Peace of mind with Automated Security Deposit collection for Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings


Why collect security deposits?


Our thoughts on the benefits of security deposits


Peace of mind. Here are a few benefits:


  1. 🛡Protection against damage and misuse.
  2. 🙋‍♀️Guests feel more responsible. Honest guests aren't discouraged with a reasonable security deposit. It also deters unsuitable guests.
  3. 🏃‍♀️Fastest way to collect funds to pay for repairs before your next guest arrives. Insurance may pay out but can take weeks or months.
  4. 🤖Automated collection. With Uplisting's Automated Security Deposit collection for Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings (via your Uplisting website) you only get involved if a guest doesn't provide valid payment.
