    Direct WebFetch to a neutral control URL (example.com) and to www.goldcar.es both returned EGRESS_BLOCKED again today — same environment-level restriction as on every prior run — so verification used web search against each vendor's own official pages/FAQs instead. No discrepancies found for these 8 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's own Goldcarhelp FAQs reconfirming Spain/Portugal nominative debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit, refund within 15 days (usually under 10), Centauro's conditions PDF and help pages again giving only a general, non-per-group deposit range (€900-2,100 to €1,100-2,600 depending on the source) plus the €100 Via Verde toll deposit for Portugal — consistent with, not contradicting, the per-group figures already confirmed on this site, Record go's own FAQ and 'car rental with debit card' pages reconfirming debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit (prepaid excluded, comprehensive cover removes it), Sixt's own help-centre payment-methods articles reconfirming debit accepted only via the Visa/Mastercard network with a 3-5 business day refund — still a general/international summary that doesn't resolve the site's existing 'conflicting info' flag against Sixt's Portuguese terms wording, Cael's own site and third-party guides reconfirming the caução is only available on a physical credit card in the main driver's name (no debit workaround), Guerin's own FAQ pages reconfirming debit card/MB WAY accepted for payment but a physical credit card in the contract holder's name always required for the caução/fuel deposit/franchise — search snippets again quoted franchise-reduction figures (€300/€600) that read narrower than this site's stated €600-1,000 range, same ambiguity as on prior verification days, not treated as a confirmed change since the primary guerin.pt page itself remains unreachable (EGRESS_BLOCKED), Europcar's own Deposit Policy and Premium Pick-up terms pages reconfirming the exact €3,000/€1,000 (with zero-excess cover) deposit figures and the two-physical-credit-card requirement for Special/Premium/Luxury (X/P/U/L/W) categories in Portugal, and OK Mobility's own help-centre FAQ confirming the excess can only be blocked on a credit card unless Premium Cover is purchased (no debit workaround, refund in 14-31 days), matching the site's warning about debit refusals at Lisbon Airport, all matched.

No discrepancies found for these 8 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's Spain/Portugal physical, nominative Visa/Mastercard(Maestro) debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit (charged then manually refunded within a few days), Centauro's own V05may/2026 conditions PDF surfaced a consistent, non-conflicting Portugal-specific per-group deposit table today (A/A1/B/D €1,200, C-series €1,400, F-series €1,600, G/S €1,800, C2/S8-S10 €1,900) that matches this site's published figures exactly, resolving the ambiguity flagged on prior days — still not a direct PDF read (blocked), so treat as web-search-confirmed rather than document-verified, Record go's Visa/Mastercard debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit per its own 'car rental with debit card' page and FAQ (prepaid excluded, comprehensive cover removes the deposit), Sixt's debit-accepted-only-when-linked-to-Visa/Mastercard-network policy (Maestro/V-Pay/Visa Electron/prepaid excluded, card valid one month past return) — a general/international summary again, so it still does not resolve the site's existing 'conflicting info' flag against the Portugal-specific credit-card-only terms, Cael's physical-credit-card-only caução (VISA/MasterCard/Amex/Diners/Unibanco accepted, no debit workaround), Guerin's debit/MB WAY-for-payment-but-physical-credit-card-only-for-caução split (cash, debit and prepaid Visa Electron/Maestro cards excluded from the deposit specifically; a credit card from the reservation holder must be presented alongside a debit-paid booking), Europcar's own 'Specific Terms Premium Pick-up' page confirming the €3,000 Premium/Luxury deposit reduced to €1,000 with a zero-excess protection and the two-physical-credit-card requirement for Special/Premium/Luxury (X/P/U/L/W) groups regardless of cover, and OK Mobility's traveller reports of debit cards being refused at Lisbon Airport (accepted only when the card was in fact a credit card mislabelled at a glance, or under a fully-insured package) all matched.

