Why so many cars here need no deposit
In a lot of countries a rental deposit means a large hold on your credit card for the length of the trip. Georgia is friendlier: the local suppliers compete hard, and a big share of their cars are listed with no deposit at all, with most of the rest asking only a small one. For a visitor that means less pressure on your card limit and a simpler pickup.
Deposit is not the same as excess
Two different things often get confused. The deposit is a temporary hold the supplier may take and release at the end. The excess is the most you would be liable for if the car is damaged. A no-deposit car still carries an excess, so if you want true peace of mind, add full coverage to bring that excess down to zero as well.
How to book a no-deposit car
Search your pickup city and dates, then read each listing: the deposit, excess and full-coverage price are shown up front, next to the daily rate. Compare the zero-deposit options from the local suppliers and book the one that suits you, with free cancellation on most cars. Browse the full fleet or jump straight into a search.
