How do I pay for a booking?
Initial payment, balance payment and checking confirmation.
YourCamper payments use Stripe
Renters pay on Stripe Checkout. Owners connect a Stripe Connect account for payouts.
Payments are active and use real money.
Read the payment guide →For a request-based booking, wait for owner approval. Instant booking lets you proceed without a separate owner response. Open your request or booking and choose the payment action.
For requests made 60 days or less before pickup, owner approval gives you 24 hours to pay and dates are reserved after payment. For earlier reservations, dates are reserved on confirmation; payment opens 60 days before pickup with a 24-hour deadline.
Check the amount and terms, then complete payment on Stripe’s page. Your bank may require additional authentication. After returning, check the payment status under My bookings.
- More than 60 days ahead, reserve free. Owner approval reserves the dates; instant bookings are confirmed automatically. The 25% payment opens 60 days before the original pickup time and must be paid within 24 hours. The remaining 75% is due 30 days before pickup. At 31–60 days, pay 25% initially; at 30 days or less, pay in full.
- You can reserve months ahead because no money is collected before the 60-day boundary. If the first payment remains unpaid after 24 hours, the reservation is cancelled and the dates released. No unpaid debt is created. Cancellation is free before the first payment; after payment, the booking’s saved cancellation terms apply.
- With exactly 30 days or less remaining, you pay 100% immediately.
- Early reservations are confirmed before payment. The full required amount must be paid before pickup. The deposit is shown separately.
