POD ON ME
House rules

Your space. Your responsibility.

POD ON ME works like a short stay: you book the room, you get the keys, and you leave it ready for the next guest. Before the door unlocks, you accept the rental agreement and these rules, and the card you booked with stays on file for cleaning or damage.

Most guests never pay a cent extra. Leave it clean and undamaged, and you only pay for your time.

How it works

  1. Book and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  2. Tap Accept and unlock to sign the rental agreement.
  3. Use the pod: lower the blinds, order dinner to the locker, get to work.
  4. Wipe down, take your trash, walk out. The door locks behind you.
  5. The pod runs its fresh-air reset, and our team inspects and cleans on a schedule.

Leave it as you found it

Before you go, GermProof the desk, table, handles and chair arms with the spray provided, wipe the keyboard and screen with the screen-safe wipes (never spray GermProof on them), and take your trash or bag it in the bin.

$200 cleaning fee

If the pod is left dirty, a $200 cleaning fee is charged to the card you booked with. The next guest can report a dirty pod with photos, and our cleaning team checks it before any charge.

Damage is on the booking card

Anything broken, marked or missing is charged to your card at the cost of repair or replacement. You are responsible for anyone you bring in.

Guest limits

Up to 2 people in an 8′×10′ pod and up to 4 in a 10×12 Meeting Pod.

Check out on time

Your door code stops at the end of your booking. Stay longer only by extending; overstays are charged at the hourly rate.

Not allowed

No smoking, vaping or cannabis. No sleeping overnight. No pets except service animals. No illegal activity. Breaking a rule ends the booking and may ban the account.

Every pod is GermProofed

Clean before you walk in. Clean after you walk out.

Every counter and touch surface is sprayed with GermProof before you enter and again after you leave.

Book 4 hours, a day or a month and a free GermProof spray and hand gel is yours to keep. Anyone can buy one in the pod for $15.

  • Counters, desk, table, handles and chair arms cleaned with GermProof spray between every guest
  • A free GermProof Silver Spray and Silver Barrier Gel with every 4-hour, day-pass and monthly booking (gel for hands only)
  • More GermProof in the vending unit inside every pod: $15 a bottle
  • Keyboards and screens are never sprayed: they get screen-safe wipes

Why GermProof instead of hand sanitizer?

Sanitizer is alcohol that dries your skin and is gone in seconds. GermProof is all natural, alcohol-free, and keeps working: up to 4 hours on surfaces and 2 hours on hands.

Cleaning and restocking

Clean every time, with almost no cleaning at all.

A pod is small, has no kitchen and holds at most a few people, so keeping it spotless takes minutes, not hours.

1. Every guest leaves it ready

Before you check out, a two-minute wipe-down: GermProof spray on the desk, table, handles and chair arms, screen-safe wipes on the keyboard and screen, trash in the bin. Everything you need is on the desk.

2. The next guest checks it

When you walk in, the app asks if the pod is clean and working. One tap reports a problem: the pod closes itself and shows IN SERVICE, you get a full refund or a free move to another pod, and our crew is alerted to come clean it.

3. Messes and damage are billed

If a pod is left dirty, the guest who left it pays a $200 cleaning fee on the card they booked with. Anything damaged during a booking is charged to that guest at the cost of repair. That is what keeps cleaning between guests minimal.

4. Our crew visits every day

Every pod gets scheduled crew visits daily: a full clean with GermProof on every surface, trash out, an equipment and air-filter check, and a restock of GermProof, bottled water, drinks and snacks in the vending units.

For paying guests only

A private room, not a shelter.

Every pod is locked and sealed until a paying guest opens it, and it seals itself again when they leave.

Card required

Cards only, no cash. A verified phone number and a $50 hold are needed to open a pod.

No booking, no entry

The door opens only for a paid booking, and only during that booking. There is no way in otherwise.

12 hours maximum

No overnight stays. Overstays are charged to the card, and repeat overstays close the account.

Sensors, not cameras

Occupancy sensors know when someone is still inside after a booking ends, and alert our operators.

Premium locations only

Resorts, promenades, office campuses and airports, with venue security nearby. Never transit stops or lots.

Sealed when empty

Steel shutters stay down whenever a pod is not booked, so there is nowhere to shelter against.

Privacy

Total privacy, your call.

The glass tints dark the moment you are inside, and blackout blinds close it off completely. There are no cameras inside a pod, ever. The exterior screen shows only OCCUPIED and the time left.

Who decides if a pod was left dirty?

The next guest can report it in the app or on the screen with photos, and our cleaning team checks before charging. If you think a charge is wrong, email our contact form within 48 hours and we will review it.

Is a hold placed on my card?

A temporary authorization may be placed when you book, the same way hotels and car rentals do. It is released when the booking closes cleanly.

Can I bring food?

Yes. Order to your pod’s delivery locker or bring your own. Take the packaging with you or bag it in the bin provided.

Where is the full agreement?

The full rental agreement will be published here before booking opens. By using a pod you will accept it on the screen before the door unlocks.
