Majorca: car rental without deposit and credit card

You do not need to convince anyone that renting a car without having to block the deposit on your credit card is a very convenient thing.

What is the deposit?

For those who do not know what is going on, for example, they have not yet rented a car in four words I explain.
The standard behavior of a car rental company is that they require a credit card when renting. In order to protect themselves against the possible effects of damage associated with a rented car, they assume the so-called deposit, that is, they block a certain amount of money on this card, which remains at their disposal until the return of the car. This does not mean, of course, that they can handle the amount of the deposit during this time because they cannot, but during this time the funds equal to the amount of the deposit are blocked and we also cannot use them.
So if you have 5000 PLN on the card for holidays and you go to the car rental, most often you will find one where a deposit of e.g. 1000 EUR will be required when renting. When renting, the rental employee will ask for an identity document, driving license and credit card. He punches the data into the computer, prints the contract, gives the keys and you can go. On your card, however, a deposit will appear blocking funds in the amount of EUR 1000 (i.e. approximately PLN 4400) and these funds will not be able to be moved until the car is returned (and sometimes even a little longer). 600 PLN will be at your disposal… for a holiday it's not much. When paying for a hotel or dinner at a restaurant, you may be surprised when the message persists: no funds on the card!
And the translation that you have that money on the grate will not help 🙂
There are places where renting a car without a deposit is not possible, or even if it is possible, the rental price per night is very high. Majorca, fortunately, is not such a place. In Majorca, you can do it at an attractive price rent a car WITHOUT DEPOSIT on a credit card. As if that wasn't enough, you can do it completely online and pick up the keys at the machine, without queues.

Where to rent a car in Mallorca?

I will not recommend several rentals. I will recommend one that I checked myself. The decision was, of course, preceded by searching the web, reading forums, reports, opinions, etc. Finally, the choice fell on local rentals WIBER and it turned out to be accurate. The scope of insurance, no need to have a credit card, and great rental prices made me choose. When picking up the car, you pay with a regular debit card. Currently, the rental company blocks funds on the card "for a tank of fuel" if, upon return, it turns out that you are returning the car with an empty tank (in my case it was EUR 63). After returning the car with a full tank, they released the blocked EUR 63 on the same day.
Today I can recommend this rental with a clear conscience. Positive feedback has been confirmed.
There was a slight problem during the pickup of the car (for a moment it even crossed my mind that I wonder if positive feedback from the Internet about this rental would be confirmed in this situation).
The problem was that I use my navigation while driving GARMIN, which is powered from the cigarette lighter socket. Always when picking up the car, so I check if there is voltage in the cigarette lighter socket. It turned out that the car lighter socket prepared for me is damaged and I do not have power for navigation. I went to reception to report a problem. And what? The lady (a Polish woman working in a rental company) settled the matter in 60 seconds. Changing the keys, changing the car and after the case. Even her brow didn't pop. Revelation.

What else is worth knowing?

In the case of Wibera it is not possible to collect the keys at the airport. They just don't have their position there. Probably due to the high cost of maintaining such a position in the airport terminal. The key and car pickup point is about 5km from the airport. However, this is not a special difficulty, because there is a free bus with a logo every 15 minutes between the airport and the rental company Wiber, which takes newcomers renting a car from the airport to the rental company and takes people passing the car from the rental company to the airport. Fast and convenient.

Rental prices

Wiber proposes 2 car rental options. With basic insurance (BASIC - in short, it is bodywork insurance without a chassis, windows, mirrors and tires) and with full insurance (ALL INCLUSIVE - with full insurance, assistance and a zero contribution in the event of an accident).

