1
Start with the agreed rental price
If the accepted offer is $1,000, the rental price at checkout is still $1,000.
TRAVELLER + OWNER · PAYMENT
Payment
The agreed rental price stays the agreed rental price. At checkout, the traveller pays that amount plus only the actual processing cost of the payment method they choose.
2
Choose how to pay
Credit card is usually more convenient but generally costs more to process. Direct bank payment is generally cheaper but can take longer to confirm or settle.

See the exact total before confirming
NOOST shows the actual processing amount and final traveller total before payment. There is no additional traveller booking commission added to the agreed rental price.

AT A GLANCE
What this means.
- The $6 search fee — and the one-time $3 Multiple Stays unlock when it applies — are separate search fees and are not added again at checkout.
- Traveller payment-processing cost is separate from NOOST's 6% owner success fee.
- The owner's payout is based on the agreed rental price, less NOOST's 6% owner success fee, not less the traveller's payment-method charge.
- Any legally required taxes or government charges, if applicable, must be disclosed separately rather than hidden inside the rental price.
