Paying Rent and Setting Up Autopay
Paying rent on Hangar Direct works like this: add a payment method once, pay from your lease page, and turn on autopay if you want future payments charged automatically.
Pilots and tenants pay no Hangar Direct service fees. The only fees you may see are payment processing fees, disclosed per payment method at payment time.
Adding a payment method
Go to Payment Methods in the sidebar under PAYMENTS and click Add a payment method. You can add:
- A card, which is added and ready to use right away.
- A US bank account (ACH), verified either instantly through your bank or via micro-deposits. Accounts awaiting micro-deposit confirmation appear in the Pending Verification section until you confirm the amounts.
Each saved method has options to Edit its nickname, Delete it, or set it as your default.
Paying rent with Pay Now
Payments are made from the lease detail page. Open Leases in the sidebar and click the lease. Your payments are listed in two places: the lease's activation checklist under Complete Payment, and the lease's Payment History tab.
- Click Pay Now on a payment row to pay it with a saved payment method.
- If a payment didn't go through, the row shows Retry instead. Fix or switch your payment method and try again.
Overdue payments also appear on your dashboard's Action needed card, which links straight to the lease.
Setting up autopay
On the lease detail page, use the Set up Autopay button to have future lease payments charged automatically to your chosen payment method. Once enabled, rent is collected on schedule without you logging in each cycle.
A bank account (ACH) is a popular choice for autopay because ACH processing fees are lower than card fees when the operator passes processing fees through.
Fees
Hangar Direct charges pilots and tenants no service fees on lease payments. The only fees you may see are payment processing fees, which are disclosed per payment method at payment time when the operator passes them through:
- ACH (bank account): 0.8%, capped at $5
- Card: 2.9% + $0.30
You'll always see the exact amount before you confirm a payment.
Reviewing your payment history
You have two views of what you've paid:
-
Per facility: open the facility's page from the sidebar and use its Payments tab, a read-only history showing lease, type, due date, paid date, amount, total, payment method, and status. Payment actions like Pay Now live on the lease detail page.
-
Everything: Payment History in the sidebar under PAYMENTS shows every payment across all facilities, with tabs for All, Paid, Refunded, and Partially Refunded, plus an Export button for a CSV copy you can use for expense records or your accountant.
