The Free-Rentals.com business model is to put the vacation rental industry back into the hands of individual vacation home owners. What that means to the average vacation home owner is this… Free-Rentals.com offers you tools and services to actively market and promote your vacation rental.

In contrast, the big stalwart companies that currently control the Vacation Rental industry do so simply because… they got there first. So before you pay $150 USD PER YEAR just to have your vacation rental property listed at one of these corporate websites, ask yourself… what are they DOING with that money to actively promote MY rental unit?
 
My guess is that they using your money to fly themselves around business class to attend various internal meetings.

 At Free-Rentals.com, we DO NOT require a payment to host your vacation rental unit. We simply ask members to consider a donation. In return for their donation, we offer services to actively market and promote their rental unit. Specifically:
 
1.) 80% of the money you donate is spent to purchase Google Ads, directed at your specific property listing. Here is a how a sample ad appears. These ads run on Google Search Results and Google Partner websites.  

2.) We publish your listing to our dedicated regional sister website. While Free-Rentals.com attracts an international clientele, our dedicated sister websites are 100% laser focused on a given regional area. Here for example is our dedicated Costa Rica website: http://www.rentals-costa-rica.com/
 
3.) We publish your listing to Vast.com, Twitter.com/freerentals, RSS and other affiliate websites that accept our feed.
 
4.) We publish your listing on free classified ads websites such as craiglist.org, kijiji.com and several other such sites.

5.) We have a few other tactics concerning how we drive targeted traffic to your listing but we need to keep that information confidential, as we have not yet found any other vacation rental company deploying the same tactics.
 
So in summary, if you want a team on your side to do the heavy lifting for you in marketing and promoting your vacation rental, give us a try at Free-Rentals.com
