle damage. Once the rental agreement is signed, a hold will be placed on the credit card for part of or all the excess amount. If the car is returned undamaged, the retained quantity is unblocked in a period of 14 to 31 days.
To sum up, the excess limits the maximum amount that must be paid in the event of accident or vehicle damage. There may be certain exceptions where the responsibility for damage and loss may be greater. You will find detailed information about these exceptions in our General Conditions.
