Does sending a booking request require instant payment?

No, submitting a booking request does not require immediate payment, unless the owner has the “Instant Book” feature on the listing.

We have every step of the booking process listed here - How do I make a booking with Camplify?

The platform allows our hirers to submit Booking Requests which will be sent directly to the vehicle owner. Hirers will only be asked for payment details at this stage, if the listing has the “Instant Book” feature. On these cases the listings have a more comprehensive description and the calendars are always up to date

Within the initial booking request, we advise you to provide as much detail as possible about your trip and any queries you have in regards to the vehicle.

Many owners will have a set of questions that will help facilitate a quick booking process.

Once both parties have agreed and are happy to proceed ...
