Money Saving Rental Tips

• Search for the tourism bureau where you want to travel. Most official tourism bureaus will offer you guides with special deals for lodging, dining and tours. Search for these guides and discount books, because this allows vacation goers to enjoy the very same wonderful activities at a possibly considerable discounted.
• Flexible about when you might visit? Off-peak times offer up substantive savings.
• Are you a armed forces veteran? Many management companies offer markdowns to vets and active-duty military. Be sure to confirm with vacation rental company to see if your vacationing group is eligible for a discounted rate.
• Is there a certain experience you are mainly longing for ? If there's a specific Hilton Head activity which you just love, look for properties that cater especially to you.
• Property management companies and individual property owners commonly offer clients an option to purchase trip insurance coverage. Trip insurance, which generally costs somewhere between 1% - 5% of the base vacation rental cost, offers guests reimbursement of their trip expenses for any days missed as a consequence of health-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing extra hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel room stay or additional gasoline. Trip insurance can be a bank account-saver if the unforseen occurs (heaven forbid!).

Generally speaking, one person in the group will be in charge of making the whole reservation and getting each party's share.

Create a list of "Wants" and "Necessities"

What property features is your family trying to find? Are you looking for a rental with outdoor kitchen? Are you more interested in wildlife or night life? Will the unit have bicycles and body boards available for use as part of your stay? Make a list of "needs and wishes" from your party to help filter your search to the most appropriate rental.

During your Stay

• Photograph on your arrival. To ensure no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any trouble spots of the property. Contact the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a difference of opinion about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and communication attempts should be helpful.
• If there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, condo access, swimming pool operations, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager promptly. A quick phone call eliminates many hassles.
• Make sure to be a good neighbor. Permanent residents usually live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Natives are a good source of recommendations.
• Don't forget to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation rental secured when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

At the end of your stay

• Double-check every space of the rental property to make sure that you've gathered all valuables.
• Make a point to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damage. If at all possible, do this walk-out inspection with the property owner present. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How do you feel about your choice? Many rental management companies and rental search sites allow renters to give reviews. If the rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will likely appreciate your compliments. If something went wrong, we advise being pleasant but straightforward with regards to rental experience. Top owners and managers will work hard to rectify the problem.
