Membership
Our system is set up for a one on one simultaneous swap (you go to their home, they come to yours). But Urban Crabs aims to become a big community of friends who do many other things together. We expect many couches will be surfed – and you can arrange this (and anything else) by contacting a member directly.
No definitely not. We expect most members will have a job that allows them to work from elsewhere for a period of time every year, but you are also welcome just to use Urban Crabs to swap during holidays or weekends! As long as you swap at least once a year.
Most home exchange services have loads of non-active members. To make sure we stay an active community, we require you to do a swap at least once a year.
Just send us email at hi@urbancrabs.com. We only want happy and active members!
Our Terms & Conditions state a notice of 1 month, but usually we process your cancellation much faster.
Currently, Urban Crabs accepts members from the cities mentioned on this page. If you live in another city that you think we should add, please do send us a message!
Membership is free for everybody. After each swap, we ask you to pay what you can to support our society.
