Re: Anyone had Luck Renting out their Condo on this site? (by Sia F.):
This is my first time on this site and I came here via a banner ad on a travel forum. I just want to point out that I am now going elsewhere (I hate to say it, but yes, CL will be my next stop), simply because as a person looking for a rental for late summer, I refuse to sign up and pay $14.99 in order to obtain contact information for rental properties. I don't have any information or statistics to share on advertising, rental rates, etc, but it seems like common sense that in today's economy, when every dollar counts, paying $14.99 for information one can obtain elsewhere for free, doesn't make much sense. I'm not much of a web surfer and I don't have the time or patience to check 50 some odd sites to get an outrageously good deal,and I honestly would have most likely booked something from this site had I not had to pay the sign up fee. Just sharing this on the off chance it may make a difference to the owners of the site. Perhaps consider giving a new member a first timer trial? I might feel more inclined to sign up as a customer who had a wonderful experience having rented from this site. Good luck and I wish all of you a happy and healthy year.
