You can also travel as a guest first and become a host later. Your calendar always remains under your control.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">How much does membership cost?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">The annual membership costs approximately 220 Euros. This includes unlimited exchanges and all guarantees. You'll have already recouped your investment by the second family vacation per year.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">How safe is that?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">All members are verified with ID. HomeExchange offers insurance and support for every exchange. The rating system ensures you always know who you're dealing with.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">Does this also work with small children?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">Yes, it's even ideal for families with children. More space, your own kitchen, and many apartments already have children's toys, high chairs, bicycles, and cribs. You can specifically filter for this when searching.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">What exactly are GuestPoints?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">GuestPoints are Homeexchange's internal currency. You earn them by hosting guests, and spend them when you stay at other members' homes. One night costs between 100 and 300 GP, depending on the location.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">Can I also travel without picking someone up?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">Yes. You can earn GuestPoints by hosting, and then travel whenever you want, independently. Small amounts of GuestPoints can also be purchased directly from HomeExchange.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"he-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"he-faq-q\">What happens if something breaks?<\/div>\n        <div class=\"he-faq-a\">Homeexchange offers insurance that covers damages. In practice, damages are extremely rare because members treat their homes the same as their own \u2013 after all, they are hosting guests themselves.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- FOOTER CTA -->\n  <div class=\"he-cta-box\">\n    <div class=\"he-cta-box-title\">Start now and travel affordably<\/div>\n    <p class=\"he-cta-box-sub\">Over 145,000 families worldwide are already using Homeexchange.
