Is there a way of hiring a car without using a credit card deposit prior hiring a car?
Agent
A deposit is always required, although they may vary from supplier to supplier.

You can check on the size of the likely deposit are you looking here:-

At STEP2 of our 3 step online booking process, to the right of the car photo of your choice, is a link entitled "IMPORTANT INFORMATION". Click on this link and it will open an additional smaller window, where the terms and conditions appertaining to that particular car at your chosen location are displayed.

Some companies ask for a very high security deposit, which is held against the credit card until the car is returned. They do this, so you will be persuaded to take out the extra insurance at the desk to reduce the deposit. It is normal for a deposit of around 300€ At STEP2 of our online booking process, click on a few different suppliers as they all offer different amounts of deposit. Next to each car photo is a link entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION , click on this and then on DEPOSIT, to view the size of deposit. For example, CENTAURO 1050€, RECORD 950€, NIZA 1110€, FIREFLY 1110€ I hope this information is helpful.

You may be offered online extra insurance with our partner AXA. This could reduce your deposit amount. Also, it is possible to lower the deposit amount on arrival at the desk where are you will be asked to take out additional insurance.

For example, I see INTERRENT (a supplier) deposit is 800€
