Do car companies require a security bond in Canada?

Car rental companies will require a security deposit ‘held’ against your credit card. The credit card must be in the name of the renter shown on our booking and must have sufficient funds to cover the required deposit / excess. Usually CASH and DEBIT CARDS (including Travelex Cards) are not accepted and may result in refusal by the supplier to release the vehicle. Deposit amounts vary and will generally equate to the value of the Excess liability. This may affect the credit available to you on your credit card for several days after the vehicle is returned. In some instances the bond can be paid in cash (check with DriveAway as this will need to be confirmed in advance).
