Rental Ideas | Rent My Vacation Home

Receive Pre-Arrival Information from Owner

The vacation homeowner or property manager should advise you about travel arrangements, including the most convenient airports, car rentals, and alternative transportation options.

They should also provide you with:

Driving directions to the rental, gate codes and any other access details
Keys (physical set of keys or instructions for using the numerical keypad lock)(WE think code Locks are better and safer)
24/7 contact name and telephone number in the event of any questions or issues

What to ask before you book the trip

Here, based on my own adventures and conversations with several experts, are 14 things to know about vacation rentals.

Know whom to call when the AC breaks down: Get your host's cellphone number -- and his handyman's. Sure, it's nice if your host leaves behind some ideas of local attractions and restaurants, but chances are you've covered a lot of that ground with your own research. Better that your host -- who probably lives hundreds of miles away -- should leave you some domestic reassurance. If you know what number to call to reach a relevant human being when the pilot light dies and the dishwasher spews on a Saturday night, you'll be happier. This is a double imperative if renting through a management company, because those arrangements often add one or more players to the game of telephone.
Not every picture is worth a thousand words. If you're looking at photographs on a website, be sure to ask how old they are. What has changed since they were taken? You may want to ask for customer references, and if you have a friend who can do a drive-by, all the better. It's safest to assume that the website running those tempting for-rent-by-owner ads will take no responsibility for its accuracy.
Pay with a credit card or beware.When you use a credit card you will get a refund for fraud and other problems.Make sure and use our reservation system and do so with your credit card and get the insurance option.Just in case.
Ask about linens. Everyone has a different way of handling the sheets-and-towels issue. Never take any broad statement about linens at face value, and pay no attention to any rhapsodies regarding high thread counts. (Given variability of fabric, weave and wear, you might as well go by your host's shoe size.) Call and ask: Do bathroom towels come with the house, and if so, how many per person, and where are the extras kept? What about towels for beach or pool? If somebody is going to sleep on a fold-out couch, where will those sheets be? Extra blankets? Do we need to wash them at the end of our stay or just throw them in a single pile somewhere? And while we're on the subject, ask: When, dear landlord, did you last buy new sheets and furniture or paint the place? With busy rentals, that may need to be done yearly.
Our custom Maps are your friend. Use our system to see the area. I learned the beach lesson two years ago, when we rented a vast home in Fort Bragg. It sat on a sleepy street within easy view of the coast and slept eight of us in great comfort and quiet. What we didn't realize until arrival, however, is that at the end of the block, private property blocked our access to the water. To reach the beach, we had to drive, not walk.
Get consensus. Got something specific in mind? Forget it. Very few rental houses look as enticing as a fancy hotel room (and lobby, and restaurant) photographed by a pro. And if you found a house that looked that good, would you trust your children in it? Anyway, you'll never find the one in your mind's eye. Instead, be alert to possibilities you haven't considered. Six months ago, searching for a snowy mountain retreat to accommodate four couples and four preschool daughters, our friend cheryl discovered a geodesic dome, painted lime green on the outside and orange on the inside, at the edge of a steep slope. I know, I know. Yet it called to her -- and to us. While we scrutinized the relevant Web pages, Cheeryl made repeated calls for explanation and amplification. Then we went. It was a triumph -- the smallish kitchen adequate to our needs, the vast living room ideal for parading princesses, the patio Scrabble-friendly, the hot tub steamy, the vistas broad. True, the bedrooms were not all created equal (see No. 7), and we never did figure out how to work the pellet-fed stove properly. Also, those rounded walls did have some startling acoustical properties. But we'd all signed on for some adventure and gone in with our eyes open. And we came out ready to rent it again.
Get there first. Weekend trip with friends or family? Get there ASAP. If you're not the first one in, you may not get first choice of bedrooms. The difference between the master suite and that fourth bedroom they've added next to the garage can be massive. (And if you're the sort who believes in different prices for different bedrooms, get that said before the front door opens or forever hold your peace.)
Take no devices for granted. Many rental owners have realized that it pays to have a DVD player and at least a modest movie library. But music is a different story. Just last month, I stayed in a splendid Paso Robles home with commanding views and a big television, yet if there was a stereo on the property, I never found it. I wound up using the DVD player to listen to CDs. If music or a big screen makes a difference, you need to ask. The same goes for kitchen gadgets and mixing utensils.
Relax about the hot tub. Most landlords have done the math and discovered that a hot tub will pay for itself in its first six months -- especially if they're trying to tart up a humdrum house. Think more about the location and the home itself, less about the plumbing on the patio.
Relax about the home gym too.
Do not relax about that spill in the living room. The maid isn't coming, not until you leave, and you have a cleaning deposit hanging in the balance. Furthermore, if that stain sets, you won't be sticking it to some faceless corporation; you'll be annoying that nice man or woman who put up with all your phone calls and questions.
There's always next year. In many ways, the best time to browse for next year's rental is while you're on this year's vacation. On beach walks and scenic drives, keep an eye out for cool prospects bearing rental logos or phone numbers.
You know how some people are colorblind? Others are that way about lamps, paintings and plastic plants. You think you've seen it all, but you haven't. The home-rental world seethes with Day-Glo flowers, wide-eyed waifs and anatomically incorrect horses. The maritime living room with the Old Salt lamp. The Hawaiian bedroom. But remember: Unless the art in question is a pointy bronze sculpture -- and I have seen those in rental houses -- it probably can't hurt you. Also, as long as the stuff is unharmed and in its place when you leave, you can temporarily redecorate a little. Inspired in a thrift shop, I once laid out $7 to add a truly memorable painting to a Santa Cruz rental home. (The owner's thank-you note to me was apparently lost in the mail.)
Expect the unexpected. Just as there was for that Santa Cruz landlord, there will be a surprise for you. Maybe several. It's practically built into the process. Trawling OwnerS AT ( www.rentmyvacationhome.com), our friend once discovered a house, within walking distance of downtown. The photos looked good, the price was right, so we booked it. On arrival, we discovered it wasn't really a big house but on the Lake.

