How to manage the deposit and damages?

For the security deposit, we recommend **Cautiz** (cautiz.com), the deposit service from the company behind CasaGiga. Your guest registers their card via a link: it's a **card imprint**, nothing is charged. You set the amount freely, and if damage is found, you request a charge with your photos and an invoice or quote: the money is transferred to you straight away. No more cheques to cash or bank transfers to refund. If your property is in France, you activate it directly in the **Security deposit** block of your listing: one checkbox, and that's it. Ten days before each arrival, Cautiz automatically sends the link to your guest, for bookings made after activation. **CasaGiga never collects the deposit**: it stays between you and the guest, via the tool you choose. On the insurance side, let's be clear: **CasaGiga does not yet include dedicated damage coverage**. This is planned as the platform grows. In the meantime, your protection rests on two elements: the deposit, and your **house rules**, which the guest accepts at booking — giving them contractual weight. That's one more reason to fill them in carefully in your listing.
