When Can I Pay for an Airbnb Booking?
Airbnb requires full payment at the time of booking to confirm your reservation. In some cases, eligible guests may have the option to split the payment into multiple instalments. In all cases, the payment is handled by Airbnb.
- "Pay Now": The total amount is charged immediately upon booking.
- Instalment Payments: If available, the second payment is scheduled automatically for a later date.
How to check: The total cost and payment breakdown will be displayed at checkout before confirming your booking. You can also find these details in your Airbnb account under "Trips" or in your confirmation email.
What Payment Methods Can I Use?
Airbnb accepts various payment methods, including:
- Credit & Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- PayPal
- Apple Pay / Google Pay (depending on the country)
