What is Instant Booking?

Listings with instant booking do not require approval from the host before they can be booked. Guests can directly make a booking without needing to make a booking request first. 

For hosts

If you have instant booking activated, it will apply to all available dates on your calendar. Please update your calendar regularly to maximise your bookings and earnings.

We highly recommend our hosts to activate instant booking on their listings for the below benefits: 

  1. Faster bookings: You will receive bookings without having to accept requests first.

  2. Higher earnings: You will make more income with your car by activating instant booking, Guests prefer listings they can instant book as this allows them to make confirmed plans.

  3. Filtered search: Guests can filter their search to only see listings with instant booking activated.

  4. Search placement: Listings with instant booking activated are prioritised on search placement.