    Direct WebFetch to seven vendor domains, to Centauro's CDN-hosted conditions PDF (condiciones_en_100c10931e.pdf), and to a neutral control URL (example.com) all returned EGRESS_BLOCKED again today — same environment-level restriction as on every prior run — so verification used web search against each vendor's own official pages/FAQs instead. No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's Spain/Portugal physical, nominative Visa/Mastercard debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit (embossed, bank-issued cards only, prepaid/Visa Electron excluded, 28-day max rental on debit, manual refund within a few days), Record go's Visa/Mastercard debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit per its own 'car rental with debit card' page and FAQ (prepaid excluded, comprehensive cover removes the deposit), Sixt's split policy (Maestro/V PAY debit debited directly and refunded within ~10 business days for eligible categories, but excluded for sports/luxury and certain higher categories) which is a general/international summary, not Portugal-specific, so it does not resolve the site's existing 'conflicting info' flag for Sixt, Cael's physical-credit-card-only caução (credit card required at pickup regardless of booking method, matching repeated traveller reports of debit being refused despite being accepted online), Guerin's debit/MB WAY-for-payment-but-physical-credit-card-only-for-caução split (fuel deposit and excess/franchise liability also require a physical, non-virtual credit card in the contract holder's name; cash, debit and prepaid cards excluded from the deposit), Europcar's own 'Specific Terms Premium Pick-up' page confirming the €3,000 Premium/Luxury deposit reduced to €1,000 with a zero-excess cover and the two-physical-credit-card requirement for Special/Premium/Luxury (X/P/U/L/W) groups regardless of cover, and OK Mobility's VISA/MASTERCARD-credit-card-only excess/deposit block (debit only workable via OK Premium Cover or OK Premium International) all matched. Centauro remains unresolved: today's search returned a detailed per-group table from what appears to be the same official V05may/2026 conditions PDF, but attributed conflicting deposit figures to the same group codes (C2/S8/S8A/S9/S9A/S10) depending on which country section of the multi-country document a given search snippet was drawn from — e.g. €2,200 attributed to 'Italy' vs €1,900 attributed to 'Portugal' for that same group code in two separate searches. The Portugal-specific figure found (€1,900) matches this site's existing published figure, so nothing was changed, but the per-group breakdown still cannot be fully confirmed without a direct read of the PDF (still blocked by EGRESS_BLOCKED).

No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's Spain/Portugal physical, nominative debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit (charged then manually refunded within a few days; premium groups X/P/U/L/W still need two physical credit cards regardless of cover), Record go's Visa/Mastercard debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit per its own FAQ and point 6.1 of its T&Cs (prepaid excluded, Total Comfort removes the deposit), Sixt's internationally-recognised-credit-card-only policy with debit accepted only when linked to the Visa/Mastercard network (Maestro/prepaid/cash excluded, card valid one month past the return date, deposit €200-€1,500 depending on vehicle group) alongside the still-unresolved conflict between its Portugal terms and its debit-friendly help-centre wording, Cael's physical-credit-card-only caução (international credit card in the renter's own name required, debit not accepted unless otherwise stated, travellers again reporting debit accepted at booking but refused at pickup), Guerin's debit/MB WAY-for-payment-but-physical-credit-card-only-for-caução split (deposit, fuel deposit and excess-liability specifically require a physical credit card, virtual cards excluded), Europcar's own 'Specific Terms Premium Pick-up' page confirming the €3,000 Premium/Luxury (P/U/L/W) deposit reduced to €1,000 with a zero-excess protection and the two-physical-credit-card requirement regardless of cover (MasterCard/Visa/Amex/Diners accepted), and OK Mobility's VISA/MASTERCARD-only policy (AMEX only in Spain/Germany) with debit only workable by buying OK Premium Cover or OK Premium International to block the excess on a credit card, all matched. Centauro remains unresolved: today's search surfaced a newer-looking conditions PDF filename (condiciones_es_21b77f880e.pdf, dated V06JUN/2026) plus an AI-generated search summary claiming a €0 deposit for groups A/A1/B/D — this contradicts the site's existing, more specific €1,200-€1,900 per-group figures and could not be corroborated by an actual read of the PDF or the vendor's page (both still EGRESS_BLOCKED), so it is treated as an unreliable summary and NOT applied; left unchanged pending a direct read of the document.