Deposit

Use Travel Guard Deposits are a thing of the past

The process for renting a vacation home differs from booking a hotel room. One of the many benefits is working with owners directly and saving money. This helps you make the best choice for you and your family. Sometimes it may take an owner a while to respond to your inquiry for a variety of reasons. So be patient, send multiple inquiries

We recommend you make inquiries to multiple vacation homes.

Secure Reservation with Deposit (use a credit Card)Make sure and use our reservation system.

To secure a reservation for a vacation rental, it is standard for homeowners or property managers to request a reservation/security deposit ranging from 10% - 50% of the total rental rate.

Reasons to Purchase Travel Insurance

You can't afford to travel without it!
There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, or return home early. To demonstrate the importance of purchasing travel insurance, here are some common examples of what could go wrong. Incidentally, all are covered by a Travel Guard travel insurance policy:

You could lose money you've invested for your trip, such as nonrefundable deposits, if bad weather conditions cause delay or cancellation of your trip.
You may have to cut your trip short and return home for an emergency such as an unexpected illness or death in the family forcing you to lose the remaining pre-paid portion of your trip and pay a ticket change fee for your return travel arrangements.
Your luggage could be lost, delayed or stolen, forcing you to purchase additional clothes, essentials or even prescription medications.
The airline, cruise line or tour operator with which you're scheduled to travel suddenly goes on strike leaving you with no option but to cancel your trip with no recourse for reimbursement.
You could run into major travel delays forcing you to miss a portion of your trip or cruise and be forced to pay additional lodging expenses while you wait.
You could be forced to evacuate your resort due to a predicted hurricane or other weather conditions, cutting your trip short... with no recourse for reimbursement for the remaining portion of your vacation.

Q. Are the benefits listed per insured or per booking?
A. The Trip Cancellation & Interruption coverages are per booking. All other coverages are per person. For example if the insured purchased travel insurance coverage for a trip costing a total of $2,000, this would be the maximum reimbursement allowable under trip cancellation or interruption for that booking.

Q. Will my current homeowners, renters, credit card, or health insurance policies cover me during my trip?
A. Other insurance policies may not offer coverage while you travel due to benefit limits, territory restrictions, and deductibles. Most people don't have any insurance coverage at all if they must cancel their trip. This insurance travel plan has a wide range of travel benefits; which credit card, homeowners, and renter's insurance policies may not offer.

Q. I know that I have a pre-existing medical condition; will the plan cover me?
A. Even if you have a medical condition that has been unstable in the last 60 days, you should still consider enrolling in this insurance protection plan because you can waive the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion by enrolling in the plan and paying for it within 21 days of your initial deposit. So long as you are medically able to travel at time of purchase, waiving the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion is the easiest way to alleviate doubt as to coverage for chronic medical conditions. There are some conditions that are not covered by the policy such as anxiety-related mental or nervous disorders. Please see the Exclusions section of the Description of Coverage to view these coverages.

Q. What if I need transportation due to medical reasons and I am unable to get prior authorization from Travel Guard?
A. We always instruct our insureds to contact local medical services during an emergency for immediate medical attention, or evacuation if necessary, and then notify Travel Guard as soon as is reasonably possible. Payment arrangements for your evacuation will depend on the nature of your particular situation and should be discussed with Travel Guard.

Q: Will my vacation be covered if I cancel due to a hurricane?
A: You will have coverage if the property that you are staying at is inaccessible or uninhabitable within 30 days after the named hurricane causes the damage.

Q. Is there help while I'm traveling?
A. One of the valued benefits offered in this insurance protection plan is the 24-Hour Emergency Assistance Service. Travel Guard is a leader in this field. With the Assistance Services, you have access to the services of a highly trained, multi-lingual staff around the clock to assist you with such emergencies as cash transfers, lost documents, medical or legal monitoring, and referrals. They are also equipped to respond in many unexpected circumstances.
If an emergency should arise during your trip, call Travel Guard immediately and give the details of your problem or medical emergency.

Q. Where can I call for more information?
A. You may call Travel Guard at 1.877.249.5376, with any questions regarding the travel insurance. Their service representatives will be happy to assist you.

Q. When is the latest the insurance can be purchased?
A. The coverage can be purchased up until 24 hours prior to departure.

Q. How do I file a claim?
A. In the event of a claim, please notify your booking agent immediately. Then call Travel Guard at 1-877.249.5376 and refer to product #008574 P1 8/09 to start your claim.
