A note for anyone thinking of renting a car from Budget in Ireland and declining CDW. Budget now requires a 2,000 euro deposit. This is not just a block on your credit card. You must put 2,000 on your credit card. You get a refund when departing if the car is okay. Depending on when your credit card bill is due you could end up paying a lot and then getting a refund on the next bill.

Thought you would want to know.
