The type of discounts you can offer your guests are endless! Here are a few examples of the most common reasons a host creates a discount code.

Returning guest

Do you have a guest that fell in love with your rig on their first trip so they are coming back for more? You can create a discount code that you give to returning guests only as a thank you for choosing your rig again. All you have to do is give that returning guest the name of the code you created and they can apply it during the checkout process.

Friends and Family Discount

Do you have family and friends that would love to rent your rig but might expect a cheaper price than the average Joe? Having a friend and family discount code is a great way to make sure your rig is still being safely rented through the platform but also making sure they feel extra special.

Seasonal discount

You can create seasonal discounts which you can choose to have applied automatically during the selected season. Or you can give a guest the name of the code and have them enter it during the checkout flow.

Choose to create a booking discount of $50, 5% or any amount your heart desires. Whether you choose to have your discount code apply automatically or have the guest apply it during check out, you’re ready to spread the word on social media or mention it to inquiring guests. Who doesn’t love a discount code?

While we love giving the opportunity to hosts to create their own discount codes, Outdoorsy also generates its own discount codes. It is important to note that any discount code created by Outdoorsy will only be deducted from the guest fee and will not affect the pricing or payout of the host.
