Reservation processing

Instant booking process

Trip.com pushes reservations in Rentals United after performing a quote request and receiving a confirmation that the reservation is possible.

  1. A guest enters the reservation page on the Trip.com website and provides the details of a reservation (dates, number of guests etc.).

  2. Trip.com checks with Rentals United if the property is available for the selected dates and number of guests.

  3. Rentals United confirms if the property is available or not.

    Note: Quote response price for Trip.com does not include taxes and fees.

  4. If the property is available to rent, the guest completes the reservation process on the Trip.com website by providing their personal data.

  5. Trip.com inserts a booking to Rentals United.

Request-to-book (N/A)

Booking request process is not possible on the Trip.com website.

Inserting reservation manually

It is always possible to insert reservation manually in Rentals United Guest Planner or from the Bookings tab. In such a case, the availability is blocked and the channel is updated.

Note: Trip.com will not have access to the details of any reservation inserted manually.

Reservation details

When a reservation arrives, theSales Channel provides the standard guest information (such as name, surname, and phone number) along with booking details including the property name, number of guests, stay dates, and price. All of this information is available in Guest Planner > Big Card.
