With HomeExchange, you won't be making money directly by renting out your home. Tip: Invite friends to travel or host with Innclusive and you'll get a $20 credit when they travel and $80 when they host. The site lists entire homes or apartments, private rooms and shared rooms and charges a percentage of the price that you charge guests. Names and photos aren't divulged until after the booking, so there's no opportunity for discrimination, and, as a host, you'll need to be welcoming to all types of people. Innclusive has branded itself as a non-discriminatory site, and almost all of their listings can be booked and instantly approved. Tip: Although other types of properties are offered, the greatest percentage of Airbnb-style listings on are for apartments, so take care to make your listing stand out. Property owners pay a 15% fee of the price paid by the renter. Unlike many other Airbnb alternatives – as well as Airbnb itself – doesn't charge a guest service fee, which it says makes it more attractive to renters. The site says listing your property can take as little as 15 minutes. Explore ī is primarily known for hotel bookings, but has branched out into apartments, homes and other properties. Tip: HomeAway says you'll generally save money with the annual subscription if your property is rented more than six weeks a year. An annual subscription costs $499, while the commission fee starts at 8%. The site has two pricing options for owners – an annual subscription which allows unlimited bookings, and a free listing option where you pay a commission fee per booking. Listings can include studio apartments, townhomes and even boats.

HomeAway accepts listings only for entire properties, so if you only want to rent a room, you'll have to look elsewhere.
