Start on Stays or Vehicles and use the filters (area, dates, price, guests) to narrow down what you need. You can also use the search bar in plain language โ it understands natural phrases in multiple languages.
Found a few that look good? Tap the compare icon on a listing card to add it to a side-by-side comparison. This lets you check details like price, amenities, and location together before deciding, instead of switching between tabs.
Open a listing and read the description, photos, and amenities carefully. If it carries the DREDOTT Verified badge, the property or car has been physically inspected by the DREDOTT team. If it doesn't, that's normal too โ just confirm anything important directly with the owner in the next step.
Tap "Message on WhatsApp" on the listing. This opens a chat directly with the real owner or an authorized team member โ introduce yourself, share your dates, and ask any questions you have.
Once you and the owner agree on the details, you pay the owner directly, the way they normally accept payment. DREDOTT does not process this payment and does not add any fee on top โ the price you agree on with the owner is the price you pay.
Because DREDOTT doesn't sit between you and the owner's money, use the same judgment you would on any peer-to-peer platform: confirm details in writing over WhatsApp, and if anything about a listing feels off, use the report option on the listing or reach out via Contact.