    Direct WebFetch to a vendor domain (www.goldcar.es), to Centauro's CDN-hosted conditions PDF, and to a neutral control URL (example.com) all returned EGRESS_BLOCKED again today — same environment-level restriction as on every prior run — so verification used web search against each vendor's own official pages/FAQs instead. No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's Spain/Portugal debit-deposit acceptance (charged to the card in the holder's name, refunded within 15 days, usually under 10), Record go's debit-card acceptance for payment and deposit per its own 'car rental with debit card' page and FAQ (point 6.1 of its T&Cs) with the Total Comfort no-excess cover available, Sixt's internationally-recognised-credit-card-only policy with debit accepted only when linked to Visa/Mastercard networks (Visa Electron/Maestro/prepaid excluded, card valid 1 month past return) alongside the still-unresolved conflict between its Portugal terms and debit-friendly help-centre wording, Cael's credit-card-only caução (debit not accepted per Trustpilot/Auto Europe reporting, consistent with our clause-12.2 no-show warning), Guerin's debit/MB WAY-for-payment-but-physical-credit-card-only-for-caução split (cash, debit, Visa Electron and Maestro excluded from the deposit specifically, virtual cards excluded), Europcar's own 'Specific Terms Premium Pick-up' page confirming the €3,000 Premium/Luxury (P/U/L/W) and €1,000 Special (X) deposits, each reduced to €1,000/€500 with a zero-excess protection, and the two-physical-credit-card requirement for those groups regardless of cover, and OK Mobility's personal-credit-card deposit requirement (third-party cards refused; debit only reported as workable on some fully-insured packages, matching our 'travellers report debit refused' framing) all matched. Centauro remains unresolved: a newer conditions PDF surfaced today (V06JUN/2026, condiciones_es_21b77f880e.pdf, superseding the previously seen V05may/2026 version) with one search summary giving €990 for groups A/A1/B/D/B2/BE/BEC/D2 while another summary the same day gave an unrelated €900–2,100 overall range — the same day-to-day contradictory-figure pattern seen on every prior run — so this is still not treated as a reliable per-group breakdown and was not used to change the site's published figures (A/A1/B/D €1,200 through C2/S8–S10 €1,900). Left unchanged pending a direct read of the new PDF (still blocked by EGRESS_BLOCKED); worth a manual check given the version bump.

Centauro remains unresolved: today's search again surfaced mutually inconsistent deposit ranges (€900–2,100 from one summary, €1,100–2,600 from another citing the current V05may/2026 PDF) rather than a verifiable per-group breakdown, so it still cannot be confirmed or corrected against the site's published per-group figures (A/A1/B/D €1,200 through C2/S8–S10 €1,900); left unchanged pending a direct read of https://cdn.centauro.net/web/condiciones_en_100c10931e.pdf (still blocked by EGRESS_BLOCKED).

    Direct WebFetch to a vendor domain (www.goldcar.es) and, by prior pattern, every other vendor domain was blocked again today with EGRESS_BLOCKED, so verification used web search against each vendor's own official pages/FAQs instead. No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's Spain/Portugal VISA/MasterCard/Maestro debit-deposit acceptance (charged then manually refunded within 15 days, usually under 10; Diners/Amex/prepaid/Postepay/cash excluded) plus the premium-category two-credit-card rule, Record go's nominative Visa/Mastercard debit-card acceptance for both payment and deposit (prepaid excluded, physical card presentation required), Sixt's internationally-recognised-credit-card-only policy with the still-unresolved conflict between pages stating credit-card-only and pages allowing Visa/Mastercard-network debit (Maestro/prepaid excluded either way), Cael's credit-card-only caução (VISA/MasterCard/Amex/Diners/Unibanco; debit not accepted), Guerin's debit/MB WAY-for-payment-but-physical-credit-card-only-for-caução split (debit and prepaid excluded from the deposit specifically), Europcar's Specific Terms Premium Pick-up page confirming the two-physical-credit-card requirement for X/P/U/L/W groups regardless of cover and the €3,000 Premium/Luxury deposit reduced to €1,000 with zero-excess cover, and OK Mobility's own-name credit-card deposit requirement (VISA/MASTERCARD/AMEX, no debit workaround surfaced) all matched. Centauro remains unresolved: repeated searches today returned mutually contradictory deposit figures for the same vehicle groups (one summary claimed €0 for A/A1/B/D, others claimed €400, €900–2,100, or €1,100–2,600 depending on the search), none of them a direct read of the linked conditions PDF (still blocked by EGRESS_BLOCKED), so this noisy, self-contradicting search data was not used to change anything — Centauro stays excluded and unchanged pending a direct source read.

