I just rented a car in Europe and they held 1,200 euros against my credit card against a 914 euro bill. While I did not pay the amount, it was a hold on my credit card. If you are talking cash, that is another matter.

We always use a cc, not only for the added insurance but for practicality. (And speaking of insurance, full coverage with zero liability is the way to go in Mexico.) I don't think you can rent a car anywhere without collateral. We enjoy driving the south and east coast, be sure to stop at the Bob Marley Bar on the south to, amazing views there. http://bobmarleybar.comSorry Desdemona, just realized you were there last month. How did your trip go?

Insurance may be included but you're taking a risk of spending time at the jailhouse if involved in an accident. We are also covered by cc as well as our auto insurance and although I have declined the extra insurance in the past no longer.
