One thing you can do is to write a limitation next to your signature,
corresponding to the amount of cash deposit which would be required
by the company, e.g. "NOT OVER $200", or whatever the rental agent
will accept. That might reduce your liability if something goes wrong
and the voucher is put through for a bundle of $$$.
