However, after getting suspicious that one reservation request was from a group of young lads (from the text-type language used in their emails), I removed the 'if under 21' from the Age in my booking form and now ask for the age of each guest. No one has had...

$800 is very expensive (unless of course it was a very expensive property you were renting!).

Generally the security deposit is paid with the final balance, but some do ask for it on arrival. Not very professional though if they tell you one thing, then change it!

Hi Musetta,

In Florida the average seems to be a flat charge of £150-200 (or $ equivalent).
