What do I need for a deposit and how much is it?

Do I need to fill the tank before I return my rental?
No. We will fill the tank upon return and charge you only for the gas you have used. There is no "gas-filling fee" as you may find with other rental agencies. We do charge $0.50 per gallon more than the pump price for filling the boat with gas, however having Minocqua Lakeside fill the tank is typically at least $0.50 per gallon cheaper then filling up on the water.
