Portugal Property Rentals revolutionises the Portugal Villa Rental Marketplace

Renting out your holiday home can be a real headache, involving phone calls from renters who don't necessarily speak the same language, waiting for cheques, managing your booking calendar, calculating discounts, and processing payments from clients in different countries. All of this effort takes time, incurs costs and creates delay. Why do it the hard way when it's so easy with the online holiday home management system from Portugal Property Rentals?

The on-line system offers owners everything they need to run a successful holiday rental business, whether they have one property or hundreds. Thanks to a comprehensive management and payment system, owners can advertise their properties to a receptive audience and fully automate everything from bookings to payment collection by credit card. The system even creates invoices, chases payments from renters, and automatically emails managers, agents and customers.

Portugal Property Rentals provides total control, as owners can input bookings gained from other sources into the calendar and centralising all their activities. The booking calendar can be linked to an existing website or tie in with other marketing partners to provide an ideal destination for potential clients who enquire by email. Owners needn't worry about vacant weeks, as the system can be set to automatically apply a discounts for last minute bookings and long stay guests, through its dynamic 'Auto Discount' feature.

Unlike most other holiday rental sites, Portugal Property Rentals, in conjunction with its Industry Partner Villarenters, accepts credit card payments from rental clients without owners having to arrange their own merchant accounts – a costly and time-consuming process. By using Portugal Property Rentals, owners can be up and running with their own online booking and credit card payment system within minutes which they can use for all their bookings from any source. Best of all there is nothing to pay up front. Owners pay only a small commission for each booking and that even includes the normal credit card merchant fee.

Owners receive all the advantages of advertising on the Portugal Property Rentals website and on affiliate websites linked to it – many of these sites are highly placed in search engines, bringing considerable traffic to owners' listings. A growing number of affiliates link to the same set of property details and help to market the properties - bringing enquiries and bookings from every possible source.

As property values rise, many U.K. owners are able to re-mortgage their main home to buy a holiday villa or apartment in Portugal . Our system helps them manage their rental activity, simply, cheaply and efficiently; without getting bogged down with administration. By utilising Portugal Property Rentals, there is very little for the busy villa owner to do... apart from entering the prices, preparing the villa, and organising the hand-over of the key!
