Car rental without a deposit in Marrakech: how does it work?

When renting a car, many travellers find out they must block a deposit of several hundred or even thousands of euros on their credit card. At Branded Rental Cars we made a different choice: no-deposit rental. Here is how it works.

What is a deposit?

A deposit (or security deposit) is an amount the rental company blocks on your credit card for the whole rental. It covers possible damage, fines or late returns. The amount is released after the car is returned, which can take several days.

The downsides for travellers:

• you need a credit card with a high enough limit (often not a debit card);
• the blocked money reduces your holiday budget;
• in case of a small dispute at return, the deposit may be withheld.

How does no-deposit rental work with us?

It's simple: nothing is blocked on your card.

1. Book online in a few minutes.
2. We deliver the car to the airport, your hotel or your riad.
3. You check the car with our agent and sign the contract.
4. You pay for the rental on delivery, in cash or by card.

That's it: no hold, no waiting for a refund at the end.

What about insurance?

No deposit doesn't mean no cover. Standard protection is included in all our prices. You can choose to lower the excess further (the amount you would pay in case of damage):

• Standard: included, €700 excess;
• Reduced excess: + €5 per day, €300 excess;
• Zero risk: + €10 per day, €0 excess.

To drive with complete peace of mind, we recommend the Zero risk option.

Our tips for a stress-free rental

• Check the car with the agent at hand-over and take a few photos.
• Return the car with the same fuel level as at the start.
• Keep the contract in the glove box: you may be asked for it at a police check.
