Mon expérience avec Rentals United est très bonne ! En plus d’un service-client rapide et très performant, mes réservations s’améliorent à vue d’oeil. J’ai eu le plaisir d’être aidé par Mariagrazia qui a toujours fait un excellent travail! Je recommande !

A Place Like Home

Rentals United was our first foray into the world of Channel Managers after what was a painfully thorough research process in 2017. Their task was to facilitate our growth and exposure to the wider booking platform market and quite simply they exceeded every expectation and goal we had set. We found ourselves struggling to manage the admin side from the speed at which we started receiving reservations!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Rentals United synchronizes rates, availability, and pricing across Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo. We rely on direct, two-way API connections to push real-time updates from your PMS to all connected channels.

Connected listing sites are the OTAs, metasearch engines, wholesalers, and specialist booking sites you can distribute your properties to through Rentals United’s channel manager. You connect once, through your existing PMS or directly with Rentals United, then publish to a mix of global names like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com alongside niche channels built for specific markets, think luxury villas, mid-term stays, or glamping.

Rentals United connects you to 90+ channels across five categories: OTAs, metasearch engines, vacation rental sites, website builders and booking engines, and wholesalers. Filter by curated list (budget, business, premium and luxury, glamping, mid-term stays), location, or travel trend to find the channels that fit your portfolio instead of scrolling through every option.

Major OTAs like Airbnb and Booking.com give you broad reach. A niche channel targets a specific traveler or property type, business travel, glamping, luxury villas, and often converts better with a smaller, more relevant audience. Relying on one or two big channels leaves revenue on the table. Most portfolios grow faster with a mix of both.

Use the filters on the connected listings page: curated lists like premium and luxury or mid-term stays, location (Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific, European, worldwide), and travel trends (coastal, mountain, urban). Narrow the full list down to the channels that match your property types and target guests, then connect through your dashboard.

No. Rentals United plugs into your existing PMS rather than replacing it. Your PMS stays your system of record for property data and bookings. Rentals United handles distribution to every connected listing site and keeps it all in sync.
