Once you've accepted a booking request, your vehicle is reserved for the Traveller's booked dates, and the Traveller has at least 48 hours from acceptance to complete the payment. The booking is confirmed as soon as payment has been made. If the Traveller doesn't pay within 48 hours, the booking is automatically cancelled, and you'll receive an email notification letting you know your trip has been cancelled.
Before accepting a new booking request, make sure you don't already have another booking waiting for payment for the same dates. You can check your confirmed bookings in your Host Area under "Confirmed."
Once a booking is confirmed, be sure to block those dates in your calendar. This helps you avoid receiving other requests for the same period and keeps your acceptance rate high.
