How payments work at Kustlicht

Kustlicht uses a clear, guest-friendly payment schedule and one secure payment method.

Accepted payment method (and what’s not accepted)

• Payments are made by bank transfer to Kustlicht’s Rabobank account.
• Credit cards are not accepted.

Official beneficiary details:

• Account name: Kustlicht Zeeland Vakanties
• Rabobank IBAN: NL63 RABO 0375 5531 42
• BIC/Swift: RABONL2U

You’ll also find these details on your booking confirmation.

Payment timeline at a glance

• At booking: 50% pre-payment of the total booking amount.
• No later than 4 weeks before arrival: Remaining 50% + security deposit must be received by Kustlicht.
• Last-minute bookings: Full amount is payable immediately.

Security deposit

• Standard deposit: € 100 per booking (a different amount applies only to Branding 26).
• Refund timing: The deposit is transferred back within 2 weeks (see rental conditions).
• If damages exceed the deposit: You’ll be asked to pay the additional amount to cover full costs.

Cancellations and your deposit

• If you cancel, no refund of the rental amount is given in line with the rental conditions.
• If you’ve already paid the full amount, Kustlicht refunds the security deposit, tourist tax, and any additional costs after your cancellation and provides a written cancellation confirmation you can forward to your insurer.

Note: The rental price includes energy, final cleaning, and administration costs. Additional charges include the tourist tax (€ 2.42 per person per night) and the € 100 deposit (different amount only for Branding 26). Optional extras (e.g., bed linen, towels, kitchen packages, pet stay, Bollercar, cot/high chair/playpen) can be added to your booking.

Step-by-step: How to make a bank transfer correctly

Follow this simple process to ensure your transfer is processed without delays.

1. Open your banking app or online banking. Choose a standard bank transfer.
2. Enter the beneficiary details exactly as shown:
   • Account name: Kustlicht Zeeland Vakanties
   • IBAN: NL63 RABO 0375 5531 42
   • BIC/Swift: RABONL2U (use when your bank requests it, typically outside SEPA)
3. Enter the correct amount. Use your booking confirmation for the exact payment due.
4. Add a clear payment reference. Include your booking number and lead guest name to help match your payment quickly.
5. Choose the currency. If you’re outside the eurozone, most banks let you send EUR so the full amount reaches Kustlicht.
6. Schedule with time to spare. Bank transfers can take time—especially cross-border—so initiate your payment well before the due date.
7. Save proof of payment. Keep the confirmation or PDF receipt from your bank until your booking shows as paid.

International transfers made easy (SEPA and beyond)

If you’re paying from another country, a few best practices help your transfer arrive accurately and on time.

• Use IBAN/BIC for accuracy. IBAN ensures the right account, BIC identifies the bank—both reduce manual errors.
• Within the EU/EEA, use SEPA transfers. SEPA payments are designed for euro transfers in Europe and are typically faster and simpler than international wires.
• Send in EUR. Paying in euros avoids extra conversion at the destination and helps the full amount arrive.
• Watch for intermediary bank fees. If your bank offers fee options, choose one that ensures the full amount arrives in EUR.
• Public holidays and weekends add delays. Plan a buffer of a few working days before your deadline.
• Double-check beneficiary details. Always rely on the exact IBAN/BIC from your booking confirmation or the official Kustlicht contact information. If in doubt, call or email reception to verify.

Security best practices

Kustlicht emphasizes secure booking and a straightforward bank transfer process. Add the following habits for extra peace of mind:

• Verify the beneficiary name and IBAN/BIC before every transfer. Small typos can misroute funds.
• Do not pay by credit card. Kustlicht does not accept credit cards for booking payments.
• Never send money to third-party accounts. Only pay the official Rabobank IBAN for Kustlicht Zeeland Vakanties.
• Confirm any unexpected changes. If you ever receive altered payment instructions, contact reception by phone or official email to confirm authenticity.
• Keep your proof of payment. It’s useful for tracing and reconciliation.
