# Can I book a van for today?

You can't select today's date when you request a booking on Camplify. The earliest start date you can choose is tomorrow. If you need a van today and the owner agrees to a same day start, our Customer Service team can move the start date for you while your booking is still pending.

1. **Find your van.** Search on Camplify as usual and choose the van you'd like.
2. **Send a booking request.** Choose tomorrow as your start date, add the end date you want, and submit your request.
3. **Get the owner's agreement.** Use Camplify messages to ask the owner if they can start your hire today. We can only change the start date if the owner agrees, so please wait for their reply and agree a pickup time with them.
4. **Call us straight away.** Once the owner has agreed, ring [0330 808 1811](tel:03308081811) with your Booking ID and the pickup time you've agreed.
5. **We'll change the dates.** While your booking is still pending, we'll move the start date to today. Your total may change to reflect the extra day.
6. **The owner approves your request.** The owner still needs to approve the booking. We'll let them know it's urgent.
7. **Pay to secure your booking.** Once the owner approves, you'll need to pay straight away. Your booking isn't confirmed until payment is complete.

**Good to know**

- **It's not guaranteed.** A same day booking is only possible if the owner agrees and can hand the van over at short notice.
- **Call us while your booking is pending.** Once a booking is approved, we may not be able to change the start date, so contact the owner and call us as soon as you've sent your request.
- **Allow time for the handover.** The owner may need a few hours to get the van ready, so please be flexible on pickup time.
- **Have a backup ready.** It's worth looking at one or two other vans in case the owner can't do a same day start.
- **Planning ahead helps.** Requests sent two or more days before pickup are much more likely to be approved.

**Need help?**  
For same day bookings, call us on [0330 808 1811](tel:03308081811). Email isn't quick enough for urgent requests.
