Some gas stations may add an extra amount to cover which is usually around $50 to $150. If you want to avoid such situations, it would be better for you to pay at the register than paying at the pump.

To allow for incidental charges, these merchants would normally place a hold more than the actual charge and it can take up to 60 days after your rental or your stay for the excess amounts they held to be added back to your available balance.