ATTENTION !!!
Remember that none of the insurance works if you break a car under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

I rented a car whose size is defined by the definition: medium (as in the picture below):

I received a Ford Fiesta with mileage of 18 thousand thousand (which is almost new).
Rental prices are not constant throughout the year. The cheapest is winter. That's when I rented a car (February).
In winter, the BASIC option cost 7 EUR / day, and for the price of ALL INCLUSIVE was 17 EUR / day.
At the time in other rentals for 17 EUR you could get a similar car but with basic insurance, and for this you would need a credit card on which a deposit from 500 to 1000 Euro would be created.
Of course I chose without hesitation WIBER-a in version ALL INCLUSIVE, which cost me about EUR 17 a day and guaranteed complete peace of mind.
At the time of writing, I checked the prices for March (between 18 and 23 March 2019). BASIC costs around EUR 9,5 / day, while ALL INCUSIVE costs around EUR 27 / day. In the summer it will be even more expensive.
W Rentalcars the ALL INCLUSIVE option is highlighted by an additional description as I marked in the picture below.

In Rentalcars, the All Inclisive version is included as a frame description.

I have a car rental. What to do after arriving at the airport?

After arriving and picking up your luggage, you are directed to the main exit from the airport. Going out through the main exit, you have a flyover connecting the airport building with the car park, and the multi-storey car park in front of you. You go 100m straight ahead towards the car park building and after 100m you come to a sidewalk with a row of bus stops. Turn right and walk along 50m along the bus stops. Bus Wibera it stops at these stops and either stands there or it will arrive in a few minutes.
The access path is shown in the photo below, and at the beginning of the article I posted the appearance of the bus.

Path leading from the main exit from the airport to the station where the BUS Wiber stops.

Other rentals

Wiber Fortunately, it is not the only rental company in Majorca. Thanks to the large tourist traffic in Majorca, we have access to a wide range of car rental companies all year round. Most visitors willingly use rental services to see nearby attractions. There is a lot of competition from rental companies. This is mainly visible in the off-season, when rental prices drop. A radical drop in prices is visible already at the beginning of September. Off-peak prices are lower than on-peak by even more than 50% (40% is practically the standard).
The price peak is in July and August.

Where to find a car?

I have been renting cars for over a dozen years and I have been observing this market for the same amount of time. My gut feeling was right: people on vacation want to feel safe and prefer to rent a car with full insurance. This is an extremely important observation because it has a key impact on how we search for and choose the best tools. In my opinion, the best thing about this is the two comparators DiscoverCars i Rentalcars, the first of which is my absolute favorite. Why? I've explained this in the short characterization below.
So, do your main search in Discover Cars. You can search in the second search engine to verify that the offer from Discover Cars is actually the best.

Discover Cars - [click]

Comparison Discover Cars pays great attention to having as many local companies as possible. It's just great in that regard! Besides, it has a huge database of global companies within it. It is a great tool thanks to which you can immediately compare local prices with the prices of the largest market players. Here, sometimes (if you're lucky) you'll come across temporary price promotions that will save you a lot of money. Discover Cars it is a database that must be searched.

Rentalcars - [click]

Rentalcars is the world's largest database of car rental offers. Number 1 in the world for years. However, it focuses mainly on the largest and most extensive car rental networks, so there is often a lack of offers from small, local companies. However, it is always worth checking if some giant has not decided to make a promotion.

Other search engines and comparison engines

On the Internet you will find many other search engines and car price comparison engines. I have been observing them for years (because I have been renting cars in various places for many years). Searching most of them does not add any new quality to the search results, and often produces the same result as the pages suggested above. Why? Because they are only copies of the biggest and best search engines. The largest market players make their databases available to other parties electronically (using the so-called API key) and new pages are created that actually search the same database. It is obvious that you will not get any better and more interesting offers from them. You will get exactly the same result.
Therefore, searching for copies of the same databases does not make sense.

How to find good deals?

At the beginning I assumed that the guide would be very condensed. I will try to reduce the search process to a few simple steps, thanks to which you will be able to quickly filter offers, selecting only the most interesting ones.

Instructions for renting a car without a deposit or credit card

Step 1 – entering data into the comparison engine

go to the website Discover Cars - [click], fill out the form specifying the place of pickup of the car (1) collection date (2) and the date of return of the car (3) and start searching (4)

1. Car pickup location
2. Date of collection
3. Return date
4. Start your search
Step 2 – first search result

After a while, you will receive the first search result, but this result is not satisfactory for now. It will look something like the pictures below. For now, I'll use this view to describe to you the layout of key elements on the search results screen.
The most important thing is to set the appropriate language (2) (the website supports several languages, including Polish), currency (1) and the location of the filter area (3). Filters are our key to success!
For your convenience, here are screenshots from your computer and phone.

