Rental deposit: card hold vs cash in Morocco
Card pre-authorisations, cash deposits and release timing: what to know before you rent.
1 min read
The deposit protects the agency; how it is taken affects your cash flow during the trip.
Bank card
A pre-authorisation hold is the norm. The limit must cover excess and extras. Check that your bank allows foreign holds.
Release is not instant: expect several business days after return.
Cash
Less common and sometimes capped. Ask for a receipt and return conditions. On Udrive, look for “zero deposit” offers when available.
