    {
      "question": "Can I rent a car in Greece without a deposit?",
      "answer": "Yes, selected offers can have a zero security deposit. Use the no-deposit filter and check the exact car terms; deposit, excess and booking advance are separate conditions.",

    {
      "question": "Can I rent a car in Greece without a credit card?",
      "answer": "Yes, selected offers accept other payment methods. Check the exact payment-card rule for booking, pickup balance and any deposit because these can differ.",

    },
    {
      "question": "Can I pay for a rental car in Greece with a debit card?",
      "answer": "Some suppliers accept debit cards for the rental balance and sometimes for the deposit. The accepted card type, cardholder and deposit rules are offer-specific.",

      "question": "Can I pay cash for a rental car in Greece?",

    },
    {

    },
    {
      "question": "Can I rent a 9-seater van in Greece?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Can I rent a car in Greece for a month?",
      "answer": "Longer rentals are available, but mileage, servicing, extensions, deposit and total pricing should be checked carefully because weekly or monthly pricing does not always scale linearly.",

    },
    {
      "question": "Do I need an SUV for Crete?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Are tolls included in a Greece car rental?",
