Costa del Sol's fairest rental model

Simple, transparent pricing.
More money for owners.

Today on the Costa del Sol, owners lose up to 44% of every booking to Airbnb fees and agency commissions. We fix that. We charge 10% total — split equally — so owners keep 90% and guests pay less too.

Frequently Asked

Do I have to be exclusive to Rental Central?
No — and this is important to us. You can keep your Airbnb, Booking.com or VRBO listings running. Our iCal sync automatically blocks dates across all platforms to prevent double bookings. You own your property and your relationships.
Who pays for cleaning supplies and linen?
Cleaning supplies are covered within our management fee. Linen and towels are provided by us and included in the service. If you prefer to provide your own premium linen, we can work with that too — just let us know during onboarding.
What happens if a guest damages the property?
Every booking requires a security deposit (held via Stripe). Our runner documents the property condition at check-out with timestamped photos. Any damage is deducted from the deposit before it's returned. We handle the claim process on your behalf.
Can I block dates for my own use?
Absolutely — always and for free. Log into your owner dashboard, select any dates and block them with one click. Your property is yours. We just manage it when it's available for rental.
What if I already have a lock installed?
If you have a compatible smart lock (Yale, Nuki, Tedee or similar), we can integrate it into our system instead of installing a new one. If it's not compatible, we'll replace it as part of your onboarding package — we want the system to work flawlessly.
How quickly do I get paid after a booking?
Payouts are processed automatically via Stripe Connect within 3–5 business days of guest check-out. You'll receive 95% of the nightly rate directly to your bank account. No chasing invoices, no delays.
What's the minimum contract period?
There is no minimum contract period. We operate on a rolling monthly basis for management fees. We believe if we're doing a great job, you'll stay — no lock-in required. You can pause or exit with 30 days notice.
Do you handle the tourist tax (ECOT)?
Yes — we collect the Andalucía tourist tax (ECOT) from guests and handle the submission on your behalf as part of our management service. We ensure your property remains fully compliant with local short-term rental regulations.
