Instant booking vs booking requests
Understanding the difference between instant confirmation and provider-approved bookings.
Some providers offer instant booking while others review requests before confirming. Here's how each works.
Instant booking
Listings with the 'Instant Book' badge allow you to confirm and pay immediately. Your booking is confirmed the moment payment processes.
Booking requests
Some providers prefer to review bookings before accepting. You'll submit your vehicle details and dates, and the provider will respond within 24-48 hours.
You won't be charged until the provider accepts your request. Payment is only taken upon confirmation.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some providers use requests instead of instant booking?
Providers may want to verify vehicle types, ask questions, or check availability manually for unusual requests.
What happens if my request is declined?
You'll be notified immediately and can search for alternative spaces. No payment is taken.
