Six Reasons To Accept Credit Cards from Travelers

More than a just convenience for your renters-- it makes your life much easier!
 
Credit cards have become the universally accepted mechanism for purchasing travel. Vacationers expect to use a credit card. If you do not accept credit cards, your renters may look elsewhere.
Here six benefits to accepting credit cards:
  1. No more waiting for “the check is in the mail” to verify that a booking is solid;
  2. Close on a rental even if you are traveling and unable to receive your mail;
  3. Process rental payments, security deposits and deposit refunds instantly over the Internet;
  4. Funds available in your own bank account within 24-48 hrs.;
  5. For international guests and owners, avoid the inconvenience of renters having to obtain and send money abroad.;
  6. Accepting credit cards gives your renters added comfort that you and your property are legitimate;
  7. Safe, fast and inexpensive.