On your computer screen:
1. Select currency
2. Language selection
3. Search options and filters panel
4. Quick information on the offer: without own participation
5. Quick information on the offer: without credit card
6. Detailed rental conditions (by clicking)
1. Select currency
2. Language selection
3. Search options and filters panel
4. Quick information on the offer: no own contribution
5. Quick information on the offer: no credit card required
6. Detailed rental conditions (by clicking)
Step 3 – (the most important) install the filter

Now it's time for the most important step: installing the filter! In the area where all the filters are located, search for the "Refundable deposit" section and check the "No deposit required" option.

In the "Refundable deposit" section, select the "No deposit required" option.

If this option is unavailable, it means that there are no more cars available in the no-deposit version and you need to choose the smallest deposit available in the filter or look elsewhere (I will tell you where later in the text).

Step 4 – filtered result

After selecting the appropriate filter, the search result will be updated. The offers will be arranged from the cheapest to the top of the results list.
At the top of my list was an offer that fully suited me. 5-day rental with full insurance and no credit card for EUR 146. I'll take it!

I got this result. There is information directly on the offer:
1. without own participation
2. no deposit required
You won't need a credit card!

Material liability, insurance, own contribution, deposits and deposits

When the rental company hands over the car to you, you are also responsible for its condition for the duration of the rental. It's clear!
What is the scope of this responsibility? It's not so clear anymore!

Financial responsibility is mandatory, but can it be significantly reduced? Or maybe you can throw it away completely?
It's possible, but you have to see how!
You can find more about getting rid of financial responsibility for a rented car in the entry: Car rental insurance and reduction of financial liability - [click]

Additional charges and their reasons

Additional fees incurred when renting a car (especially those charged after the car is returned) are often a source of frustration for many rental customers. They can be prevented, but first you need to know where such fees come from and what may be their cause. I gathered situations I knew together in one text and described them. It's really worth reading this post!

    Hello,
    I have a question about the lack of a deposit on KK when renting in Wiber.
    On the rentalcars website, in the rental conditions, there is information about the blocked deposit on KK. On the Wiber website (as well as on your screenshots) there is information about the Excess fee of 700E. Is there still no deposit for card payments?
    Pozdrawiam

      Hey!
      Excess Fee is so-called deductible in the event of any bumps and damage. This is your maximum share, even if the damage is greater. This fee applies when choosing the version without All Inclusive insurance and will be blocked. That's why I recommend the All Inclusive version in which Excess Fee = 0 and there are no card locks. Of course, the one-day rental fee is higher then, but we are protected against all risks and no deposit mentioned. Compared to other rentals, it looks like Wiber + All Inclisive + no blockage costs as much as another rental company but with a blockage of several hundred EUR.

    I warmly welcome! Is it necessary to show a credit card at the rental company? Is a debit card enough? I see that in the vast majority of rental companies this is a requirement. Regards, Daria :)

      In WIBER, in the All Inclusive option, any card can be used, because they charge only payment and there is no deposit. In my case, due to the fact that I had previously paid online, they did not ask for any card at all.

    Good morning!
    Mr. Jacek, thank you for the entry! Soon I am going to Majorca for a few days and it is known that without a car it is not even worth approaching the topic.

    What was my surprise when, when trying to book a vehicle, they wanted to deposit almost 4500 PLN from me (sic!).

    I would just like to ask you somewhere when making the reservation mentioned that they do not charge a deposit in WIBERA at All Inclusive?
    Everywhere in the tabs (important information, full terms etc.) is written about the deposit and having a credit card with you.

    I would not like to be unpleasantly surprised miejscu

            Yes, I confirm! A few days ago I took a car from them in Valencia. The deposit is made on a regular debit card and its amount depends on the tank capacity. In my case it was (small car) EUR 63, which they released 24 hours after returning the car.

