Payment terms

We use a payment gateway provider called Stripe for all charges. When a monthly hire is initially set up, Stripe will send a request to your bank for either a $0 or $1 authorisation. This is to verify that the card is issued and the bank will allow the payment to be authorised. Generally, people don’t ever see this transaction appear as it is reversed immediately, however some people may still see an authorisation for $1 on their credit card statement.

If you do see this authorisation, please don’t panic! It is important to remember that this is not a charge and will disappear from your statement. Depending on your bank, the authorisation will be removed from within a few minutes to a couple of weeks.
