According to iGMS, a leading vacation rental software, 59% of Airbnb listings have a security deposit. We suggest you identify a dozen of the most comparable listings in your market and note the security deposit levels they set. Start with at most the median rate. Keep your security deposit at no more than 25% of your average total booking. For example, if the average booking for our listing is 3 evenings at $150, then 25% of $450 is $112.50. For most listings, the ideal level is generally between $100 to $600 per booking, where the $600 levels are typically reserved for listings with average bookings well over $2,000. [2023] - Symon He
