HotelsCasa

A free program from HotelsCasa for car rental companies and tour organizers

HotelsCasa has developed a free program for small companies that rent out cars or run tours. We made it for those who don't have much money to pay every month for expensive booking systems: when rentals or tours are going badly, every fixed fee is a burden. That is why we created a program to help such companies — it can be used free of charge, with no monthly fee.

Your booking system. No monthly fee.

Run your car rental or tour business, take bookings and online payments, sync your calendar and present your business to customers from different countries.

No monthly fee. No mandatory exclusivity. No need to give up other platforms.

You sign up on your own and pay a commission only for confirmed bookings received through HotelsCasa.

16 languages · Calendar and booking sync · Online payment · Your company's own page

Three principles

No fixed costs

You start without a monthly commitment: no sign-up fee and no monthly fee.

No mandatory dependence

Work on other platforms too and connect compatible booking systems: the calendar syncs by iCal.

A shared interest in results

We earn a commission when a confirmed booking arrives, not for you using the software.

Terms

  • Cars: 5 % of the total rental price, plus VAT (21 %, only for companies in Spain), at least €10. You pay the commission and it comes out of your price: it is not added on top. Extras the customer pays you at pick-up carry no commission.
  • Tours: 10 % of the tour price, plus VAT (21 %, only for companies in Spain). You pay the commission and it comes out of your price.
  • When: only for a confirmed booking through HotelsCasa. With payment at pick-up, when booking the customer pays by card the part of your price that covers the commission, and the rest to you. With online payment, we keep the commission from the amount and transfer the rest to you.
  • There are no other mandatory payments. Currency conversion costs, if any, are deducted from the payout. Online verification of the driver's documents (€1.40 per request) is optional.
  • If the customer cancels or does not show up, the commission is not refunded. If the provider does not deliver the service, the customer gets everything back.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

There is no monthly fee. A commission only per confirmed booking through HotelsCasa: cars, 5 % of the rental price plus VAT (21 %, only for companies in Spain), at least €10; tours, 10 % plus VAT (21 %, only for companies in Spain). You pay the commission and it is included in your price. There are no other mandatory payments; currency conversion costs, if any, are deducted from the payout.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything works in the browser, on a computer and on a phone.

Do I need help to get started?

You sign up on your own and add your cars or tours, prices and free dates. If anything is unclear, each feature page has step-by-step instructions and support answers 24 hours a day by ticket.

Can I work on other platforms?

Yes. There is no exclusivity. The calendar syncs by iCal in both directions, so the same date is never sold twice.

How do I get paid?

Cars: with online payment the customer pays everything by card or PayPal; the amount is held and charged when you confirm; you receive the rest, minus the commission, within 3 working days after handing over the car (Stripe, PayPal or Wise transfer, depending on the country). With payment at pick-up the customer pays online only the part of your price that covers the commission, and the rest to you. Tours: the traveller pays 10 % online and the rest to you on the day; or the full amount with Stripe and your price minus the commission (10 % + VAT only for companies in Spain) reaches your account.

What if I already have a booking system?

We connect it. RentHub (cars): prices, availability and bookings go into your system. Bókun, FareHarbor and Bookeo (tours): dates, spots and prices update on their own and paid bookings go into your system. Regiondo: dates and spots every 6 hours. iCal: booked dates in both directions. The garage API is read-only.

In which languages is my page?

16 languages are available now. Your texts are translated into them automatically. We keep adding languages.

Are my phone number and email published?

No. The customer contacts you through the booking chat; your contact details are not published on your page or in listings.
