5 tips for choosing your holiday rental

The choice of the type of rental depends on many criteria: the size of the group, the budget, the search criteria but also its location. The choice may also depend on the programme of your holiday in order to facilitate your travels. You can choose between villas, chalets and flats.

2. Choosing the rental company

Contact the agency directly by phone or e-mail to test the responsiveness of the customer service and reliability. You can also check the reviews of previous clients on Google, which will give you a good indication of what to expect. Ask for the address of the rental company and the name of a contact person so that you have a single person to deal with. Check the different clauses of the contract so that you are not cheated.

When you decide to go on holiday, the first thing you need to consider is your budget. For many holidaymakers, accommodation is the biggest expense. Set yourself a maximum budget that you don't want to exceed, so as not to jeopardise your holiday.

If you like to move around, it is advisable to book a property that is close to the activities you enjoy. If you want to spend your holidays in the most quiet place, you can also look for a rental without opposite, isolated from the city and from the noise.

5. Description of the rental

When you are interested in a rental, check the rental conditions, the services included (sheets, cleaning), supplements... In all cases, an exhaustive description of the rental must be given to you, before any payment is made, specifying the address of the property, its surface and the number of rooms. Do not hesitate to ask for additional photos. All these steps will reassure you and prevent you from any bad surprises.
