ResortQuest Lido Key Reservation Terms
PAYMENT AT TIME OF BOOKING (DEPOSITS): All reservations require a deposit at time of booking paid by credit card or check. ResortQuest accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express (Discover accepted only in certain locations). In cases of payment by check, all funds shall be made payable to ResortQuest with a notation of your folio number written on your check. Receipt of your deposit indicates acceptance of this reservation confirmation agreement and all of the terms and conditions contained herein. Deposit amounts will vary depending on type of property and length of stay.
RESERVATION FEE: In addition to the rental rate, a 5% non-refundable reservation fee per transaction is calculated on the rental rate (does not include Security Deposit Protection Plan or taxes). This 5% fee is charged for each separate stay, even if multiple stays booked. There is a minimum of $20 and maximum of $125 plus tax. The reservation fee is a flat $75 plus applicable tax for stays of 27 nights or longer (Exception all Sanibel and Captiva properties require a $50 flat reservation fee + applicable tax).
SECURITY DEPOSIT PROTECTION PLAN: A Security Deposit is required in addition to the rental rate and reservation fee. You will have an option of either paying a refundable security deposit (amount varies depending on property but will be no less than $250.00) or a non-refundable insurance premium of TravelGuard’s Security Deposit Protection Plan. This Security Deposit Protection plan is $25.00 for each stay of two-six (2-6) days and $45 for each stay of seven (7) days or longer. This Security Deposit Protection Plan Insurance covers up to $500.00 for the $25.00 premium and $1500.00 for the $45.00 premium. The renter shall be responsible for damages over and above the cost of the coverage.
PAYMENT OF FINAL BALANCE: Final payment is due thirty (30) days prior to arrival for condominiums and villas, sixty (60) days prior to arrival for free standing homes, or day of arrival for resorts (depending on length of stay). If reservation is made within thirty (30) days prior to arrival for condominiums and villas, within sixty (60) days prior to arrival for homes, or upon arrival for resorts, 100% of payment (including booking fee, applicable Security Deposit option, applicable cleaning fee and taxes) is due at time of booking. Final payment is nonrefundable unless stay is rebooked (incurring 10% loss of rent rebooking fee plus reservation fee). Failure to make any payment in a timely manner may result in the cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of any funds on deposit. Refunds or adjustments cannot be made for late arrival or early departure. Final payment includes The Security Deposit or Security Deposit Protection Plan (if applicable). In cases of payment by check, all funds shall be made payable to ResortQuest with a notation of your folio number written on your check.
CANCELLATIONS: Cancellation at any time will always result in a loss of the 5% reservation fee, if applicable. Cancellation before final payment will result in a loss of 10% of the total deposit, plus the 5% reservation fee. The Security Deposit or Security Deposit Protection Plan is refundable along with a portion of rent depending on date of cancellation if cancelled prior to final payment requirement. Travel Insurance is encouraged to avoid this loss in the event of early cancellation. Cancellation after final payment will result in a loss of 100% of the entire rent for the stay, plus 5% reservations fee, and cleaning fee. Travel Insurance is encouraged to avoid this 100% loss. Travel Insurance is included in your total and protects you from forfeiting your monies paid should you have to cancel your reservation within applicable time period (30 days condos and villas, 60 days for home) of your arrival date. Should you choose not to be covered, please decline travel insurance at time of booking. Once purchased, Travel Insurance premium will NOT be refunded.
