The vacation rental industry has changed dramatically over the last few years and not for the better. \u00a0These changes negatively impacted both the traveler and<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>vacation rental owners alike. As a result, more and more owners are leaving the online travel agencies (“OTA’s”) and listing their properties on regional sites like New York Rental By Owner, where there are no booking fees<\/strong>. These regional websites charge owners much less to list their properties and travelers pay nothing, zero, zippo!\u00a0<\/strong> Oddly enough, this is how the OTA industry started!<\/p>\n

New York Rental By Owner<\/a>\u00a0is purely and simply a listing site that connects travelers and vacation rental owners. We believe in open and direct communication between owners and travelers before, during and after the booking. \u00a0In contrast, OTA’s want to control the process bending the rules to their<\/em> benefit, at the expense of the traveler and owner.<\/p>\n

February 7, 2018 is the first ever \u201cBook Direct\u201d<\/strong> day. Vacation rental owners, hoteliers and industry related websites are coming together as one common voice to educate travelers and guests to inform them that there is an alternative to the OTA\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\"Always<\/p>\n

BookDirect to Save Hundreds of Dollars On Your Next Vacation Rental!<\/h3>\n

So say NO to the VRBO!\u00a0 Other OTA\u2019s that will gladly take you hard earned money are: HomeAway, AirBnb, Flipkey, etc. All of these websites will charge both<\/strong> the owner and traveler very high fees. Buyer beware! \u00a0Ask questions and read the website!<\/p>\n

Why pay more for the same vacation rentals?<\/h2>\n

Booking a vacation rental<\/a> on a no fee-listing site can save you money, sometimes hundreds of dollars! Yes, hundreds of dollars! \u00a0At New York Rental By Owner:\u00a0<\/a>We do not charge a traveler fee and never will!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Book<\/p>\n

Receive personalized service.<\/h2>\n

Not every vacation rental is for everyone. Booking direct with an owner or property manager allows for open communication so that you can ask important questions before you book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Receive one-on-one personal service from a local expert. \u00a0Owners know their destination the best, the attractions,, the restaurants, the vendors, the happy hours the discounts, etc., and are more than happy to share with you their insider local tips. \u00a0Remember, owners want your repeat business and will make very effort to ensure you are happy and enthusiastic enough to come back and tell your friends. \u00a0They are completely vested in you having the perfect vacation experience.<\/p>\n

Receive the best possible price.<\/h2>\n

Many of these OTA\u2019s want you to think that they are offering you the best possible price,\u00a0when in fact they’re not.<\/strong>\u00a0 The cost for an owner to list their property on the OTA\u2019s has become increasingly more expensive. \u00a0As a result, owners have no choice but to pass the increase on to travelers. \u00a0 Your fee goes up! \u00a0 \u00a0Speaking directly with the owner guarantees you the best possible rental price, access to special offers and\/or last minute cancellations deals.<\/p>\n

No fee regionals listing sites are gaining in popularity. \u00a0New York Rental By Owner<\/a>\u00a0 (a member of Vacation Home Rental Network<\/a>) is one of them. \u00a0Owners and travelers can make a difference by spreading the word that there is an alternative to VRBO, HomeAway, AirBnb, etc.<\/p>\n
