If you need to split up your payment, you can as long as your stay is eligible and there's a payment plan option at checkout.

Some hosts apply weekly and/or monthly discounts for longer stays that often mean higher occupancy, lower turnover, and less work for them. Others apply custom discounts to attract specific travelers. They offer lower prices to travelers who book further in advance or at the last minute.

So, is booking an Airbnb last minute cheaper? We recommend a middle path: Booking neither many months in advance nor a few days before check-in, but somewhere in between. This offers the lowest typical rates, according to our data. Keep in mind that this rule of thumb won't apply in every situation.

Save significant price reductions for last-minute holes in your calendar that will almost certainly remain unfilled because of other bookings that sandwich it. As a rule of thumb, you can look to reduce your nightly rate by 10% each day in the final week leading up to a vacant block on your calendar.
