rental systems

can one use rental systems just to accept credit card bookings?
-they charge 2% including credit card fee? sounds good, better than paypal
- as we ask only 20% upfront and the rest cash on arrival, do they ask for their 2% on the whole booking or jut the money they prcess?
thanks :wink:

Soldomus, you could try Squaremouth . They offer 20% affiliate commission for affiliates or travellers from a wide range of countries to a similar number of destinations.

Insurance for guests

I manage a few properties and guests occasionally ask me whether we offer or reccommend travel insurance. How do you handle this? Does anyone have a good insurance that accepts cover for guests from any part of Europe (and possibly gives commission...) Thanks
