## **Trip bookings**

Turo’s system automatically accepts guest bookings for your vehicle(s) based on the days, times, and locations you’ve set as available. 

You’re responsible for honoring all accepted trips. To make sure you can do so, go to [Trip Preferences](https://help.turo.com/setting-trip-duration-BJZpGUJIc) to review your availability settings for advance notice, trip buffer, and trip duration. You can also check your Calendar, [Availability](https://help.turo.com/setting-your-car's-availability-BkpBSVxVq), and [Location & delivery](https://help.turo.com/setting-your-car%27s-availability-BkpBSVxVq) settings. Keep these settings updated so you only receive trips that match your availability and avoid cancellations. Canceling a trip with a guest triggers a violation fee of up to $50 and can negatively impact your business. 

If you must cancel because you can’t fulfill the request or feel uncomfortable with the booking, notify your guest as early as possible and immediately [cancel the trip in the system](https://help.turo.com/canceling-a-trip-with-your-guest-HkkzLVlE5) so your guest has ample time to rebook. You may not ask a guest to cancel for you. If you must cancel due to an emergency, contact customer support via the “Contact Us” button at the bottom of the page.

## **Trip changes**

Guests have to submit requests via Turo to [extend or shorten](https://help.turo.com/managing-requests-to-extend-or-shorten-a-trip-BJDjrVg45) their trip; to add Extras; or to add, change, or remove delivery. We’ll notify you of changes or change requests and how much time you have to respond.
