You can set your hours of availability for guest pickups and returns and set yourself as unavailable on days/times when you can’t accommodate a guest trip start or end.

## About availability

There are two different features that let you control your availability:

*   **Pickup and return hours** let you set the times when you’re available for a guest to pick up or return a vehicle at the start or end of a trip
*   **Unavailability**, that is, blocking your availability, lets you remove your vehicle(s) from search for dates and times when you can’t accommodate a trip.

**Note:** If you need to make your vehicle(s) unavailable for an extended period of time, we suggest changing the vehicle listing status to “[Snoozed](https://help.turo.com/unlisting-or-snoozing-a-vehicle-listing-ryotlwkUq).” We’ll automatically relist your vehicle(s) when the snoozed period you set ends.

## Pickup and return availability

When you list your first vehicle, we set your availability for vehicle pickups and returns from 7 am – 10 pm on weekdays and 7 am – 7 pm on weekends. We’ll use these times as your default availability at your home, delivery, and custom locations. 

You can change your pickup and return hours at any of your vehicle locations at any time by choosing **Settings** from the host menu and opening **Pickup and return hours**. We’ll apply your changes to all vehicles available at those locations. Guests can only book trips that start and end during the times when you’re available. 

## Unavailability

You can block your availability for days and times when you can’t accommodate a trip. Unavailability won’t impact in-progress trips. You can block availability on your **Calendar** at any time.

To block availability on the **Calendar**, select a day or several days to make changes all at once or select a timespan of days. You can also make a change on the same day(s) for all your vehicles. 

Choose the **“Daily”** option to block one time period across all selected days. Choose the **“Hourly”** option to block the same time period on each of the selected days. To remove a block, select the dates you want to change and tap or click **Remove**. 

**Tip:** For easy-to-follow instructions with pictures for setting availability**,** tap or click the information widget in the top left corner of the **Calendar** page and choose **“Launch tutorial.”**
