Hi all,

wondering if anyone has experience with this: we'd like to offer airport transfer 
arrangements to guests as a paid add-on, collected via a payment link (not through Airbnb's 
Resolution Center) after the reservation is confirmed. Has anyone done something similar for 
transfers/taxis specifically, and if so, have you had any issues with Airbnb's Off-Platform 
Policy? Curious how others handle this in practice, given Resolution Center fees eat too much 
into a low-margin service like a taxi transfer. Would appreciate hearing real experiences, 
not just the official policy wording.

 

BR,

Azur

I don’t have any experience with this, but I wouldn’t be concerned with the off-platform policy for this. Airport transfer is something optional and not core to the stay. However, for hosts located in the US, I might be concerned about how offering airport transfer may cause the host to have their income pushed over to Schedule C.
