How bidding works on RentZone
Learn how auction listings work — placing bids, winning, and turning a winning bid into a confirmed booking.
Some RentZone listings use Bid or Fixed + Bid pricing. Instead of booking at a fixed rate only, you can submit a bid with your dates and amount during an open auction window.
Finding auction listings
Filter listings by pricing mode Bid or Fixed + Bid, or visit the Bidding section on the homepage. Live auction listings show a countdown and current high bid on the detail page.
Placing a bid
Enter an amount that meets the minimum increment above the current high bid, plus your check-in and check-out dates. You must be logged in. Only one active bid per listing is typical — check the listing page for rules.
If you win
The host reviews bids and can accept the one that works for them. An accepted bid becomes a held booking you confirm and pay according to the listing's payment policy — down payment, deposit and balance as shown at checkout.
