The best way to save on "booking fees" is to rent directly from an owner. The highest booking fees seem to be on websites such as VRBO, AirBnB, Booking.com, Expedia, etc. But, our research also shows that fees charged by many "vacation rental management companies" include charging "add-on fees" that are, in essence, a form of "booking fees". We suggest that you look at "the bottom-line" when you book a condo for your vacation. Many times, the beginning of a search will show what appears to be a lower nightly cost, BUT by the time you complete the booking your total cost per night increases significantly. Some rental companies do not even provide a breakdown of the fees until AFTER you have paid for the booking. Wow, that is not too consumer-friendly. You should also take into consideration whether your condo comes with special perks such as free beach chair service or not. Complimentary beach chair service can save you $190 to $220 weekly at Indigo.
