Vacation Rental Community Supports Book Now Feature
The release of our new Book Now functionality last week was especially exciting to me as a primary contact to our property managers. Since releasing Book Now, we have delivered direct bookings to a number of property managers, including Advantage Vacation Homes in Orlando, Florida, near Walt Disney World.According to Fred Zorayq, director of sales and marketing at Advantage Vacation Homes: “Travelers appreciate the convenience of online booking and we are pleased to be working with PickPackGo to process bookings automatically for renters. PickPackGo is aligned with our goals of getting more highly qualified renters and confirmed bookings. Within 24 hours of activating Book Now through PickPackGo, we generated a confirmed booking for one of our vacation rental properties near Walt Disney World.”Vacation rental property managers, such as Advantage Vacation Homes, are able to seamlessly add their listings for free on PickPackGo because of the solid partnership we established in early September and continue to have with Instant Software.
I’m also pleased to report that our Book Now functionality has excited new partners. Property managers running their businesses on software from Escapia now will be taking advantage of our online booking capabilities.
Property managers are key to making vacation rental homes a mainstream lodging alternative because they provide renters with peace of mind about their stay. Today, we are excited to be working with two vacation rental software leaders to deliver more bookings and revenue to property managers.The possibilities with PickPackGo are unlimited. If you’re a property manager, contact us to learn how we can help you attract more renters and bookings, no matter what system you’re using.

This is great news. I am in the process up setting up my cabin as a vacation rental that I plan to manage my self. Do you have any plans to offer an online reservation system for RBOs (rent by owner)? I was at a Christine Karpinski seminar in Tennessee and know that HomeAway is launching this next year for their network of sites and it will be called HomeAway Connect.

Could you be more specific about the particular features and
capabilities that you would like to see in “an online reservation system
for RBOs”? For example, are you interested in simply being able to
accept credit card payments for direct online bookings that you
authorize (e.g. a pre-arranged booking for agreed-upon dates and fees)
or would you also like to see additional features and capabilities. Feel
free to email feedback@pickpackgo.com to begin a dialogue with our
product team.
