Renting platform Zumper is set to launch a short-term alternative for vacation and monthly rentals.
The new product will offer short-term rental owners and managers a dedicated experience to advertise their properties, including features including a mobile-first approach, calendar integration and 3D tour integrations.
The product is currently in BETA testing and is expected to launch in Q3 of this year.
Taylor Glass-Moore, co-founder at Zumper, said:
“There is a massive need to provide more short-term rental options for both renters and owners alike. Consumers want access to the best long- and short-term rentals available. And landlords and property managers want a fully booked calendar, without all the high fees.
“Zumper’s product is designed to meet today’s flexible world by providing more access to renters, while delivering cost-effective leads for owners and property managers nationwide.”
Meanwhile, the company is currently offering property managers and owners who sign up before 1 July 2022 free bookings until 31 August 2022.
Zumper has over $178m in funding with, fittingly, 178m annual users. It is the largest privately owned rental portal in the United States, and the third largest renting platform in the US and Canada.
