Why you should always pay for holiday home rentals by credit card
Warning - paying for a holiday home rental you have found on the internet, directly to the 'owner' is very risky, unless you use a credit card.
The scam - You may be paying someone who is pretending to be the owner – it's very simple for fraudsters to upload a holiday home on to an advertising site. It happens all the time and is the scourge of the industry.
The solution - the solution is to always pay by credit card. That way you are fully protected, if you don't get the goods you have paid for you contact your card company and get a full and immediate refund. Simple. Plus fraudsters don’t accept credit cards as a rule!
The bad news - most holiday home owners and agents don’t have a credit card merchant account. It's not an easy thing to acquire as banks regard travel as a risky business. Therefore it can be very costly for small operators to set up so many don't bother, not realising how much it puts off security conscious customers.
The GOOD news - CostaRenters.com allows instant online bookings via our real-time availability calendars with reservation payments using credit and debit cards so it's completely safe and convenient for you to book online.
