BOOKING JOURNEY

Keep each trip organised from the start.

01

Traveller explores a listing

The planned listing would show facilities, suitable dates, pickup details and rental conditions. Travellers could review the full proposed price and relevant requirements before requesting a trip.

02

Owner reviews the request

Owners could check dates, trip information and the vehicle’s readiness before accepting or declining. Request-based booking is a proposed workflow; instant booking and response deadlines are not confirmed.

03

Required steps are completed

The planned workflow would distinguish an enquiry, a pending request and a confirmed booking. Payment, relevant eligibility checks and applicable coverage confirmation would need clear completion rules.

04

Both sides prepare for collection

A trip record could hold agreed pickup details, the equipment list and support contacts. A condition checklist would help both sides record fuel, mileage and visible damage at handover.

05

The vehicle is returned and the trip closes

Owners and travellers would compare the return condition with the handover record, document any differences and follow the agreed process for adjustments before closing the trip.

PAYMENTS & RECORDS

Make the total and its status easy to follow.

AreaProposed owner experience
Price breakdownA future checkout would show rental charges, selected extras, applicable platform charges and any other confirmed amounts before payment. Final fee schedules remain unconfirmed.
Payment statusOwners could see whether a payment is awaiting action, confirmed, refunded or unsuccessful. These states would reflect payment-provider confirmations rather than an owner marking a payment as received.
DepositsIf a security deposit is introduced, the amount, collection method, release conditions and dispute process would need to be stated separately. Deposit handling is not available now.
Owner payoutsThe planned dashboard could separate expected earnings from payouts actually processed. Settlement timing, provider arrangements and deductions would need to be agreed before launch.
Refunds & adjustmentsAn adjustment should identify the booking, the reason, the amount and its status. A refund request and a completed refund should appear as different states.
Receipts & reconciliationFuture transaction records could help owners match bookings, deductions and payouts. The format and availability of downloadable statements remain to be determined.

NomadStay does not currently take booking payments, hold deposits, issue refunds or pay rental earnings. Payment providers, settlement schedules and transaction fees have not been announced.

CHANGES & ISSUES

A shared record when plans change.

Date changes & extensions

The planned tools would check availability and any price difference before both parties confirm a change. An extension would also need any relevant coverage and operational checks; it should not be assumed from a message alone.

Cancellations

Travellers and owners should see the applicable cancellation terms before booking. The future workflow would record who cancelled, when and how the agreed terms affect any refund. No cancellation policy is established by this guide.

Damage or missing items

A proposed issue record could combine time-stamped handover photos, return photos, inventory and comments from each party. Evidence would support a review; an allegation should not automatically trigger a deduction.

Support & breakdowns

The trip record could provide the agreed operator, assistance-provider and insurance contacts. Support hours, roadside arrangements and replacement-vehicle options have not been confirmed, so this page makes no service promise.

TRAVELLER FEEDBACK

Useful experiences, grounded in a completed trip.

Trip-linked reviews

The proposed review system would connect feedback to a completed booking, helping travellers distinguish a real rental experience from a general comment. Public ratings are not currently collected.

Specific areas of feedback

Travellers could describe listing accuracy, cleanliness, communication, handover and the usability of onboard facilities. Separating these topics could make reviews more useful than a single unexplained score.

Owner replies

Owners could add a factual, courteous response, explain an improvement or correct a misunderstanding without disclosing personal trip information. Replies should help future travellers understand the experience.

Fair moderation

A future moderation policy would define how to report abusive content, private information, conflicts of interest or unrelated reviews. Critical feedback should not be removed simply because it is unfavourable; publication rules remain to be agreed.

HOSTING CHECKLIST

Prepare a consistent handover experience.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Before the booking tools launch.

Can travellers book or pay now?

Customers can search and view host-published listings now. Live booking availability and payment checkout are not available; the booking and payment workflows described here remain proposed.

When would an owner receive payment?

A payout schedule has not been established. It would need to state when funds become payable, what deductions apply and how refunds or unresolved issues affect settlement.

Are my proposed prices binding when I register?

The current registration asks for an indicative nightly rate for discussion. It does not create a live offer, a booking agreement or a payment obligation.

Does a good review replace vehicle verification?

No. Traveller feedback describes an experience. It would not replace vehicle checks, maintenance, eligibility review or confirmed insurance arrangements.
