Jet-ski hire: separate the price from the card guarantee

PayLinker helps a jet-ski operator request the agreed hire payment and, when required, a separate card authorization as a security deposit before handing over the equipment.

Jet-ski hire: separate the price from the card guarantee

What this changes

The practical benefit for your work

  • A received hire payment helps prepare the outing.
  • A separate authorization makes the guarantee status visible without treating it as hire income.

Next step

Check the hire price and guarantee separately

  • Request payment for the agreed rental price.
  • Send a separate card authorization request if a security deposit is needed.
  • Check both statuses before handover; release or capture the authorization before expiry if needed.

Plan charges, SMS credits and payment processing costs are explained on the pricing page.

Examples for this activity

  • A customer pays the agreed outing price in advance.
  • The operator requests a separate card authorization under the agreed rental terms.

Payment steps

Create and send the hire payment request. Create and send a distinct security-deposit authorization request if needed. Check both statuses; release or capture all or part of the authorization only if needed before it expires.

A question before you start

Is the security deposit collected with the hire price?

No. The customer authorizes a card amount; it is captured only if necessary before expiry, or released.
