How to connect
Step 1: Upload or Import your Properties
Once you have signed up to Rentals United, we will ask you to upload your properties manually using our 15-minute property upload tool, or if you have an Airbnb account you can pull your listing straight from them.
Step 2: Rentals United Quality Checker
Run your listings through the Rentals United Quality Checker. This optimisation report will state where improvements are needed for each property to increase their marketability and reach. From the amount of images at the right resolution to whether rates or amenities are missing. Don’t underestimate the power of the Quality Checker - the time spent on your rental optimisation will be rewarded with improved conversion rate in the channels.
Step 3: Instant Booking Page
Get your guests to book directly using our optimised Book Direct pages. With every property you upload, we automatically create a sleek property page advertising your prices, availability, photos and content. Guests can check your pricing & availability right away, proceed to checkout and confirm the reservation.
Step 4: Channels
You will be contacted by your dedicated Implementation Specialist who will suggest appropriate channels for your distribution mix. They will clarify all the detailed information on channel requirements (many channels have their own set of rules and commissions).
Step 5: Simplicity at its finest: The onboarding process
If you already have an account with a channel, your onboarding will be instantaneous. For connections with channels that you weren’t previously connected with, the onboarding can vary from 24 hours to a couple of weeks.

FAQ
Do I have to add all of my listings manually?
You can either add them manually (approximately 15 minutes per rental with our property upload wizard) or if you have rentals on Airbnb you can use our automatic import from Airbnb tool.
I already have well-positioned accounts. Can I connect them?
No problem, sync and manage them automatically from your new Rentals United account. Ranking won’t change (well, chances are you may go higher up in the rankings, given that the OTAs will now consider you a tech-enabled professional!).
Do I need to create accounts with the listing sites?
With most listing sites, we will automatically create accounts for you.
Do I have to advertise on all your channels or can I pick and choose?
You can pick and choose the channels you wish to advertise on and will be assigned a key account manager to advise you on which channels are the best for you.
