Credit Card Hold for Rental Car

[tbrenk]

If I have a rate of $200.38 with Dollar, does anyone know how much of a hold they will put on my credit card when I pick up the car? Is it the full amount or more? Thanks

Can rental companies do not need a credit card to hold your reservation. It will be held with no charge until you pick up the car.

I am sorry, I didn't word that quite right. I meant to say when I pick up the car.

When you pick up the car, I think they put a $250 hold until the rental is complete and total is confirmed.

HTH!

I was wrong, but it looks like doing the math below, it will be a $250 hold on your ressie. Here's the small print from the confirmation email.

Financial Information: Debit Cards: Customers using debit cards to
qualify to rent at the beginning of the rental will be subject to a debit
card screening, which may impact the customer's credit evaluation. If
the screening fails to meet our debit card criteria, the customer will be
required to present a major credit card in order to qualify to rent.
A hold will be placed on all credit/debit cards for the estimated
amount of the rental plus 15% OR a minimum of $250.00, whichever is greater.
We will remove the hold at the end of the rental when the final charges
are settled.
Prepaid credit cards, gift cards and debit/check cards are accepted for
payment at the end of the rental.
