Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you send an inquiry.
Browsing, inquiring, and our advisor support are always free. Some listings include a platform fee and a refundable insurance amount — both shown clearly before you commit, and only paid when you sign a rental contract.
No. Makani isn't a booking site. You send an inquiry, our team contacts you, answers questions and connects you directly with the verified owner.
Every listing is reviewed by our team before going live — real photos, real prices, real owners. If anything's off, we remove it.
Usually within a couple of hours during the day. You'll get a WhatsApp message from a real Makani advisor — no bots.
Absolutely. Many families reach out together. We're happy to walk parents through safety, pricing and the whole process.
