VillasDirect.com Launches New UK Website

VillasDirect.com Launches New UK Website
26 January 2015 James Brooke

Customers benefit from live flight and car hire availability and price comparison.

VillasDirect.com has now launched its new online holiday accommodation booking platform.

The holiday accommodation rental website is pioneering development in this fast moving leisure travel sector by offering customers a fully integrated best price and live availability comparison engine for flights (powered by global travel search engine, Skyscanner) and car hire (powered by Carrentals.co.uk). No other property rental website offers this functionality.

The newly launched website allows customers to book holiday properties in real-time, whilst the website checks live flight and car hire prices simultaneously. Results are displayed on the same page giving a total holiday price.

VillasDirect.com locates the nearest departure and destination airports for the traveller and performs a best price and live availability comparison of flights and car hire automatically while the traveller browses for properties.

The site also uses live pricing information from its partners, allowing online booking and payment. A holiday rental can be booked and confirmed immediately with a best price guarantee.

The live flight availability comparison engine on VillasDirect.com is powered by global travel search engine Skyscanner. Available in 30 languages and with over 30 million unique visitors a month, Skyscanner offers a simple, unbiased way to search, compare and book the best flights prices across the world.

VillasDirect.com was founded by Nico and Elkie Nicholas and only offers professionally managed properties, meaning holidaymakers are guaranteed a high level of service, security and quality of property and have local assistance if required. By partnering with the best professional property management companies in the world, VillasDirect.com can currently offer its customers over 80,000 immediately bookable rental properties with all the information they would usually need to complete a holiday booking already at their fingertips.

“We’re excited to launch our new website, which ensures the best possible booking experience for our customers. No other property rental websites offer their customers only professionally managed, quality controlled properties for rent with instant bookings on a live system plus live flight and car hire comparison pricing. These offerings ensure that our customers get the information they need in one place, all with the security and peace of mind you could hope for – we’re proud to be leading the way!” said Nico Nicholas, CEO & Co-Founder of VillasDirect.com.
