SECURITY DEPOSIT

Echuca Holiday Homes take a pre authorisation security deposit for every reservation and we process this prior to arrival.

Check in will not be granted until you have provided your credit card details and the pre authorisation has been successfully processed.

Pre-authorising a credit card puts a temporary hold on some of a customer’s funds. The hold lasts approximately five - ten days, The customer can’t withdraw the money from an ATM or spend the money elsewhere while the hold is in place. However, no money is actually debited from the account.

If we have no reason to charge against your pre authorisation, the pending transaction will disappear from your account. This normally occurs 7-10 days from the time the pre authorisation was processed, subject to who you bank with.

This Security Deposit/Bond payment may be used to cover incidental items such as (but not limited to): extra guests not included in the booking any breakages or damages incurred during the stay, odours caused by smoking, replacement keys, excess garbage, emergency call-out fees or cleaning charges in excess of the normal levels of cleaning.

Echuca Holiday Homes reserves the right to debit the Primary Guest card with any extra costs above the property pre-authorisation limit, if the damage or costs exceed the pre-authorisation amount.

Any security bond claim will also be subject to a $55 administration charge to the Primary Guest card.
