On MyCamper, owners have the flexibility to determine the deposit amount themselves. This deposit serves as a security measure and is not necessarily required to match the deductible amount, but we recommend it, especially if you use your own comprehensive insurance. If a claim arises, the owner will retain the deposit until the claim gets approved. The deposit can be held for a maximum of 60 days (or until all insurance matters are clarified). The owner is obliged to send documentation on how much the repair costs are.
The deposit serves as a security for potential additional costs such as:
Cleaning fees
Mileage overages
Missing fuel or equipment
Penalties for late return or other contract violations
How Is the Deposit Handled?
The owner sets the deposit amount in their listing.
The deposit is reserved (not charged) on the renter’s credit or debit card shortly before the rental begins.
If no issues are reported after the rental, the reservation is released within 7 days.
If issues arise (e.g. cleaning, fuel, mileage), the relevant amount may be deducted from the deposit.
