What are the payment options for monthly stays?​

Planning to stay awhile? That’s great.

Here's how payments work for reservations of 28 nights or more:

  • First-month payment: You'll be charged this up front, but we’ll hold off on releasing it to the Host until 24 hours after check-in.
  • Monthly installments: We'll charge your second payment to the same payment method approximately 1 month after check-in, and each month thereafter for the duration of your reservation.

Your monthly price is locked in at the beginning of the reservation, and you can track your payment details in your Trips tab or your booking confirmation email.

New way to pay for monthly stays

We’re introducing a new way to pay for monthly stays for travelers based in the US. Now you can save when you pay with your bank account for eligible reservations of 28 nights or more.

Cancellation

The long-term cancellation policy is automatically applied to all reservations of 28 nights or more and generally requires a 30-day notice of changes to the reservation.

Making early payments for monthly instalments

While it’s not required, you always have the option to pay upcoming monthly instalments a little early, as long as it’s within 7 days before your payment is due.

To find out when a payment is due:

  • Go to Trips and select the reservation you want
  • Click Show details
  • Under Reservation details, click Get receipts and manage payments
  • Go to Scheduled Payments and find the payment date
