Booking Airbnb Under 18

Airbnb should make changes so that no one under 18 can create an account.

Booking airbnb under 18. A few friends and i are planning on traveling for a few days as our exams recently finished and we thought about using airbnb to find a place to stay. If you try to get your parents to book it would be against policies for the airbnb account holder to not accompany you. As long as the primary renter meets the age specifications airbnb does not ask for the ages of anyone else who may be accompanying the guest on their stay.

If you don t verify id most hosts won t rent to you. If they are under 21 i tell them that they may not drink my alcohol. As we offer beer to our guests.

This means that someone who is under 18 cannot book a stay for themselves or be the sole guest. In order to rent an airbnb the primary renter or the individual who creates the airbnb profile must be at least 18 years old. If you re asked to take a photo of yourself it needs to match the photo on your id and your id must be valid.

They ve all been delightful. If they appear young i ask how old they are and explain why i m asking. All that said it would be best if you had someone 18 or older do the booking and be staying at the place and taking legal responsibility for the rental and also have all the under 18s have the permission of their parents to stay there and for the 18 year old to assume responsibility for them.

Booking an airbnb for when i turn 18. Airbnb says that no minors under 18 are allowed to create an account but obviously these accounts exist. If your photos don t match if you re under 18 or your id doesn t appear to be valid you won t be able to book a listing requiring an id.

I know that airbnb s tos says that you can t rent a space if you re under 18 but would it be okay if i booked a place for my 18th birthday since i would technically be 18 at the time that i m staying there. I have had several 18 19 and 20 year old guests. If you re under 18 all current reservations will also be canceled.
