No-Deposit Car Rental in Miami

Don't want a few hundred dollars frozen on your card for your whole trip? With iRent's DepositFree option, powered by Cardoo, you can skip the security-deposit hold entirely.

Short answer: With DepositFree by Cardoo, iRent replaces the usual $250+ security-deposit hold with a small daily fee — often just a couple of dollars a day. Cardoo issues a guarantee that covers the deposit for iRent, so you drive with your cash free. You're still responsible for tolls, fuel, fines, and any damage.

How no-deposit rental works

  1. Choose DepositFree at booking (or just ask our team) instead of leaving the standard deposit.
  2. Cardoo issues a guarantee to iRent that covers your deposit amount — so we're protected without holding your money.
  3. Pick up with no big hold — you pay only a small daily fee and keep your funds free for the trip.

Why go deposit-free

What you're still responsible for

DepositFree covers the deposit guarantee — not your driving responsibilities. You remain responsible for tolls, fuel (same-to-same), traffic fines, and any damage, just like a normal rental. Want damage protection too? See our coverage guide.
