A fixed amount can be clear for similar items. A percentage of the rental price scales with bookings. A percentage of replacement value better reflects mixed or high-value equipment. Whichever method you use, disclose the amount, what it covers, how evidence is handled and when the hold or payment is released.
A card authorization reserves available funds; it is different from a completed charge. Provider and card-network deadlines still apply.
