BOOK A VACATION PROPERTY

Once you have selected your ideal vacation property, review all the details including your travel dates and rental costs. If you like what you see, you are now ready to confirm property availability. Once availability is confirmed, you can then make your booking reservation.

1. First, you need to confirm if your selected vacation property is available for your requested dates. You can do this by clicking Check Availability – located on your Shopping Cart page or the Property Details page.
   
   
2. After you click Check Availability, your request will be sent to the property owner. Once confirmed, you will be notified by email.
   
   

   (2a)  If your email confirmation tells you that the property is not available for your requested dates, you may select another property to request availability.
   

   Note: when indicating your specific travel dates to check for availability, you also have the option to include any travel date flexibilities to further increase the chances for availability.
   

   (2b)  If your email confirmation tells you that the property is available, you will be prompted to return to your shopping cart on bcvacationproperties.com to respond. You will need to login first to get to your shopping cart. From here, you can review the property details again and click “Book This Property” to request a reservation booking.
   

   Note: Once you receive notice that the property is available, you should not delay to login to bcvacationproperties.com to book the property. Otherwise, the property may no longer be available if too much time passes.
   
   

3. If you select Book This Property, your request will be confirmed by email. Once confirmed, your booking reservation is finalized.

BOOK A VACATION PROPERTY - PAYMENT

Each property owner lists their own published rental rates and policies. BC Vacation Properties does not add any additional fees to those charged by the owner. Based on your specified travel dates, the following rate information is included with each property:

• Total nightly, weekly or monthly rate
• Extra occupant fee (if applicable)
• Extra pet fee (if applicable)
• Cleaning fee (if applicable)
• Sub total
• Standard booking fee (paid by owner)
• Reservation deposit amount (plus taxes, if required)
• Future balance due amount (plus taxes, if required)

Once you have indicated your travel dates, you will see the actual total rental rate and any other applicable charges. You will also be given details regarding how much the reservation deposit will be and the future billing balance due.

After you have received an email confirmation that the property requested is available for your stated travel dates, you have the option to request a booking. To confirm a booking, you click “Book This Property” and you will be prompted to provide your contact and credit card information. This information is provided to the property owner or agent only after they have agreed to your reservation by email.

Once your booking is confirmed, the property owner or agent will contact you directly. You, the renter, will receive an emailed letter of confirmation along with the property owner or agent’s contact information. From this point forward, you may direct all communications between you and the property owner or agent.

Your credit card will be charged a standard 10% booking fee. This fee is not an additional fee to you, the renter. The property owner absorbs this fee by collecting only 90% of the balance owing.

The property owner or agent will charge your credit card for the agreed and specified reservation deposit or total amount due at the time of booking. Any additional payment requirements are handled directly between the renter and the property owner or agent.

Note: The renter’s personal and credit card information is on an encrypted and secure page for safe transmission over the internet. We collect this information for the sole purpose of providing it to the property owner to secure the renter’s booking of that property.
