When will the car rental deposit be returned?

Brooklands trusts its customers, which is why we have eliminated the deposit requirement. Whether you want to rent luxury car in Dubai or any other vehicle from our fleet, you simply need to provide the necessary documents, sign the agreement, and choose a convenient payment option. This means that Brooklands’ customers don’t have to worry about getting their deposit back after the rental period ends.

Many other car rental companies in Dubai may freeze a deposit on the customer’s credit card, which is returned 30 days after the car is handed back. During this time, the company may receive information about any fines the driver incurred during the rental period. In such cases, the amount of the fines and the company’s administrative fees for processing them will be deducted from the deposit.

The Deposit Return Process

The deposit return process in other companies typically includes the following steps:

1. After the car is returned, the company inspects it for damage and wear. If any damage is found that is not covered by insurance, the cost may be deducted from the deposit.
2. The company waits for information about any fines incurred by the renter during the rental period. This period usually lasts up to 30 days after the car is returned.
3. If there are no fines and the car’s condition is satisfactory, the company initiates the process of returning the full deposit amount to the customer’s card. The time it takes for the funds to arrive may vary depending on the card issuer’s bank.
4. If there are fines or damages, the company deducts the corresponding amounts from the deposit and returns the balance to the customer.

Withholding the Deposit

The deposit may be withheld, in full or in part, in the following cases:

— Returning the car with damage not covered by insurance

— Having unpaid fines for traffic violations or parking

— Exceeding the mileage limit specified in the rental agreement

— Smoking inside the car

— Requiring additional cleaning or removal of heavy soiling in the interior

Unlike many competitors, Brooklands strives to make the rental process as convenient and transparent as possible for customers. By eliminating the deposit, we allow our customers to avoid tying up significant funds on their credit card and waiting a long time for the deposit to be returned. We value our customers and their time, so we minimize bureaucratic procedures and financial burdens. Rent a car from Brooklands and enjoy your trip without any extra worries!
