ADSENSE CODE #3
Is it normal for companies who rent holiday villas to charge a ’safety deposit’ to young people?
I’m going away with a group of friends in the summer and we’re renting a big villa (11 people) in spain. Because we’re 18-25 the company are asking for a ’safety deposit’ of nearly 50% of the fee we’re already paying for accomodation. Apparently if nothing is damaged this is returned 4 weeks (!) after we return.
Is this a normal policy for companies like this or somethin to talk to a travel agent about?
Having established that this is normal, would every person be expected to lose the entire deposit if say one thing was broken by one person?
Yes, this is normal. Your age group is expected to party madly so they are just covering any possible serious damage.
If one little thing gets broken and the cost of replacing it is a fraction of the deposit, why not arrange with the landlord that you pay for the replacement before you go, so that it doesn’t come out of the deposit? Then whoever broke it would have to pay for it. Get everyone in your group to agree to this.
