Money Saving Rental Tips

• Many rental managers and rental houses supply New Bern area travel catalogs which include deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by a relationship between the management company and the vendor itself. These guides provide an excellent start to your rental search.
• Want to steer clear of the crowds of people and cut costs? Shoulder seasons offer impressive promotions.
• Many management companies and owners offer special discounts for active and veteran members of the US Military, or repeat visitors to the same vacation home. Make sure to confirm with vacation rental company to see if your visiting group qualifies for a reduced price.
• Some rental properties are essentially catered to particular clients, whether it's oceanside units with pier passes, city-center homes with walkable access to restaurants or waterfront homes that have their own kiteboarding launching areas. You should prioritize your proximity to the adventures and landmarks you are most looking forward to.
• Property management companies and individual rental home owners commonly offer their clients an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the basic stay rate, offers vacationers reimbursement of their rental costs for any days missed as a consequence of medical-related emergencies or hurricanes, in addition to ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline.

Searching for and reserving the right rental:

Before you book "A Place at the Beach Ocean Front Property! Beautifully updated! 3 Full Bathrooms", examine our brief checklist of points to consider.

Search Early and Frequently

New Bern vacation rentals are reserved many months (and up to a year) in advance. Booking your rental 6-12 months in advance is recommended, when possible. A lot of groups prefer to start their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve holiday gatherings.

Pick your Town and Vacation Week

Oftentimes, the most challenging portion of scheduling your trip is deciding where to go, and when. Once the big decisions are resolved, everything else is simplier and easier.

Just How Many Bedrooms?

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you need? Remember that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living room. It is important to determine what is suitable for the group. Generally rental listings will describe each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Stick to a Budget

Does your selected rental fit your budget during that popular Summer week? Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from family and friends well before booking a costly vacation property. One member of your company will have to be responsible for collecting payments and acknowledging responsibility for the whole rental cost at time of booking.

Its All About Amenities

What home features is the group trying to find? Is a screened porch a necessity? Does the unit need to be beach front, downtown, or close to shopping? Will the home have bikes and beach toys available for use throughout your stay? Build a list of priority features to guide filter your search.

Accessability

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to make sure the rental home has everything required. If something is missing, the vacation rental management company might know of comparable properties that better fit your style and budget..

Some rental owners will negotiate rates, and some will not. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. This is most effective throughout the off-season when many rental homes sit empty.
