What is the Vroom8 Security Deposit?
The Security Deposit is a temporary hold on your card before your rental begins. It’s not an actual charge — just a precaution in case of damages or extra costs.
If everything goes smoothly, the hold is released shortly after your rental ends.
Security Deposit Hold
Before Your Trip:
A security deposit hold (not a charge) is placed on your card 24 hours before your booking starts. The amount depends on the vehicle type:
- ATV: $500
- UTV: $1000
- Motorcycles / Other Vehicles: $250
After Your Trip:
If no claims are filed, the hold is automatically released 48 hours after your rental ends.
Collected Only If Necessary
The deposit is only collected if the owner files a claim for:
- Damages
- Incidental costs
If a Claim Is Filed
- The deposit will remain on hold until the claim is resolved.
- Vroom8 reviews all claims to make sure they’re valid and fair.
- If the claim is approved, a 3.95% payment processing fee applies to the withheld amount.
Risk Prevention Tips
- Drive safely and responsibly
- Avoid sharp turns
- Stay on marked trails whenever possible
- Follow all check-in and check-out steps with the owner
- Take photos and verify the condition of the vehicle together
This helps ensure a smooth and fair rental experience for everyone!
