Monaker Group's instant booking vacation rental platform goes live

January 27, 2019

Vacation rental proptech giant, Monaker Group, Inc., has recently reported that another two travel distribution partners have integrated completely with the Monaker Booking Engine (MBE), which will enable them to search and instantly book from Monaker's inventory of over one million contracted vacation rental properties.

These two partners, one in North America and the other in Europe, are hotel and lodging consolidators that bring the total number of partners using MBE to seven established distributors now live. Monaker expects more of its 24 contracted distributors to complete their MBE integration and go live within the month.

The MBE API gives Monaker's integrated travel distributors and their partners the ability to book vacation rentals within their own platforms. 

Because the Monaker inventory bookings are instantly confirmed, customers can seamlessly book flight, car, and other travel reservations as a complete package, instead of waiting hours or days for a response from property owners.

"As more travel distributors come on board and go live," said Monaker CEO Bill Kerby, "we know how important it is to keep expanding the number of vacation rental properties available to their booking agents. We continue to work on expanding Monaker's global inventory of vacation rental homes, villas, chalets, apartments, condos, resort residences, and even castles."

MBE offers travel distributors and agencies an industry first: a customizable, instant-booking platform for alternative lodging.
