Reputable companies like Tuk Tuk Rental usually require a security deposit of around 150 USD. This is fully refundable when you return the vehicle without major damages. They typically accept this as a hold on a major credit card or as a cash deposit.

Smaller, independent rental shops might ask for a lower cash deposit or, dangerously, ask to hold your physical passport. You should never, under any circumstances, surrender your actual passport to a rental agency as collateral.
