Yes. VanLife Connect has a built-in messaging tool.
If you’re interested in a service but have questions or need a custom arrangement, you can tap “Message” or “Request Quote” on the Provider’s listing (or after sending a booking request).
This lets you discuss details in-app without sharing personal contact info. For example, you might ask about availability or describe the task in more detail. Providers can even send a custom quote through the chat – a tailored offer with a specific price or details and timing. If you both agree on that quote, you can accept it in the app and it will become a confirmed booking. All of this should be done via the app’s chat to ensure it’s covered by our platform. (Remember, exchanging phone numbers or arranging payment outside the app is against our rules until a booking is confirmed.)
