What is a security deposit?

A security deposit is a sum that is reserved for the owner to compensate for any damages you may cause to his/her accommodation. Many owners are opening their very own homes to you, so it is important that they have some form of protection. Our website is one of very few that allows you not to have to make such a deposit in cash or by wiring funds.

When you reserve an accommodation, we will only ask you to authorize a debit for the amount of the security deposit. We will not actually debit your credit card. When you leave the premises in good condition, the authorization will be dropped.

The amount of the security deposit for which we require authorization is equal to four times the nightly rental price, with a minimum of 500€..

For more information about the terms on which a security deposit may be used, please see our Terms and Conditions.
