Instant Book

To enhance your booking flexibility, we’ve introduced the Instant Book feature. With this option, filmmakers can book your location instantly, provided the times and dates are available on your ScoutAround Calendar.

Benefits of Instant Book:
- Saves time by eliminating the need to log in and accept requests.
- Increases the likelihood of bookings since filmmakers prefer locations with Instant Book enabled.

How to set up Instant Booking:
During the property listing process, you’ll be prompted to select “instant booking” or “inquiry only.”

Instant Book Rules:
Once enabled, guests can book instantly. You can cancel without penalties if you feel uncomfortable with a reservation for specific reasons:
- The guest indicates they may violate your location rules.
- The guest is booking for an activity not permitted by your listing.
- The guest does not respond promptly in the booking chat.
- The guest has several concerning reviews.

Cancellations not aligned with these reasons may incur penalties and could affect your rating or lead to termination of the Instant Book feature. For detailed information on our cancellation policy, including host-initiated cancellations, please consult our latest Terms of Service.

You’ll always receive at least 24 hours' notice from the time an Instant Booking is confirmed to when it begins. The Instant Book feature is optional, and you can enable or disable it at your discretion.
