I would like to know the deposit that will be blocked on my credit card when I rent a car in Bologna for the economic Seat Leon.

Each car supplier has a different deposit, you can find it under:- “IMPORTANT INFORMATION”, then click on "PAYMENT" and all information will be showed.
Client

This is what is written when you choose Seat Leon from ECOVIA at Bologna Airport:- A deposit amount of EUR 750 will be held against your credit card for the duration of the rental. Your deposit is a guarantee held in the event of damage/theft of the vehicle. This will be automatically released if there is no theft or damage during the rental period. Please note that this does not represent your total excess liability which can be found in the Insurance Coverage section.
Client
And with extra insurance cover?
Agent
Insurance Excess and Security Deposit are not strictly connected. You can remove or reduce your excess for you insurance liability during the online booking process with our insurance partner AXA. This is likely the most comprehensive and cost effective insurance available. However you will be offered extra insurance at the desk on arrival. To view these options, next to the car photo is a link entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION Click on this and then on INSURANCE and it will display the options of that particular supplier. Try a few different suppliers as they do vary widely. A SECURITY DEPOSIT: is held on your credit card during the rental period. Again clicking on the same link IMPORTANT INFORMATION will reveal what the Security Deposit will be for each supplier.
