Florida Vacation Rental Travel Hack – Book Direct

FAMILY, HOSTS, SNOWBIRDS, TRAVEL, VACATION RENTALS - February 3, 2021

Florida Rental By Owners Listing #843 Anna Maria Island Vacation Rental

Book Direct – it’s a complete travel movement away from large online travel agencies towards booking directly with homeowners and managers who own Florida rentals.  This is your best and biggest travel hack for saving money on Airbnb, VRBBO Florida vacation rentals. Have you heard of it? There’s no middle man marking up the price!

Florida Rental By Owners have compiled a list of the some incredible online price comparison examples in the impact that booking direct on sites like FLARBO can have on your travel budget.

Traveler & Host Commission Fees

Large online travel agencies charge traveler fees which bumps up the rental rates. Additionally, many charge the host commission fees which in turn force hosts to make up the commission by charging higher rents.

Online Marketplace Pricing Bumps Rates Based on Sell Out Rate

If the first two reasons weren’t enough to convince you to shop around Book Direct vacation rental options, keep in mind that many large online travel agencies use automated pricing software which regularly changes or offers suggestions to change pricing based on the sell out rate of the platform. Meaning a high demand period with higher occupancy suggests higher rates.

Finding a trusted vacation rental site like FLARBO where you can communicate and book direct with the host will save rental guests money. A great alternative to do more and spend less. Imagine what you can do with your savings!