Centauro remains unresolved: a search snippet citing the current 'V05may/2026' conditions PDF (confirmed as the live version, superseding 'V05JUL/2025') gives an overall deposit range of €1,100–2,600 'depending on car type', which conflicts with the site's published per-group range of €1,200–1,900 — but it is a general summary blurb, not the per-group breakdown needed to correct the published figures, so it was left unchanged. Recommend a manual/direct read of https://cdn.centauro.net/web/condiciones_en_100c10931e.pdf to get the actual per-group numbers before publishing any correction.

Centauro remains unresolved for a seventeenth day: search surfaced two Centauro CDN PDF links (condiciones_es_d523ee995d.pdf dated V03MAY/2025 and condiciones_es_fbb1f55ca2.pdf dated V05JUL/2025 — both still 403 via direct fetch) and reconfirmed the two-credit-card requirement for groups C2/S1–S10 matching what's published, but returned no reliable per-group deposit figure for the higher groups, so the site's €1,200–1,900 range was left unchanged. Recommend a manual check of one of those PDFs (or the newer version referenced on 2026-07-13) before publishing a number change.

    Direct WebFetch was blocked across the board today, including on a control fetch of a neutral, unrelated domain (example.com also returned 403) — this confirms the block is an environment/egress-policy restriction rather than something vendor-specific to route around, so verification again used web search against each vendor's own official pages/FAQs. No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site: Goldcar's debit-deposit and two-credit-card premium rule, Record go's debit acceptance, Sixt's conflicting Portugal-vs-international card messaging, Cael's credit-card-only deposit, Guerin's physical-credit-card-only caução, Europcar's €1,000–€3,000 two-card premium deposit, and OK Mobility's mixed debit acceptance all matched. Centauro remains unresolved for a fourth day: search-summarized figures for its higher vehicle groups were inconsistent yet again (today: €1,100–2,600, differing from both the site's €1,200–1,900 and from prior days' figures), reinforcing that this number cannot be confirmed without a direct read of https://cdn.centauro.net/web/condiciones_en_100c10931e.pdf (still 403 via direct fetch and via an r.jina.ai proxy attempt).

No discrepancies found for these 7 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site (Cael's official conditions page and Guerin's €600–1,000 deposit range both matched exactly). Centauro remains unresolved for a third day: its 'V05may/2026' conditions PDF (confirmed to supersede 'V05JUL/2025') gives an economy-group (A/A1/B/D) deposit of €1,200 matching the site, but search-summarized figures for the higher vehicle groups were inconsistent across repeated queries (€1,900 / €2,000 / €2,300 / €2,600 all appeared), so the top of the currently published €1,200–1,900 range could not be confirmed or corrected without a direct PDF read.

    Direct WebFetch to all 8 vendor domains returned HTTP 403 again, so verification used web search against each vendor's own official pages. No discrepancies found for these 6 companies vs. the terms currently published on this site. Cael's site returned 403 on every page (including the T&C page) and search results carried no policy detail, so it could not be checked today. Centauro's official conditions PDF (a newer 'V05may/2026' version was found, superseding the 'V05JUL/2025' one on file) appears to state a wider deposit/excess range than the €1,200–1,900 currently published here, but repeated searches for the exact per-group breakdown returned inconsistent numbers (search summarization, not a direct read of the PDF), so this could not be confirmed reliably enough to publish a number change — worth a follow-up check with direct PDF access.

    Europcar Portugal: added previously undocumented rule from Europcar's official Portugal-specific 'Premium Pick up' terms and deposit policy pages — Special/Premium/Luxury categories (SIPP codes X/P/U/L/W) require 2 physical credit cards at pickup and carry a €1,000 (Special) or €3,000 (Premium/Luxury) deposit, reduced to €500/€1,000 with zero-excess cover but the two-card requirement stays. Updated locales/en.json + locales/cs.json (table.vendors.europcar) and content/companies.en.json + content/companies.cs.json (europcar depositDetail/watchOuts); added premiumTwoCards: true to data/vendors.json.
