The amount of the deposit varies according to the car category.

An excess is an amount of money withheld by the car rental company from the deposit you left when you picked the car up if the car was damaged (Damage Excess) or stolen (Theft Excess) during the rental. For example, if your damage excess was 300 EUR and damage to the bodywork is 1,000 EUR on return, you would only have to pay 300 EUR. The rest 700 EUR would be covered by CDW policy.

Under the company T&Cs, an SCDW policy can cover those parts of the car that aren’t covered by the company’s standard Collision Damage Waiver policy like windows, wheels and tires, reduce the excess or set the excess to zero so you wouldn’t have to leave a deposit at pick-up or pay anything for damages.
