Edited Press Release

Zonder announces a new site designed to meet the growing needs of consumers and property managers in the vacation rental market. According to Zonder.com it is the first vacation rental site to show exact nightly rates and exclusive last-minute deals directly within the search results. Zonder offers customers the ability to search through tens of thousands of vacation rentals using an enhanced search engine or detailed regional maps. Zonder has worked extensively with its network of professional property managers to bring customers exclusive access to thousands of last-minute specials that can only be found on zonder.com. Additionally, Zonder has added over 120,000 enhanced property photos and descriptions giving consumers the ability to quickly and accurately evaluate properties to find the vacation rental of their dreams.

“Introducing exact rates and last-minute deals directly within the search results are two firsts in the vacation rental market and two innovations we’re very proud of,” said Zonder CEO, Bob Barnes. “We’re also excited to make these innovations available to other websites through our robust partner platform,” Barnes continued.

Zonder's new design

According to Zonder, it has solved the historic problem of not being able to book last minute vacation rentals. By leveraging its relationships with hundreds of property managers, Zonder has made last-minute bookings available on over half of its inventory. To further attract last-minute travelers, Zonder now offers nearly 10,000 properties with last-minute discounts of up to 30%. Customers can even filter search results to only show deals, making Zonder the fastest and easiest way for consumers to save big on vacation rentals.

Zonder also unveils its new search engine with the ability to quickly and easily filter results using a variety of criteria such as price, sleeping capacity, proximity to a beach and a number of amenities like a pool or hot tub. Customers can also save properties to their favorites list, remove unwanted properties from their search results, browse through properties directly on an interactive map and email them to their friends. Zonder even offers relevant suggestions of destinations and vacation rentals just outside of a user’s search criteria that they may also want to consider. On zonder.com, customers can book vacation rentals instantly with a simple, one-step booking process. Zonder’s professionally managed properties are backed by the Zonder Guarantee and rental experts are available 24×7 to help travelers find and book the perfect rental.
