The Savings of Booking Direct
Are you tired of paying high booking fees and commissions with mid-term rentals? At Furnished Finder, we believe in keeping things simple and transparent. In our marketplace, travelers and landlords get to book direct, ensuring the best value possible.
When you book through other rental platforms, tenants and landlords both encounter hidden fees or additional charges that can quickly add up. These platforms often rely on commissions, which means that both renters and landlords have to shoulder the burden of these costs. By booking directly, you can eliminate these unnecessary expenses and save your hard-earned money.
Travel Nurse Salary, Stipend, and the Impact of Booking Fees
Travel Nurses are roughly one-third of the travelers that use Furnished Finder to find mid-term rental housing. Let's take a look at how booking fees affect their budget. *Note that these are estimates and provided solely to reflect the impact of booking fees, not for comparison or salary research.

Traveling professionals waste thousands of dollars in booking fees every year when using platforms like AirBNB!
The Impact of Booking Fees for Landlords
You may think that booking fees only impact the traveler, however this is simply not true. Platforms like AirBNB also charge a fee to the property owner. This charge can be 3% or higher.
Using the same comparison as above, a property owner would pay nearly $500 in AirBNB fees, compared to just $179 per year on Furnished Finder.
All too often, property owners think that AirBNB is "free" for them when that is simply not true. With fee after fee, both landlords and travelers are losing money when they book through AirBNB or similar platforms.
