Guest no-shows are draining your rental income because pay on arrival policies give you zero payment security. The booking looks confirmed, but when guests don’t show up, you can’t charge the card on file.
This episode breaks down why this happens and how switching to pre-payment eliminates the problem before it costs you another dollar.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Pay on arrival bookings aren’t actually guaranteed, you can’t access guest payment details when no-shows occur
✅ New hosts face the biggest risk due to platform verification delays and restricted account settings
✅ Pre-payment policies eliminate no-show losses by collecting payment 30+ days before guest arrival
✅ The conversion trade-off is real, but most hosts earn more by protecting revenue than chasing volume
