• Able to change your travel week? The off-peak shoulder seasons typically offer amazing rates on weekly rental accommodations.
• Many rental companies and owners offer savings for active duty and veteran men and women of the U.S. Armed forces, or returning guests of the same rental. Make sure to check with vacation rental company to see if your visiting group qualifies for a discounted price.
• Some properties are primarily designed for particular groups of travellers. Event homes are great for weddings, receptions and corporate retreats. Some properties cater to beach bums. Other properties are situated close to music venues. You should prioritize your proximity to the adventures and sights you are most looking forward to.
• Property management companies and individual home owners often offer their clients the option to purchase trip insurance coverage. Trip insurance, which usually add somewhere between 1% - 5% of the base vacation rental cost, offers guests reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a consequence of health related emergencies or weather, in addition to ensuing extra hurricane evacuation costs or charges, like an unplanned motel stay or additional gasoline. Trip insurance might just be a bank account-saver if the unforseen happens (heaven forbid!).