    I also recommend Wiber for the all inclusive option. I didn't even go to the office, I picked it up from the key machine. Unfortunately, we broke into the car on the way to the formentor, but there was nothing of value, so no losses. and thanks to the all inclusive insurance, we didn't care at all. As you said on delivery: "don t worry, you have full insurance".
    also, despite the unpleasant adventure with burglary, I highly recommend rentals :)

    I'm going to Majorca soon and your entry has been very helpful in choosing a car rental company. I only have a question about the deposit - on the rental website it is actually over PLN 100 cheaper on the rental for 6 days, but I do not know if I read correctly that a deposit is required even with the full insurance option? 700 euro? In that case, wouldn't renting directly on the wiber website be better if I don't want a blockade on the card? Thank you in advance for your help.

      I rented through Rentalcars and there was no problem (of course the package with full insurance as described in the entry).
      1. So choose on Rentalcars version with additional description:
      Special offer
      The price includes - CDW; zero contribution damage insurance to cover windows and tires

      2. In this offer, under the photo of the car, and next to the Wiber logo, click: "Wiber rental conditions"

      3. In the window that will open, click on the item: "Deposits, Own contribution and Security"

      4. The description will expand and you will see the information that for this option:
      “The car includes an own contribution in the event of theft of € 0,00 including VAT.
      The rental company does not charge a damage deposit when picking up the car. "

      So there is no deposit and no own contribution. Everything is as it should be.
      If Rentalcars offers you own insurance in the second step of renting, it means the wrong option is selected. Rentalcars does not offer insurance with All Inclusive, because it is included in the price of the offer.

      That's all.
      Good luck and have a nice rest!

    Hello, after reading your entry I rented a car from Wiber but through rentacar with full insurance and after reaching the rental company I was asked to pay additional 90e insurance or a deposit on the 700e credit card those that I bought via rentacar did not accept. SPani Sylwia polka, who works in a vibrator, explained to me that you should book through Wiber. Instead of blocking the card, I paid insurance again. Rentacar take their insurance and in the event of a collision you have to deal with them. I recommend Wiber as a rental, I got a Ford Fiesta with 1700km, which is new, but I recommend booking through Wiber with all and it will be ok then without a card. The lady who wrote that the car got in the parking lot is not possible office several desks you need to download the number to get the papers and only gets the car. Regards

      Good morning,
      You had to choose the Normal offer and not the Special Offer as I marked with red frames in the description.
      When choosing a regular offer, Rentalcars offers its own insurance. If the All Inclusive offer were chosen, Rentalcars would not offer additional insurance. Then this option does not appear at all in the booking process. Please check.
      I especially pay attention to this detail in the description, so that there are no mistakes.
      In my free time I will describe it even more clearly so that there are no mistakes.
      I hope that the vacation went well and the island enjoyed!
      Best wishes!

      You can pick up the keys from the machine in the parking lot, but first you have to go through the procedure on the WIBERA website and receive the code, then sign the contract at the machine and everything is shown in the video plus a description. There is also an option to pick up at the airport via the app, but the costs are higher

    Good morning Mr. Jack

    We are planning a departure to Majorca tomorrow and we want to rent a car in the middle of the next week - we stop in Cala d'or (we are going with a travel agency).
    I have a few questions about renting:
    1. Do you always have to book your car online or can you go to the rental office and rent without prior booking?
    2. Do we only have the option of picking up a car from Palma de Majorca or are there other outlets where you can rent a car from wiber? (from the airport we have a transfer to the hotel)
    3. After renting, is it possible to leave the car anywhere, eg in Cala d'or?

    I will be very grateful for your help.
    Regards Tina

      My knowledge of this subject is this:
      1. You can rent on site at the office. I do not know, however, how it will come out affordable and there is a risk that there will be no free car. So you should contact them by phone in advance to check the possibility of renting.
      2. There are no other pickup points.
      3. Wiber does not accept returning or leaving the car at another point. If this happens, an additional EUR 100 fee is charged + any additional costs.
      If you care about renting a car only on site, you can ask for it at the reception in the hotel. They will definitely be able to suggest something because each hotel cooperates with selected rental companies. It remains only a matter of price attractiveness (may not be attractive).
      You can also go to rentalcars and enter the place to rent Cala D'or. Maybe there will be something.

