When can I modify a booking?#

A booking can be modified:

• Before the rental starts
• By agreement between renter and owner

Modifications depend on:

• Availability
• Acceptance by the other party
• Any price adjustment

---

How do I modify a booking?#

1. Go to "My bookings"
2. Select the booking
3. Click "Modify"
4. Update the fields you want (e.g. dates or times)
5. Send the modification request

The other party receives a notification.

---

What can I modify?#

Depending on the situation, you can change:

• Start and end date
• Rental duration (extend or shorten)
• Pickup or return time (by agreement)
• Any add-on options

Not every modification is always possible.

---

What happens after a modification request?#

After you submit a modification:

• Status becomes "Pending"
• The other party can accept or decline
• The price is recalculated

A modification is only final after:

• Acceptance by the other party
• Completion of any additional payment

---

What does "Pending" mean for a modification?#

"Pending" means:

• The other party hasn't responded yet
• Or an additional payment hasn't been completed

Until confirmation, the original booking remains valid.

---

Extending a rental#

Want to rent longer?

• Submit a modification request before the rental ends
• The owner must agree
• The extra rental cost must be paid

Without a confirmed extension, the item must be returned on the original end date.

---

Shortening a rental#

Want to return early?

• You can submit a modification request
• The owner must agree

Note:

• Returning early does not automatically mean a refund
• It depends on the cancellation terms

---

What happens with the price?#

When modifying:

• The rental price is recalculated automatically
• The deposit may be reassessed if needed

Possible outcomes:

• You owe more
• You receive a partial refund
• No price change

A modification is not final without the price adjustment being processed.

---

What happens with the deposit?#

If the modification affects:

• Rental duration
• Item category
• Risk profile

Then the deposit may be adjusted in line with the deposit policy.

See the deposit policy for details.

---

What if the other party declines?#

If a modification request is declined:

• The original booking remains valid
• You can cancel under the cancellation policy if needed

A decline does not automatically cancel the booking.

---

What if the rental has already started?#

During an active rental:

• You can extend via a modification request
• For problems, use the chat to discuss

Termination or changes during an active rental can have consequences and must be discussed carefully.

---

What is not allowed?#

• Handling modifications outside the platform
• Settling payments directly
• Changing dates without confirmation

All modifications must go through Huurmarkt.

---

Important#

• Submit modifications in time
• Communicate via the chat
• Don't assume automatic approval
• Without confirmation the original booking applies

---

Summary#

You can modify a booking from your bookings overview.

A modification is only final after:

• Acceptance
• Any payment
• Confirmation in the system

Until then the original booking remains valid.
