mbstone Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I wish PL would standardize the amount and type of payment required for room and car security deposits. I won a great hotel, but I had to pay $300 deposit at check-in. PL never told me. Thank goodness I had the $300.As to cars, PL has standardized at $200 credit or debit card deposit, with debit cards some RACs take some types of debit cards and reject others. Hertz welcomes my PayPal Business Debit card while Avis won't take it. Alamo requires proof of a round trip plane ticket before they will take your debit card, which is a sort of IQ test to see if you know how to purchase a refundable plane ticket.Excessive deposits will kill you dead if you're on the road for more than a couple of days, and it's always a hassle trying to get CC/DC holds removed so you can go to the next town....
AaronJB Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I would maybe write PRICELINE regarding the $300 deposit and see what they say, as it definitely seems unusual.