    Hello,
    Your post was very useful to me. I booked exactly as you said, I chose a special offer and it went ok. I understand that they won't want any money and cards from me at the rental shop?
    And one more question - I have a return departure at 9.10. Being at 7.00 am at the opening time, will I wait a long time for the car to pass, and will I have a bus to the airport soon to be able to check-in?

      Good day. According to the information you gave me in private correspondence, my husband was given as the driver and the payment went from your payment card and hence the doubt. I can't confirm on 100% quickly, but based on my own experience I bet on 99,5% that nothing more will be needed, the more that in this rental option you can choose the option of issuing keys by the machine, without human intervention.
      During my booking they checked only the data from the ID, driver's license and that's it. Nobody was interested in where the payment came from and they didn't want to see any card.
      A nice lady who is Polish works in WIBERZE. I suggest you make a control phone call and ask this lady to call. In three minutes he will check and dispel doubts. There will be no unnecessary stress.
      I will be grateful for information on how it happened. It will be useful to other readers.

      As for passing the car, it's for handing over the keys (3 minutes) and for getting to the airport by bus (max. 15 minutes). Adding a supply of 15-20 minutes for unforeseen complications, I can't imagine that the entire procedure of passing the keys + getting to the airport by bus takes longer than 30-35 minutes. I think you can make it without any problems.

        Hello Mr. Jack. Just got back from Majorca. Everything went super smoothly. Booking exactly according to your recommendations proved to be trouble-free. Payment was my card, the driver was my husband and there was no problem. I was no longer asked for a card. There were no collateral or deposits. All the formalities on site took only a moment. We didn't want to push any add-ons. We've almost got a new Ford Fiesta. In fact, the Polish lady on the spot is very nice, she explained everything to us. There was no problem with the return either. Nobody looked at the car, we just gave the keys and that's it. The bus pulled up right away and it actually took off at 9.10 had a lot of time. Thank you very much for the practical information. I highly recommend Wiber with the All inclusive option described above by Mr. Grzegorz. 🙂

        Thank you very much.
        At rentalcars.pl, when I checked the offer, which you described above with CDW, it says in the conditions that the windows and tires are not included in the insurance and there is no own contribution (I think this is a technical mistake of the service), and when I take a car without CDW, then after choosing I have 3 options available for my car (standard, intermediate and PREMIUM - which is more expensive for the same car as in the selection option described above, and this option has windshield and tire insurance, generally all "we pay" ... With own contribution of 700 euros).
        I rent a car FIRST TIME, hence my anxiety about everything, in addition with English so-so.
        There is an All inclusive option on the Wiber website and it covers everything and I don't know if to choose it?
        I do not want anyone to pull me on a scratch.
        I would better rent a car on the spot, because I will have my ID card with me (passport ends on the day of arrival in Majorca)

          Renting on the spot is the worst option (Wiber bus only takes those who have reservations first. The lady from the bus checked from the list before entering the bus), but please do it at your own discretion.
          If this clarifies or helps, please go to the wiber website, then click the link at the top in the form of the words "Do you have any questions?", Then slightly below the icon with the shield symbol "Rates, Insurance and Coverage" and the menu will expand .
          In this menu, please select the second item, ie: What does the “All Inclusive rate” include? (translated: What is included in the All Inclusive insurance? ”). And there you have the following (I will only put the translation):
          keys lost or damaged, fuel error, damage to the underside of the vehicle, damage to the windshields and windscreens, damage to the wheels and tires, damage to the clutch, damage to the rearview mirror, antenna and battery. Unlimited mileage. Towing services. Express Line. Full roadside assistance.
          It doesn't matter if you buy it through Rentalcars or directly on Wiber's website. It's the same service and contains the same options. If you feel safer buying directly then you can do it on the wiber website. I hope I helped a little.
          Best regards and have a nice rest!

