How much is the deposit, and can I pay with a debit card?

At Dar International Airport the deposit held on your card ranges from £369 with Europcar to £443 with Auto-Union; none of the 2 desks quoting live right now takes a debit card.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.
