As properties rack up more five-star reviews, they

get more popular—and also more expensive.

So look for rentals from folks who are just start-

ing out. “They often offer a lower rate to attract

vacationers who they’re hoping will love their

stay so much that they’ll leave positive reviews,”

explains Kaltenbaugh. “My sister started renting

out a condo in North Myrtle Beach and needed

reviews, which would help her get more business,

so she made her rental rate cheaper than everyone

else’s and ended up fully booked!”

Love the lower price you get when you bundle a

car, flight and hotel on Expedia.com? “You can

also get bundle discounts on Expedia by book-

ing privately owned vacation rentals, saving you

about 10% to 20%,” says Kaltenbaugh. To do:

Select the “Bundle and Save” option in the top

menu, pick your destination, travel dates and

what you’d like to bundle (such as “Flight +

Hotel + Car”), then press “Search.” You can then

filter the results by selecting “Vacation Rentals”

to quickly find the best bundle deal!

Found a vacation rental you love? Before you

book, Google the property’s address or descrip-

tion. “Many times, rentals are listed on more

than one site at different prices, including tra-

ditional travel-booking sites like Booking.com

and TripAdvisor.com, and you could end up

finding it elsewhere for a lower rate,” says Anita

Kaltenbaugh, author of Travel Secrets: Insider

Guide to Planning, Affording and Taking More

Vacations. Pro tip: “Often, you can get the best

savings if the owners have their own website that

lets you book directly since it means you sidestep

rental site fees, saving you on average $10 to $50.”

Enjoy a vacation stay for less!

Whether you’re planning a last-minute summer getaway or looking ahead to the

holidays, vacation rental sites like Airbnb.com let you book lodging in a privately

owned place at rates up to 50% less than a hotel! To lock in the lowest price...

Vacation rentals may have listed rates, yet owners

are still willing to lower them for certain reasons,

says K a ltenbaugh. “For example, if you’re ma k-

ing last-minute reservations and a property is still

vacant a day or two before your trip, many owners

would rather give you a deal than let it sit empty

and ma ke nothing. Or if you’re planning an

extended stay, owners may discount their rate or

give you one night free since it means less work for

them, such as cleaning.” To see about a discount,

Kaltenbaugh advises contacting owners directly

and asking if there are any “special offers” for last-

minute bookings, extended stays or other reasons.
