    Cancel a trip request

    Change your mind? Here are a few things to know.

    Understand when you can cancel

    First, check the status of your request. If the Host has already accepted it, then it’s subject to their cancellation policy. If it’s still pending, you can cancel, and you won’t be charged for the reservation or the service fees.

    How to cancel a pending trip request

    The simplest way is to find the message thread with your Host in your Inbox and select Withdraw request. Otherwise:

    1. Go to Trips and click Show more trip plans
    2. For a reservation that says Pending Host approval, click Cancel reservation
    3. Click Cancel request

    Note: Some reservations may generate additional charges or temporary authorizations. Find out more about when and how you’re charged for a reservation.
