Essential Differences about Abritel.fr
Abritel.fr is one of the longest established holiday rentals websites in the world and the format works differently to other HomeAway sites. As such, there will be some key differences between your advert on HomeAway Holiday-Rentals and Abritel.fr:
Your Abritel.fr advert has a different property ID
Your property ID on Abritel has the letter 'a' added to the end of your usual property ID. For example, if your property ID on HomeAway Holiday-Rentals is 12345, on Abritel.fr your property ID will be 12345a.
Your rates will be displayed in Euros
Abritel.fr only allows Euro prices to be shown. If you have set your rates in a different currency on HomeAway Holiday-Rentals, we have converted them to display on Abritel.fr using the current exchange rates.
Your rates will be displayed differently on Abritel.fr
Abritel.fr adverts can only accommodate four different price bands within its availability calendars which relate to low, middle, high and peak season rates. To create your Abritel.fr advert, we have mapped your rental rates to correspond to one of the four Abritel.fr price bands as follows:
- Peak season (Red): the most expensive price band on your rates table
- High season (Orange): the second most expensive price band on your rates table
- Middle season (Yellow): the second least expensive price band on your rates table
- Low season (Green): the lowest price band on your rates table
- If your most commonly used rental rate band is not one of the four price bands we have mapped, it will replace the second (Middle season) price band on your calendar.
Please note: Any available weeks which could not be mapped to one of these price bands are not displayed, but are shown in blue on your Abritel.fr calendar.
Your Google map and some of your descriptive text will not be displayed
Abritel.fr has a different style of property page which does not have enough space to include all the text that is displayed on your HomeAway Holiday-Rentals advert. However, the first paragraph of your property descriptive text will be displayed on your Abritel.fr advert.
Your region may have a different name on Abritel.fr
Abritel.fr is optimised for the French travel market and has a different geographic structure to the other HomeAway sites. This means that in some instances, the region name where your property is placed may be different on Abritel.fr compared to the other HomeAway sites.
