Making changes to a booking as a guest
Change requests allow hosts and guests to update booking details like trip dates, delivery, and add-ons, with approval required from the other party. Guests can modify some details without approval before confirmation. After the trip starts, changes are limited. Change requests are submitted via the booking page and must be accepted to take effect. Clear communication and quick responses ensure smooth updates.
Sometimes plans change after a booking is confirmed. Change requests make it easy for you and your host to adjust trip details while keeping the booking accurate. Understanding how change requests work and what can be updated helps ensure the process is smooth for both sides.
How booking change requests work
A change request is a formal update to an existing booking. Either the host or the guest can initiate a change request, but the other party must approve it for the changes to take effect.
Once a change request is submitted:
- The other party receives a notification
- Both parties review the updated trip details
- The request must be accepted before the booking updates
If a change doesn’t work for you, you can decline the request and the original booking details remain in place.
Possible changes and when they can be made
Changes depend on the type of update and the timing of the trip. Below is a clear breakdown of what can be modified and when each change is allowed.
Trip dates
Before the booking is confirmed:
- Guests can modify their trip dates without host approval
- Hosts can modify the trip dates and customize the rental amount by sending a special offer
When the booking is confirmed:
- Guests and hosts can request to modify the trip dates
After the trip has started:
- Guests and hosts can request to extend or shorten the trip, but the start date cannot be changed
Delivery
Before the booking is confirmed:
- Guests can update the delivery address without host approval, if it's within the host's delivery zone
- Guests can add or remove delivery without host approval
- Hosts can add or remove delivery and customize pricing by sending a special offer, but can't modify the delivery address
When the booking is confirmed:
- Guests can update the delivery address if it's within the host's delivery zone
- Guests can request to add or remove delivery, but hosts cannot
After the trip has started:
- Delivery selection, pricing and location cannot be modified
Add-ons
Before the booking is confirmed:
- Guests can select or remove add-ons without host approval
- Hosts can select or remove add-ons and customize pricing by sending a special offer
- Once an add-on is included through a special offer, it can no longer be modified or removed
When the booking is confirmed:
- Guests and hosts can request to select or remove add-ons, as long as a special offer wasn't previously sent
After the trip has started:
- Add-ons cannot be modified
Protection plan
As a guest, you can change your protection plan selection at any time up until the start of your trip. Once the trip has started, you can no longer change your protection plan. Hosts cannot change the protection plan on your behalf.
How to submit a change request
You can submit a change request through the booking details page:
- Access the booking in your Bookings tab or from your inbox.
- Scroll down to Manage booking.
- Click on Edit booking to change your trip dates, add-ons, and delivery selection. Click on Edit trip protection to change your protection plan.
- Make the desired changes.
- Review the updated pricing.
- Submit the change request.
For any changes taking place after the booking is confirmed, the host must accept the change before it takes effect. Changes to trip protection do not require host approval.
Responding to a change request
When you receive a change request:
- Click on the notification in your dashboard or in the booking details
- Review the updated trip details
- Select Accept or Decline
If you decline, the booking stays exactly as it was. You'll be prompted to write a short message to the host explaining why you're unable to accept.

Receiving a refund for a host cancellation
If a host cancels your booking, you receive a full refund with no penalties. Refund options include the original payment method (5-7 business days) or an immediate RVezy credit plus 10% bonus. If no choice is made in 48 hours, refund defaults to the original payment. RVezy cannot compensate for extra expenses but offers support to find alternative rentals.
If a host cancels your booking, you're entitled to a full refund. This article explains what gets refunded, how the refund is issued, and when you can expect to receive it.
What happens when a host cancels
If a host cancels your booking for any reason, you'll receive a notification alerting you of the cancellation. The status of the booking will also update in your account to reflect the cancellation.
You're entitled to a full refund of all amounts paid, including:
- Rental amount
- Add-ons
- Delivery fee
- Preparation fee
- Protection plan
- RVezy service fee and taxes
No penalties apply to you when a host cancels.
Selecting a refund method
After a host cancellation occurs, you'll be given two options to receive your refund:
- Original payment method: receive a full refund to your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days.
- RVezy credit: get a credit on your account for the value of your booking, plus an additional 10% bonus, immediately available for your next rental.
You can review the refund methods and make your selection from the booking details page:
If no selection has been made after 48 hours, a full refund to your original payment method will be processed automatically.
Compensation for other expenses
RVezy can only refund what was paid through our platform and cannot provide compensation for expenses incurred as a result of the host cancellation, such as alternative accommodations or travel rearrangements.

What to do if you accidentally made a booking or booked the wrong dates
If you made a mistake booking an RV, you can withdraw unconfirmed bookings or cancel confirmed ones within the 24-hour grace period for a full refund. To change dates, send a request to your host, who may approve or suggest alternatives. If cancellation policies limit refunds, contact the host directly for possible flexibility. Refunds outside policy are at the host’s discretion.
If you made a mistake when you booked an RV, there are steps you can take to address it.
Check your booking status
To confirm the status of your booking, head to your inbox or to the Trips section of your account.
If your booking hasn't been confirmed yet, you can simply withdraw the booking request. If a payment has been made and your booking is confirmed, review the cancellation policy:
- Access your booking and scroll down to Manage booking.
- Click on Cancel booking.
- Review the policy and refund amount. .Do not click Cancel again unless you're ready to do so.
If you're within the 24-hour grace period, no problem. You can cancel your booking and receive a full refund.
Request a change to your booking
If you want to keep your booking but need different dates, you can send a change request to your host. The host decides whether to approve the change. If the dates you need aren't available, try messaging your host; they may be able to adjust their calendar or suggest alternatives.
Reach out to your host directly
In situations where you’re not eligible to cancel for a full refund, communicating directly with the host can often help. Explain the situation and ask if they can offer flexibility. Many hosts are understanding and may help with a refund or date change, especially if you reach out quickly.
Keep in mind that a refund outside of the cancellation policy for the booking is always at the discretion of the host.