          I reached the office.
          As mentioned above, CDW is the same option as All inclusive on the Wiber website, currently the price is the same, and even on the Wiber website it is cheaper.
          Thank you and best regards

            Thank you very much for your help, I am very grateful.
            Then I also found out what the insurance contains.
            I know everything, I'm calm.
            I will recommend the site, it develops naturally.
            Best wishes

    I warmly welcome. Thank you very much for all the advice on renting a car. I understand that with full insurance (no matter what damage will occur), I will not be charged additional costs? We will be in Mallorca on Sunday morning, is the rental normally open on this day? Thank you in advance for the information.

      Insurance does not work only if the driver causes an accident under the influence of drugs (alcohol, drugs).
      All inclusive covers virtually everything, including car theft (I described it in one of the previous answers).
      The office is open every day.

    I just booked a car in Alicante at the Wiber rental because as you can see there are also services there, the return flight we have about 07: 55, i.e. how well I understand, however, should I pass this car the day before by 23? because, unfortunately, if the office is open from 7, I probably won't make it on time, right?

    Has anyone from your number where I could contact a Polish woman from this rental?

      It seems to me that 55 minutes is dangerously low. 30 minutes before departure close the check-in gate, so I'd rather not risk it.
      I would do like this:
      - I would drive to the rental shop the day before and return the car
      - after returning the car by Wiber bus, I would go to the airport
      - there are convenient connections to Palma de Mallorca and other destinations from the airport, so it's easy to get to the hotel

      or
      - The Wiber ladies can call you a taxi

    Mr. Jacek, I think there is an option worth considering or do I understand from this message that it is possible to give the car outside of office hours?

    He quotes
    "WHERE TO DROP OFF THE CAR
    Vehicle drop off outside our office hours (between 23: 01 and 06: 59), must be done at a different parking, at the following address:

    EcoParking Alicante

    Ctra Aeropuerto Torrellano, CV852, Km 0.4, 03320, Torrellano

    See on Google Maps

    Do not worry! We also offer the free minibus service from this location to the airport. It is located only 3 minutes from the airport. "

      Yes, in Alicante there seems to be such a possibility. I just checked directly on the site.
      But ATTENTION !!!
      This is only possible for ALL INCLUSIVE rentals (i.e. with full insurance).
      Additionally (if needed) contact with the car park collecting cars at night: tel: + 34971073140

      With full insurance and no deposit in Tenerife see Orlando here - [click]
      They rent at both airports in Tenerife.
      Of course, the offer must have an additional description as below (otherwise they will require a card and a deposit):
      Special offer
      Deposit on delivery is not required - the price includes insurance against accident costs (CDW) with zero deductible, including the cost of damage to tires and windshield, one additional driver.

    Thank you for your help but this time I need a car from Costa Adeje and not from the airport and I see that Orlando does not rent from Costa. I am shown to AVIS with this option:
    “Special Offer The price includes: AC insurance without own contribution (includes bodywork, windows and tires); one additional driver; rental of a tablet with GPS navigation and WiFi for up to 5 devices. "
    I don't know if there will be a blockade on the card or not?

      After entering the details (you need to click the "Avis rental conditions" link next to the AVIS logo on the offer, and then expand the "Deposits, Own contribution and collateral" tab) I found a detailed description of this offer:
      “The car includes an own contribution in the event of theft of € 0,00 including VAT.
      The rental company does not charge a damage deposit when picking up the car. "
      So it looks like they don't take a deposit. Please check for yourself in the offer that you see if it is the same.

    Renting a car without insurance is a lot of courage or stupidity, the line between them is imperceptibly thin. Some roads in Majorca require folding the mirrors when passing, so as not to catch a car from the opposite direction or a rock, so without insurance it is hardcore - I will pay 1000 € for this passing or will it work again? Phew, this time it passed somehow ...
    I have insurance for my own contribution in the credit card, so this time I did not take Wiber all inclusive, but I can confirm that they do not cause any problems in each option, of course if the car returns unchanged. When it comes to insurance, they hardly look at the return - just a glance if it is in one piece and see you again.

      Hello,

      Can you currently find no deposit rentals in Majorca? Megaluf or Palma de Majorca?

      Even the faithful add 700 euros in the offer. The cost for 4 days is around PLN 1700, other offers also with a deposit of around PLN 1100.

