Request a booking or use Instant Book
Instant-booking and owner-approval listings have different confirmation steps. Follow the current booking status and any response deadline shown. Do not assume that a request or payment attempt has confirmed the booking.
Who and before: An eligible renter with a current quote; sign-in/email/identity/licence requirements depend on the current rental flow.
Start: The listing booking dialog after selecting valid dates.
Steps:
1. Review the quote, saved rules, cancellation terms and any agreement/eligibility prompts.
2. Choose Request Booking for an approval-based listing, or Proceed to Payment when Instant Book/payment is offered.
3. Follow sign-in/verification prompts without starting a second request.
4. Open My Activity > My Bookings > View Details and read the status. Pay through the booking's own payment action once available.
Result and check: The booking has a record with the correct dates and a clearly stated request/payment status.
Limits and recovery: Requested, approved, paid/authorized, active and completed are different states. Approval is not payment and a quote is not reserved inventory. If availability changed, select a valid alternative rather than retrying stale terms. If a response is uncertain, inspect My Bookings before submitting again.
