Please keep in mind the following conditions
- Security deposit for the rented materials:

Fuel deposit
The fuel deposit is intended to cover costs for refilling the fuel tank at the end of the hire period. The charge is for the fuel itself and the service of filling the tank. The price is € 2.25 per litre (used). If you fill the tank yourself, you will be refunded the entire fuel deposit. This 'deposit' does not apply if you pay for fuel consumption separately.

Pay the deposit in cash at the watersports centre (at Resort Veluwemeer) or at the harbour office (at Resort Zuiderzee). You then get the cash deposit back at the end of the hire period. Allow for a maximum of 7 days for the deposit to be refunded if you have paid by card.
NOTE: You cannot pay the deposit by card at Resort Veluwemeer. Please pay in cash.
