No-deposit options
Faro Airport (FAO), Portugal
Condition breakdown
A €0 damage deposit is only available on a qualifying final offer — a specific supplier, product and date combination. It is never a blanket rule for the whole airport.
- Damage deposit
- €0 on qualifying final offer
Only when the checkout page and voucher both state a zero damage hold.
- Fuel amount / hold
- €70–€250 typical fuel amount depending on tank size and policy
- Toll amount / charge
- €100 Via Verde toll amount, held separately
The €100 Via Verde amount is a separate toll line. It is not the damage deposit and not the fuel amount, and it is settled against actual toll usage.
- Card requirement
- Named card in the main driver's name, normally Visa or Mastercard credit
- Contractual liability
- Liability for damage remains in the rental contract even when nothing is blocked on the card.
What this means in practice
- A €0 damage deposit does not mean no money can be held at all: fuel and toll amounts are separate lines.
- Marketplace reimbursement cover pays you back after a claim. It does not automatically remove the supplier's own collection deposit.
- Availability changes by date, product and counter. Re-check the final checkout page before paying.
