Hello All
I am just a few days (12) away from enjoying paradise. There is one thing that I am still struggling with. Do most car rental agencies take out a deposit on the rentals. I would really hate for a car rental agency to tie up $750- 1000 on my Credit Card.
Does anyone have any experience with this or do you have any recommendations for companies that don't have outrageous deposits.

Some do. Better ask ahead! Not more than $500 though.

I've rented from Budget and Avis on St. Croix and neither asked for a deposit, but both made an imprint of a credit card when I signed it out at the beginning.

Thank You all for your help on this question. I did finally call the agency and they do not take out a deposits. I got a little worred after reading a couple of threads that indicated a deposit was taken out on their card.

Thanks Again (11 days)
