How does a booking work on Karya?

You send a request, the agency approves it, you confirm within 48 hours. Here is who does what, and when.

Updated on

Booking on Karya is not an instant purchase: it is a request sent to a rental agency, which is free to accept or decline it. The process always follows the same order.

Deadlines to remember

  • A request the agency does not answer is canceled automatically after 48 hours. It has no consequence for your account.
  • Once the request is approved, you have 48 hours to confirm — and never later than the day of departure.
  • A reminder is sent to you 24 hours after approval if you have not confirmed yet.
