FAQ : Picking up a rental car at Europcar French Guiana.

A deposit is a sum of money temporarily blocked in your bank account when you rent a vehicle. It serves as a guarantee to cover any additional costs, such as vehicle damage, fines or fuel costs. A SWIKLY option is available for a fee, enabling you to validate the deposit. For a smoother experience, we offer the SWIKLY pay option. For a fee of €30, this service offers the advantage of not tying up funds in your account, as it involves no bank imprint. This allows for more flexible management of your deposit, while providing the necessary protection for your rental.

The amount of the deposit varies according to the type of vehicle. It is specified in the rental conditions or on your contract.

The deposit amount is blocked for a period of 48 hours after the return of the rental vehicle.

At Europcar Guyane, the standard excess is set at €1,200. However, in the interests of flexibility and customer service, we have decided to retain only half of this amount. However, it is important to note that should an incident occur involving the vehicle, the full €1,200 deductible may be claimed.

In addition, if you choose not to provide your credit card details, an alternative measure is applied: the full deposit, i.e. €1,200, will be blocked.
