Hi 🙌,
to add to what Thijs mentioned, based on my experience, the car rental agent usually tells you how long it will take for them to release the security payment back to you and it never happened to me that it was immediate... but always within a time Fram of 10 to 15 working days.
Sometimes it happened that no one from the car rental released the booking on my card and then had to wait the default 30 days.. after which automatically any reserve on Master Cards, if not used, are just released.
Dealing with rental companies.. if they are not one of the big ones (AVIS, EUROPCAR, HERTZ).. and also those ones have issues, is always a pain from start to end 🤔
I hope it helps 🙏
Regards
GG
