Are you being ripped off by rental websites?

[rentinspain]

If you own a holiday home in Spain and rent it out for holiday lets you are possibly using one of the big websites such as Owners Direct or Homeaway. Both are the same company along with tripadvisor. Then you can save money for yourself and your guests. You can advertise your property, deal direct with the guests, receive your money when they pay not when OD says you can have it. For just £75 a year as a member of this forum or living in the region you can advertise on www.rentinspain.co.uk

TAKE BACK YOUR RENTAL MARKETING

    Are you fed up with not receiving your deposit payments until a booking is fully paid for?
    Are you fed up with the big websites earning interest on what is really your money?
    Are you fed up with paying too much to advertise on the big websites?
    Do you want to get back to the old system of having control over your marketing and your money?
    Do you want to return to the old system of advertising by paying a small annual fee and no commission?
    Do you want to earn the interest on the deposit money instead of the big websites?
    Do you want YOUR guests to not pay more than they should?

If you answer yes to most of these, then you will be interested in reading more.

YOU will be in control.
YOU will receive your deposit payment direct from the client.

This guest paid £367 more than they should have done. Is this right? The big websites are getting too greedy  it is time for people to go back to using the smaller more personal contact websites.

This is an actual quote for a rental property on Owners Direct sent to me by an owner that is not renewing with them. It is staggering just how much money they charge potential guests just for using their website. Not the booking fee that is extra for the guest to pay on top of the rental fee.
