Trial Period

Why do we offer a free trial with "No time limit"?
Why pay for a service without knowing how the web site will perform for you? Why have a trial period limited to a few weeks only? We want you to get results before deciding! During the trial you can get up to 3 free inquiries to test our service. This means your trial doesn't expire until you get results. Then, if you are satisfied, you can decide to subscribe and get unlimited inquiries.

What happens when the trial period is over?
After the first 3 inquiries, your property will still be online, but you will not be able to reply to new inquiries anymore unless you subscribe to Rentalps

Can I go through the free trial and later decide not to subscribe?
Yes. There are no obligations. If for any reason you are not satisfied you can either:
  • Leave the property online but you will not be able to reply to new inquiries
  • Put the property temporarily offline
  • Delete your property

  • You can keep your inquiries organized. You can print the list or you can search for individual inquiries by the renter's name, email address, phone number or date of inquiry.
  • You can make sure that you are receiving all your booking inquiries. In fact, some Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and internet based email accounts can block emails sent to you that they think might be spam without you or Rentalps knowing about it. By having them online, you don't have this sort of problem.
