Where other platforms pass their revenue on to travelers through high or opaque commissions, Terral, Inc. takes a different approach.
Travelers pay zero commission, full stop.
Payment = listed price only, excluding transaction fees.
💡 How is this possible? Commissions (CSS) are deducted from the payout received by the host — never added to the price paid by the traveler. The model is fair and transparent on both sides.
* Payout = listed price minus a CSS fee and transfer costs
