StaySavr+ Extension

StaySavr promotes direct contact between guests and accommodation providers. For both vacation rentals and hotels.

Direct contact means that guests can get the full details of the accommodation and ask any questions direct to the owner. Asking those questions to a call-center doesn't help one bit!

For the accommodation provider, it means getting to know your guests before they arrive and building trust.

For owners and guests, it means avoiding fees and commission that typically add 20% to the cost of renting or at least 15% to the cost of booking a hotel room.

The middlemen (Online Travel Agent) sites are waging an ugly advertising war and the guests end up paying! With StaySavr, we are actively discouraging the advertising war by refusing to pay for it.

One day, sanity will return to the market and the OTAs will return to being advertising platforms. Until then... there is StaySavr+

New update November 2023: For many months, the extension only worked marginally on hotel sites. Now, that has been fully fixed and Orbitz.com and Agoda.com have been added. Contact information is shown for about 90% of hotels.

SWLinPHX (ID: 000000b71165092e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2019 Back to basics! Now you as a guest/traveler can talk to the owner/manager directly before booking and ONLY pay what they charge and receive. That means NO service fees, NO added taxes and NO processing fees! This is one of those apps/extensions that seems too good to be true -- but in this case it's not. It's just an industry secret -- one that you have now finally discovered.

Renan Aguiar (ID: 000000f35ad27f9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/30/2018 The best extension for travelers! Cheaper bookings for free?? I'm in!

icon

Peter Luscher (ID: 000000320aaed46c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/13/2018 Brilliant. A must-have extension for any traveler looking to stay at a vacation rental property. Contact the owner directly and save up 15-25%.

icon

Tim Krug (ID: 0000001351964f5e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2018 A great tool to avoid excessive booking fees on HomeAway/VRBO. Enable the extension, search for a rental property, see the owner's contact info, and book directly to save big $!

Cyndy DeMeter (ID: 000000465d24570d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/30/2018 A breath of fresh air (and hope!) in the market dominated by Homeaway (Expedia), AirBnB, Booking.com and TripAdivsor. Pay attention to this app and save a LOT by booking direct with owners of vacation properties. It's the OWNERS who take care of you - not the big companies!
