I do several rentals a year and I have an annual 'excess'policy costing £49;I obviously,therefore,do not take out the policy offered by the rental company,however the deposit system seems to vary widely,some do not take anything,some take 300e,and our latest,Victoria,took 700e and debited my account immediately(this is the first time that's happened,the others usually just swipe the card and 'hold' the deposit)
It would be intersting to know other peoples views on this practice.
