Aside from the driver verification process, which is generally completed after the booking is confirmed, social media is a good way to get a feel for the guest. Ask if they’d like to share their profiles, and chat with them about their plans and experience so you can gauge how good of a fit they are for your RV.
Outdoorsy is committed to creating a safe environment for its hosts and guests, so we encourage members to follow their instincts and use the same level of caution they would when buying/selling on any marketplace (e.g. Craigslist, eBay, etc.).
Please note that for platform security purposes, the Guest's phone number and email address will not be visible to you until after the booking grace period for cancellations has expired, which is generally 24 hours post-confirmation. If the booking was requested less than a week out, the cancellation grace period is one hour. Please note that there is no grace period for cancellation on same-day booking requests. Hosts can always message Guests and potential Guests via the Outdoorsy messaging platform.
