To start off make sure that the company has the vehicle suitable for your needs. Make sure that the vehicle has enough luggage space and that you will be comfortable driving around. The other thing to look for is the fuel policy. At Maltacarhire.Mt we have a full to full fuel policy but one can find companies that charge for fuel. Apart from this, make sure that you are getting a good package deal with no hidden charges. We try to be as transparent as possible and the only additional fees are for any extra that the client may wish to purchase at time of rental.
When a card is pre-authorised, a fixed amount is frozen and blocked on the customer’s credit card account for a period of 24 to 30 days. This is done as a security guarantee in favour of the company. The money will remain in the cardholder’s account but during that time the cardholder cannot use the funds for other purchases. The amount is reserved only for the car hire company and can only be used in the event of unforeseen and post rental charges.
