Whether you're a busy homeowner dabbling in vacation rentals or a full-fledged property manager, the check-in process can often be a tedious and time-consuming task. Wouldn't it be wise to automate this process, save time, money, and enhance your guests' experience?
That's where RentalWise steps in. With the help of our partner Chekin, managing check-ins becomes a breeze, offering a number of features to streamline the process and ensure legal compliance.
Chekin is a platform designed to simplify the check-in process for vacation rental owners and property managers, saving you time and money. It imports your reservation details and guest information, setting up automatic triggers to send your guests the necessary information for a seamless check-in.
Chekin also integrates with local police in Europe and remote access solutions, allowing automatic transmission of guest information to the police and offering self-check-in for your guests. Plus, with the newly launched Upselling feature, generating extra revenue has never been easier!
Now, you might be wondering how Chekin can cater to your specific needs. Let's delve into the details.
Guest Registration & Compliance
In many European countries, vacation rental owners must register their guests with the police. Chekin simplifies this process by sending your guests a registration form, collecting the necessary information, and automatically forwarding it to the local police. You'll also receive a digital guestbook copy for your records.
Rental Agreement & Guest ID Verification
For peace of mind about who's staying in your rental, Chekin offers an identity verification tool. It asks your guests to scan their ID and take a selfie to confirm their identity. The platform will automatically import your guest details from your RentalWise account, sending them an email with the request and a link to complete the online check-in form. You can also attach a rental agreement and request a digital signature from your guest.
Online Payment & Tourist Tax
Calculating tourist tax can be a headache, with variations depending on the country, city, rental type, and even the guests' age. With Chekin, you can input your property details and guest information, and the tourist tax is automatically calculated. A payment request is then sent to your guest via email, allowing them to complete the payment through the platform.
Self Check-in & Remote Access
One of the most time-consuming aspects of managing a vacation rental is meeting your guest at check-in. Chekin integrates several remote access solutions, enabling your guests to self-check-in, saving you the cross-town trek. They offer virtual keys, key security boxes, and key pick-up options.
Upselling & Guest Experience
For an exceptional guest experience, you can upsell! This feature not only enhances your guests' stay but also allows you to sell experiences at an extra cost, boosting your revenue. You can offer a variety of experiences, from local tours to vineyard visits, or create your own unique experiences.
Chekin Pricing
Chekin understands that every rental business is unique and offers flexible pricing options to meet your specific needs. They offer three pricing tiers: Starter, Basic, and Pro plans, with monthly and annual options. The pricing depends on your chosen plan and the number of properties you manage. Each tier gives you access to different features of the platform.
All plans come with 24/7 email support and a 14-day free trial, allowing you to experience the benefits of using Chekin firsthand. Their flexible pricing options ensure you choose the right plan for your business without breaking the bank.
