Renting a holiday villa<\/strong> or apartment<\/strong> has become very easy thanks to the Internet. With a simple click, you’ll have a wider choice <\/span>of offers for your dream destination. But how to make a safe choice?<\/p>\n

Addressing to a travel agency specialised in tourist rentals<\/strong> is the best solution to avoid the risk of fraud. Here’s how to spot one!<\/p>\n

Authorisations
\"dh\"<\/h3>\n

Qualified agencies always show their legal certifications<\/strong> in their official web sites together with VAT references. In addition, you can easily search for basic information about the company using Google<\/strong> or any other search engine, by entering the company name.<\/p>\n

Detailed Web Site<\/h3>\n

Today professional agencies make the most of technology. They offer detailed web sites with multilingual contents<\/strong> and allow the customer to verify availability of accommodations<\/strong>, simulate quotes<\/strong> including all costs, book<\/strong> and even check the exact position of the property with virtual tours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"dh1\"<\/p>\n

Social media tools and reviews<\/h3>\n

Thanks to the social media it’s easier to investigate a company and understand if it really exists. The presence of updated contents on social tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin<\/strong>, etc. is a good sign! You can verify if the agency replies to the questions, how long it takes for that and you can even check other clients’reviews about their services.<\/p>\n

\"booking
Contract<\/h3>\n

\"booking<\/p>\n

When dealing directly with a property owner, you often don’t get a proper contract for the booking confirmation. On the contrary, specialised agencies always ask to accept specific booking conditions<\/strong> and sign a contract<\/strong>, which is subscribed by the agency as well. Generally additional services are also offered, such as the travel insurance, an aspect which you should not forget!<\/p>\n

Secure payments<\/h3>\n

Agencies always indicate all possible payment methods<\/strong> and relative costs in their own web site. Moreover, all payment services have traceability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Phone contact<\/h3>\n

Sometimes a more direct contact might resolve any doubt! Get in touch with the agency through the phone. A multilingual team will be ready to assist you and answer to all of your questions!<\/p>\n
