What deposit is needed without a credit card, and how is it paid?

RS AVTO takes a refundable deposit from US$ 500 instead of a hold on a credit card; the exact amount depends on the model: lower for economy cars, higher for 4×4 pickups and vans. The RS AVTO deposit is paid at pick-up in cash, by debit card or by credit card. Most of the deposit is returned right at drop-off after the inspection, and the rest after traffic fines are checked. RS AVTO accepts USDT for the online prepayment of the rental; if you want to pay the deposit itself in USDT, ask RS AVTO before you book.

How much does a car rental cost per day for a week or a month?

The daily price at RS AVTO depends on the model and the length: the longer the rental, the cheaper each day, and a monthly rental has the lowest price, from US$ 35 a day. Prices are in US dollars. The RS AVTO price includes insurance, car delivery and return within Buenos Aires, a child seat and a second driver; tolls and parking are paid separately. RS AVTO lets you cancel a booking for free 24 hours or more before pick-up.

Which cars can you rent at RS AVTO without a credit card?

RS AVTO rents its whole fleet without a credit card: economy cars and hybrids, Toyota Corolla sedans, SUVs, family cars and vans, and 4×4 pickups for long trips. The RS AVTO terms are the same for every model — a contract, insurance and a refundable deposit instead of a credit card; only the deposit amount and the daily price differ. Each RS AVTO model has its own page with photos, specifications and prices for every rental length.

What documents do you need to rent a car at RS AVTO?

To rent at RS AVTO you need a passport and a valid driving licence held for 3 years or more; the driver must be at least 23. RS AVTO does not require an International Driving Permit. A foreign licence is generally recognised for up to 1 year from your date of entry (Russian citizens: the first 3 months as a tourist only); after that you need an Argentine licence (see Can I drive in Argentina with a foreign licence?). A credit card is not on the RS AVTO list of documents.

Why do rental companies ask for a credit card, and what replaces it?

Rental chains place a hold on a credit card for a security amount (pre-autorización) and charge it only if there is a claim; many do not accept debit cards for the hold, and many visitors have no credit card. RS AVTO replaces the hold with a refundable deposit paid at pick-up. Before you book with any company, RS AVTO included, ask five questions:

• How much is the deposit and how can I pay it (cash, debit card, transfer)?
• When and how is it refunded, and what can be deducted?
• Is there a written rental contract, and which legal entity (with CUIT tax number) rents the car? At RS AVTO it is CARGO MOBILITY SRL, CUIT 30-71948471-5.
• What does the insurance cover, and what is the excess?
• Is there a mileage limit, and can I leave the city or the country?

What does the RS AVTO rental include in insurance, mileage and delivery?

RS AVTO includes in the price insurance with an excess (in an incident you pay at most the excess), delivery and return of the car within Buenos Aires, a child seat and a second driver; tolls and parking are paid separately. The RS AVTO mileage is 300 km per day, pooled over the whole rental (10 days = 3,000 km), and each extra km costs US$ 0.33. RS AVTO brings the car to the airport for US$ 50 (Aeroparque) or US$ 100 (Ezeiza); delivery within the city is free. RS AVTO allows trips to Uruguay and Brazil if you agree on them in advance.

How do you book a car at RS AVTO without a credit card in three steps?

Booking at RS AVTO through ArgHub takes three steps:

• Choose a car and dates on the RS AVTO page in ArgHub: the price, the deposit and the terms are visible before you book.
• Pay the prepayment online in USDT or by card through the link the RS AVTO manager sends; confirmation comes right after payment.
• Pick up the car in Buenos Aires (delivery within the city is free) with your passport and licence, and pay the deposit in cash or by card.

What should you check at pick-up at RS AVTO?

• Walk around the car with the RS AVTO agent; take photos and a video of the body, the interior and the dashboard (mileage and fuel).
• Make sure the car papers and proof of insurance are in the car: police can ask for them (Ley 24.449, art. 40).
• Ask how barrier-free tolls are paid (TelePASE); see the article on tolls.
• Save the RS AVTO phone number in case of an accident or breakdown.

How do you get your RS AVTO deposit back without disputes?

Return the car to RS AVTO on time, with the same fuel level and no new damage; take photos again at drop-off and ask for confirmation that there are no claims. Camera fines arrive with a delay, so check in the RS AVTO contract how the company tells you about them after the rental.
