I am interested to book a rental car at the Airport Venice Marco Polo, what is the security deposit?

The security deposit on hire vehicles is normally around €300
Client
There is no amount specified in refundable security deposit, can you please confirm?

There are always ways to reduce deposits, at the desk by taking the EXTRA INSURANCE. At the end of the day most people cannot afford a deposit of more than 300. Do you have a credit card?
Client
Yes.
Agent
OK. If you have a credit card then it is VERY likely to be 300 or less! You may find this Youtube Video about deposit of interest (click link to direct to video):- [link]

Please be advised that by renting with Sixt, in addition to the rental charge, a security deposit will be blocked on the payment method as a guarantee, which will be released when the vehicle is returned. The amount of the security deposit depends on the vehicle group of the rented vehicle according to the table below: Small & Economy cars: 300 EUR Midsize: 500 EUR Sports & Luxury: 3000 eur
