Vacation Rentals – Book Direct With The Owner And SAVE – Here’s How…
As you probably know, many listing sites charge a commission, or as they call it, a service fee.
These fees can range from 8 to a whopping 25 percent.
So, if you’re paying a base rate of $100 a night you could be paying $125 a night, just because you booked the property through one of the big listing companies.
Owners or hosts don’t charge commission so if you can find the owners or hosts own website and you book directly with them, you could be saving a lot of money.
In the super short video below, I save $527 in just one minute, just by checking if the listing on Hichee has a verified owner.
If the property hasn’t been verified by the owner or host, you may find a book direct option by using Hichee’s Magic Search option.
This two minute video shows me saving $2,089 when using Magic Search
It’s very quick and easy to use and who knows, you may save quite a bit of money!
