Vacation Rental Company HomeAway Raises Monster Money

Vacation Rental Company HomeAway Raises Monster Money Rodger November 11

In more rental funding news, vacation rental HomeAway raises a monster round of funding as reported by TechCrunch. Through acquisitions, they’ve come to own the vacation rental market. It’s the largest injection of cash since 2000, quite a testament.

Although iLetYou is not a vacation rental company, I did find it interesting that CEO Brian Sharples says in this ABC News post that the bet is that vacation rentals will increase as people look to generate revenue from their vacation homes with the difficult economy (paraphrase). Vacationers benefit from rates that can be lower, such as an alternative to a family renting a hotel room for a week.

The holistic benefits of rental cuts across all rental categories. Wasteful practices only helped get us into this economic mess.

More choice is always better, so we simply aim to provide more new rental options than anyone at iLetYou. Don’t buy when you can rent, for your pocketbook and to cut waste. We think rental is an outstanding option in so many cases, for so many products.

Any way iLetYou helps consumers find goods more cost effectively and efficiently based on their exact needs is good news to us.
