Don’t let booking requests go unanswered

There’s nothing worse for a guest than to see their booking requests expire or for their messages to go unanswered for days.

To avoid unnecessary guest frustrations and be considered a top host on RVezy, you should always accept, decline, or respond to your booking request within 24 hours.

Communication is key

Communicating with potential guests before accepting their booking requests is a great way to ensure both you and your guests get the most out of the platform. The more proactive you are about responding to guest requests, the higher your RV will show up in the RVezy search. The best part? Responding to a request only takes a few seconds.

Not getting quality booking requests? Here are a couple of quick tips:

• Update your description to set better expectations for your guests. For example, if you’re only looking for guests with towing experience or don’t want people going on cross-country trips, it’s best to put your rental requirements front and center in your description.
• Not interested in two-day trips? Adjust your minimum night stay to three nights or more. Remember, your RV will only show up when the RV search meets your criteria!

Block dates within your calendar

Whether you want to use your RV for personal use, you’ve rented it out on another platform, or you won’t be available to manage bookings, it’s important to block off dates when your RV isn’t available for rentals.

To be a top RVezy host and have your RV show up at the top of the search, you need to keep your calendar updated. Declining multiple RV rentals because you forgot to update your calendar isn’t a great experience for guests and something you want to avoid.

When you go in and update your calendar, don’t forget to increase your price for long weekends and holidays. Top RVezy hosts typically increase their nightly price by 20% for high-demand periods.

Add more pictures to your listing

You’ve probably heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

But how about five pictures are worth a 1,000% increase in booking requests?

It’s true. We dug through the most profitable RV listings and hundreds of thousands of booking requests and realized that listings with five or more pictures had the best results by far.

The single most important thing hosts can do is add more pictures to their listing.

Now let’s not forget that quality is as important as quantity.

Take time to add photos that will help potential guests visualize themselves in your RV. Well-lit images taken from multiple angles will help showcase the spaces where guests will spend most of their time, like the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area.

Keep in mind, good photos can be the difference between making $3,000 a season to $30,000 a season.
