Yes, a standard deposit is required when you book a trip with Kyte. Here's what you need to know:
How much is the deposit?
The deposit amount depends on your payment method and the type of car you book:
Vehicle Class | Booked using a credit card | Booked using a debit card |
Premium | $500 | $500 |
All other classes | $300 | $500 |
When is the deposit charged?
The deposit is placed on your card on the day your trip starts.
When will my deposit be refunded?
Trips Under 27 Days: The hold is typically released within three days after your trip ends. However, it may take up to 10 additional business days to disappear from your pending transactions. The release won't show as a refund; the original charge will simply be removed from your statement.
Trips Over 27 Days: For longer trips, the deposit amount is captured and then refunded within the same timeframe as mentioned above. You'll see this as a credit on your statement.
What if there's a claim on my trip?
If there's an open claim (e.g., for damage), the deposit release will depend on the outcome of that claim.
