AirBnB my Van?
Hello,
I am curious, do any of you rent a vehicle through AirBnB? That is, for someone to actually sleep in it and not drive it.
Is this possible?
Or are there other forms or ways I can rent it without using AirBnB?

If the van is actually a motorhome, there are ways to rent that out. I imagine AirBnB has some minimum standards, such as running water and a toilet.

I've seen people rent tents in their backyards on AirBnb.

I think that I read that someone in New York or one of the boroughs was doing that.

I've seen airbnb listings for a renovated streamliner on an empty lot in Malibu.

what does your auto-insurer think of the idea? if there's an incident of some kind, will your liability coverage cover it?emanuel_v19 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:14 pm Hello,

The van will be parked in the driveway.F150HD wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 7:19 pmwhat does your auto-insurer think of the idea? if there's an incident of some kind, will your liability coverage cover it?emanuel_v19 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:14 pm Hello,

Re: AirBnB my Van?
I think I saw an article about this with photos, but I think the van was not driveable. Pretty though. Flowers planted outside, etc.
Re: AirBnB my Van?
um.....did you assume I thought you were renting a moving vehicle?
Again....what does your auto-insurer think of the idea?

It's hard to accept the truth when the lies were exactly what you wanted to hear. Investing is simple, but not easy. Buy, hold & rebalance low cost index funds & manage taxable events. Asking Portfolio Questions |

I've never used this service, but Turo seems like a better fit for this than AirBnB.
Re: AirBnB my Van?
So it will be parked. But could there be another option if the weather is really nice?

Re: AirBnB my Van?
Pardon my snobbishness, but I’m not sure I’d want to rent out my van as accommodations to any stranger actually willing to accept the offer. Unless it’s more like a motor home with a bathroom, etc.

Catering to low-end people you would otherwise try to avoid? Or the Boglehead who sticks his wet laundry in a stranger's dryer to save $1.25?

Sounds like a good idea to me. In HCOL+ areas (Palo Alto) I've seen people AirBNB a tent in their backyard.

It is good, but not that many giggles.

I'd go with the Airbnb strict cancellation policy.

still curious where they'd be going to the bathroom during the night and in the AM.
