Quick answer

Price for the item’s value and local demand, then block every period when you cannot fulfill a rental.

Use the pricing units supported by your listing and make sure the renter can understand the cost for a typical project.

Consider the item’s condition, replacement value, maintenance, and local alternatives.
Use longer-duration pricing when it provides a meaningful renter discount.
Review the renter-facing total after fees rather than evaluating only your base rate.

1
Choose your availability mode
Use broad availability with blackout dates or select only the dates renters may request.
2
Protect existing commitments
Confirmed booking periods remain locked and cannot be made available.
3
Update changes promptly
Block maintenance, personal use, and any period when handoff is not possible.

Owners have 24 hours to approve or decline a booking request. Check the dates and handoff details before approving.

An accurate calendar protects renters from disrupted plans and helps preserve confidence in your listing.
