Security deposit
Refundable deposit held on your card

- Rentals of 11 to 20 days: $400
- Rentals over 20 days: $500
- Florida residents: $2,000 for any length of rental
Why Florida residents pay more: our insurance covers ticketed travelers visiting Palm Beach, who represent a lower risk. It does not cover Florida residents, so the larger deposit protects the vehicle instead. The deposit is released after the vehicle is returned and inspected. Florida residents are also limited to 50 miles per day, with extra miles at $0.50 per mile.
Everything is laid out here so there are no surprises. Take your time.
1. Booking requirements

- A $200 security deposit will be held on the driver's credit card ($400 for rentals over 10 days, $500 for rentals over 20 days). Florida residents: $2,000 security deposit hold, because our insurance covers ticketed travelers, not Florida residents.

Your own policy must be issued in the U.S. by an insurer licensed in Florida and rated A- or better by A.M. Best, cover rental vehicles, and include liability of at least $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident and $50,000 property damage, plus collision and comprehensive with a deductible of $1,000 or less unless you add our Collision Damage Waiver. Payment card benefits alone do not qualify. If your coverage does not qualify, the vehicle is not released. We do not sell liability insurance.
- Third-party broker insurance may require the renter to pay upfront after an accident and seek reimbursement from the broker.
- 12-passenger van renters must show at least $1,000,000 combined liability coverage on their own policy, with no exclusion for vans of that size.

- Personal toll devices are not allowed. Tolls are pay-as-you-go with the vehicle's toll device. Every vehicle has our pre-installed SunPass. Choose one: pay as you go, with tolls charged at cost after return plus a $9.99 administration fee for each day tolls are used, or the unlimited toll plan at $19.99/day with no toll charges and no admin fee.
- Cleaning, smoking/vaping, animal transport, late return, unauthorized-use, lost key, fuel, damage, and claims fees may apply.
