rentcalendar stopped working

Post by janskov »

I have been happy with rentcalendar and now it has stopped working. It is not possible to update and not possible to add new calendars.

No response to emails - so what now? Free sites and services are always a problem because you can't expect something for nothing.

I am now prepared to pay a reasonable amount for a rental calendar service and I don't need any fancy bells and whistles, but they must be able to integrate into my own website - no jumping off to other sites.

There are two potential sites that I am considering.
http://www.availcheck.com/ - 10 GBP per year
http://www.booking-tracker.com/ - 20 GBP per year

Has anybody here experience with integration and service of the two sites?

Yup! I use Rentcalendar too....stopped! I've fired off an e-mail too! Am especially disappointed as they have a Tucow rating! Looking at changing to Availacheck and paying for it!

I have also had problems with Rentcalendar - thought it was me!!!!
- sent them a couple of emails about the problem but no response.

Have now changed to Availcheck - happy with it so far - may decide to upgrade it and pay the £10 annual cost for better support.
I love Wales - but oh the rain........

It will be http://www.booking-tracker.com/ for me.

I played around with integrating both my options and then the decision wasn't difficult.

Mine is - so far - just a simple integration, and I have emailed with a guy who made the same choice and now have a very good lay-out on his web site http://www.hausstefanie.nl/beschikbaarheid.htm

Rentcanedar.com appears to be operational again, I have checked from time to time over the last few weeks and today I was able to edit my availability :D

Good news then, but I have to say I was a little disappointed that they didn't seem to bother to respond when I e-mailed them :(

Cheers
Tim
