How does the roadsurfer RV rental security deposit work?
The security deposit protects against possible damages or extra costs during your RV rental.
- The deposit is a temporarily blocked amount on your credit or debit card.
- It helps ensure that any damage or missing equipment is covered.
- The deposit is automatically released if the RV is returned in proper condition.
The deposit amount depends on your pickup location and is always paid in the local currency.
- USA: $850 (USD)
- Europe: 800€ (EUR)
- Switzerland: 800 CHF
- Sweden: 9,250 SEK
- Canada: $1,200 (CAD)
- Norway: 10,000 NOK
- UK: £700 (GBP)
You can pay the deposit by Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card when picking up your RV.
- We do not accept American Express, cash, bank transfer, or PayPal for deposits.
- The deposit must be paid in a single transaction, so make sure your card limit is high enough.
- Your passenger can pay the deposit if needed—the cardholder’s name does not have to match the renter.
The deposit is temporarily blocked for up to 30 days and released automatically if there are no issues.
- After your trip, the blocked amount is released if everything is in order.
- Some banks may simply remove the charge rather than showing a refund on your statement.
- You can check the status of your deposit in your roadsurfer customer account payment overview.
Make sure your card is ready for the deposit payment at pickup.
- Know your card PIN and check your card’s limit before arrival.
- Only Visa or Mastercard credit/debit cards are accepted for security deposits.
- No cash, bank transfer, PayPal, or American Express allowed for this payment.
