Listings |
15,000 plus |
Cyber Rentals is a large vacation rentals site with more than
15,000
listings. |
|
Category |
US with lots of International |
Cyber Rentals is a US based vacation rentals
site, although it has significant vacation rental
listings in Europe as well. |
|
Visitor Traffic |
High |
Cyber Rentals was reported to have lost visitor
traffic during the transition to the WVR Group, as
it's search engine rankings declined. However, recent
reports indicate that visitors are returning. See the above chart for their latest Alexa traffic ranking.
We are currently trialing a
vacation rental in France and have several
enquiries. Since Cyberrentals primary focus is
the US, we consider this a good result. |

Ease of Use for Advertisers |
Medium |
Set up of your vacation rental property on
Cyberrentals is relatively easy, although not quite
as intuitive as some other vacation rental sites. We had
some problems getting photos set up due to not
understanding the process : once this was highlighted,
Cyberrentals were very quick to resolve.
Cyberrentals has good facilities for
managing and tracking your enquiries, including the
ability to search by name or date. However, Cyberrentals
does not provide information on the number of times your
vacation rental property has been viewed. |
|
Ease of use for Renters |
Medium |
Cyber Rentals has good search facilities,
including an "advanced search"
to specify details about the property and location you
are looking for.
Cyberrentals does not save enquiry
information, so you need to re-enter your details when
placing enquiries about multiple properties. We also
found the response time on Cyberrentals slow although we may have been
just unlucky with the times we were searching for
properties. |
|
Cost |
$148/year |
Cyber Rentals is not the cheapest option, but as one of the market
leaders in the vacation rentals market, Cyber Rentals is
reasonably priced for the services offered. |
