17 but 18 when going on the trip

[Josie67]

Hello, 

I am trying to book a trip to Norway and Denmark from May 29th - June 13th, 2019. I do not turn 18 until May 4th. I am trying to figure out a way to book the Airbnbs I have picked out legally. I don't want to wait until May to book because I feel like by then there will be nothing left to book. 

I have read that maybe contacting the host through my parents account and explaining the situation they could save the date for me until I turn 18? 

Please help!

@Josie67,

You own allready an Airbnb account, but due to the Terms of Service it is not allowed to create an account under 18 years old. ;>)

Quote from the Terms of Service:

"2.1 In order to access and use the Airbnb Platform or register an Airbnb Account you must be an individual at least 18 years old"

Your parents could indeed ask the host such a question by using the  "contact host" link on the listing.

It depends on the host if and how he wants to coorporate on this.

Good luck,

Emiel
