How to Enable Instant Booking for Host

Instant booking allows guests to reserve your listing immediately without waiting for your approval. This helps you get bookings faster, increases your earnings, and improves your visibility in search results.

With instant booking, you’ll avoid expired or declined requests, which can hurt your listing’s ranking. Many guests filter their search to only show cars with instant booking enabled, so your listing has a better chance of being selected.

Note: Instant booking does not allow pick-up or drop-off between 11:30 PM and 7:00 AM. This ensures you aren’t disturbed overnight.

Managing your calendar is key. Pre-block dates when your car is unavailable to avoid cancelations.

Why Enable Instant Booking?

✅ Faster bookings – No need to manually accept each request.

✅ More income – Guests prefer listings they can book instantly.
