A major differentiator for PickPackGo is our ability to allow renters to immediately book properties online. Our Book Now feature helps renters make vacation rental reservations directly with professional property managers online using a major credit card.

In fact, the Book It button that appears on our listings is an early indicator to potential renters visiting our site that this vacation rental home, condo or villa is managed by a professional property manager. I have written before about the advantages of renting from professional property managers, and continue to believe that renters should try to avoid entering into private-party transactions that involve a check, money order, cash or equivalent.

If you have visited our site before, you know we have had Book Now available for awhile for property managers using Instant Software’s property management software. In addition, when we announced our partnership with Escapia, we committed to delivering Book Now capabilities for those using the EscapiaONE™ platform, which we have also now released.

Book Now offers peace of mind for both renters and property managers. If you’ve taken advantage of this feature, please let us know about your experience.
