AirBnb will offer to spread the payments of a reservation

When we look at the weather through the window we often say to ourselves that we would like to go and see the country. So we check the status of his account and sometimes we realize that we barely have enough to pay for a train ticket:the holidays will be for next time! Otherwise, you can go on vacation at a “low price” with AirBnb, which offers private accommodation that is cheaper than a hotel room (except in exceptional cases), and which makes the vacation more authentic! But we must also admit that a week of AirBnb rental can end up being very expensive, and that the application until now asked us to pay in full before leaving for our dream destination. A payment that can be complicated, since we often find ourselves having to pay a few hundred euros all at once! So the firm decided to take a step forward towards its users by modifying its payment methods.

Facilitate payments

The latest AirBnb update brings the “Pay less before departure” feature, which is a strategy put in place to entice us to go on vacation with them. How? 'Or' What ? Instead of paying the full rent as before, you can now choose to pay half when booking and the rest when you arrive:a selling point appreciated by tight budgets, since 1/3 of us are obliged to uncovering to travel… This very practical new feature would be chosen by 40% of the users to whom it would have been offered. In addition to being able to spread out your payments, the previous update already offered to share the rent with your friends (so as not to be the only one to advance the money…). Good news that already makes you want to travel!
