Allow for the card hold after returning the car

Based on public sources checked 8 Sept 2026 · Source details

Drive’s national terms require a credit card in the main driver’s name and set deposit holds by vehicle category. Release can take up to two bank-processing weeks. Pay-on-arrival and prepaid cancellation rules differ, so the payment choice matters before reserving.

Ask before booking: Which hold and excess apply to my car, which cancellation rules apply to this rate, and when should the hold be released?
