Hello, I would like to ask if there is a direct deduction when renting a car on your holy island? My credit card was directly deducted $100, not pre-authorized. Is this a deposit? According to the rules, the deposit should not be so little. I rented a car from Avis ?

It's a deposit. Mine also shows consumption. I booked two cars, and one has been returned.

When I rented a car on the 18th, the car rental company charged more than 700 euros in consumption (which was actually a deposit).