      Thank you in advance,

        Yes. There should be no problem finding, especially after reading the entry above.

    Hello, I have a question, is it possible to rent a car also in such an All Inclusive offer (i.e. with full insurance and no deposit, not necessarily via Wiber, there may be any rental) but not via the Internet, only on the spot? Will on-site rentals always charge a deposit?

    Hello,
    I did everything in accordance with the instructions above and easily booked the car through Rentalcars.com, and then thanks to the map I found a bus at the airport and picked up the car at Wiber's office.
    Many thanks Mr. Jack !!! A very helpful post, thanks to which we didn't have any unpleasant surprises.
    It is worth reading it even 3 times and step by step car rental (it's important: no deposit!) Is a pure formality.

      Thank you very much for the comment!
      It is very important for me and other visitors that everything works exactly as I wanted, as described!
      I'm glad everything went well.
      Selection of reservation path (via Rentalcars or directly the site Wibera) it is just a matter of what is more profitable or more convenient at the moment.
      Best wishes!

    Mr. Jack, pls for help, trying to make a reservation with rentalcars and with the description you recommended, but rejects my card (I do not have funds on it). I don't understand, it was supposed to be without a deposit and I would pay later. Any tips on what to do with it? Thank you for your help.

      Rentalcars does not charge a deposit. Takes payment for the reservation and does so immediately when booking. You can make a reservation directly on the website Wibera - [click] choosing the option of payment on delivery. Then it should pass without a problem. You will just have to pay on the spot.

        Hello, Mr. Jacki, is it possible to pick up / leave the car in another place?

          Leaving the car elsewhere is associated with additional fees and rental companies give a prohibitive price for it, so that there are no people willing to do so. In WIBERA it costs, for example, EUR 100.

    Hello,
    I have a question about renting a car.
    Well, we are going to Majorca with a 3-year-old child.
    I do not see the option of choosing a child seat and any additional fees for its rental.

      In the next steps, there will be an option with a car seat and pad for older children (under the "Show extras" button).
      The price is currently around 8 euro / day

    Hello,

    Can you suggest how to choose the ALL INCLUSIVE option? Unfortunately, I don't see this option on Rental Cars.

    Is the Special Offer now called "The price includes comprehensive insurance (CDW) with no excess, additionally covering windshields and tires." on rentalcars? (such a window with a gift stamp)

    An additional question: if I already have a car with the option "The price includes AC insurance (CDW) without own contribution, additionally covering windows and tires." then I need the so-called Additional Insurance from rentalcars for the no-deposit option to work?

    I wish you health

      CDW is ordinary compulsory insurance. I wouldn't count on such amenities as part of it.

    Personally, I don't mind a deposit (I have external insurance in my credit card agreement, but you can also buy it when renting from an intermediary, e.g. booking/rentalcars, autoeurope, etc. or from a company like worldwideisure, etc.), but this is of course a matter of individual choice.
    However, I would like to warn against WIBER for those who prefer the same scheme as me.
    WIBER are just scammers if you don't buy their expensive insurance. I rented a car from them in Alicante, when picking up the car there was classic pressure to buy their insurance - of course I refused (because I have external) and therefore a recommendation to take pictures of the damage.
    When returning the item, the employee immediately focused on the damaged rim (which I was 100% sure I didn't damage), and when I objected, demanded a photo of it (i.e. prove that I'm not a camel).
    There were 2 hours until departure – so time pressure, because if I don't sign the damage acknowledgement, they say they won't take me and my family to the airport (about 2 km). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo with them, because I didn't pay attention to the rims and took photos of the bodywork, so I signed it. Only after returning, calmly at home, did I find a photo in which the rim was accidentally there and its damage was visible.
    Con artists.
    The general rule is this – if you buy their expensive insurance at 10-20 EUR/day from any rental company, then each of them is great, good and "professional".
    However, if you have external insurance - free in the credit card agreement, or you paid somewhere around 60-80 EUR/year (I will not mention the service, because I understand that this is not an advertising blog)), then definitely avoid WIBER. The same as Goldcar.
