Why do car companies only pre-authorize a few thousand dollars from credit cards? Aren't they afraid that they won't return the car after it has left? How do they prevent such problems?
1, fines for automatic punishment for road violations (such as running a red light); 2. Compensation for minor vehicle faults/accidents; 3. Rent generated during the lease period and possible extension. For vehicle damage prevention, such a small amount of pre-authorization is obviously useless, so the actual anti-theft measures are as follows: 1, all rented vehicles will be equipped with special GPS equipment, and the position of the vehicles will be fed back to the car rental company in real time. If there is any abnormality, the car rental company can take further measures (alarm, remote locking of the vehicle, etc.). ); 2. All rented vehicles have special insurance. Once the vehicle is confirmed to be stolen, the insurance company will make a claim; 3. The credit card itself is the guarantee of the customer's true identity. Once the stolen police intervene, they can further trace the clues of customers (which is one of the reasons why car rental companies do not accept cash deposits that can obviously bring cash flow). Cell phone password, that's all
