To rent an Airbnb, you must be at least 18 years old. This is the general minimum age requirement worldwide to create an account and make a booking on Airbnb

. However, there are some important regional exceptions and additional restrictions:

• In certain countries, especially the United States, Canada, the UK, France, Spain, and Japan, guests under 25 may face extra rules. For example, in some U.S. cities, guests under 25 cannot book an entire home near their permanent residence unless they have a history of positive reviews on Airbnb

• The standard minimum age of 18 applies to booking shared spaces or private rooms, but entire home rentals may have stricter policies for younger guests in some areas to prevent unauthorized parties

• The person making the booking must be 18 or older, but other guests staying can be younger, such as children traveling with families

• Hosts can also set their own age restrictions beyond Airbnb’s baseline requirements

In summary, you need to be at least 18 years old to rent an Airbnb, but if you are under 25, check local rules and listing policies carefully, especially for entire home rentals in certain regions
