Security Deposit Information

Wilderness World pre-authorizes your credit card for a security deposit on each rental item per reservation. This reduces your liability for unintentional damage to a rental item. 

Security deposit refunds are processed when you return your rental gear undamaged.

If the rental item comes back damaged, your deductible will go toward the total cost of the replacement value or of the repair cost of the item – whichever is less.

Renters are responsible for 100% of the replacement cost for lost or stolen items, or for items that are more than 14 days past the return date (plus additional day fees). 

What is covered and what is not:

  • Unintentional damage to the rental item due to accidents during proper use of the gear – drops, falls, accidents, etc is covered.

  • Only the main items are covered (see below), not accessories – loss or damage of accessories (batteries, chargers, cords) are still 100% the responsibility of the customer.

  • Lost or stolen items are not covered- you are still 100% responsible for lost or stolen items.  Only damaged items that are returned are covered.

  • Damage caused by improper use – for example, water damage to SAT Phone.

    Our goal is to provide you with high-quality outdoor recreational gear so you don't have to spend big money for one-time use. Please help us keep these items circulating to others by taking care of them.
