Save time by automating your guest screening process

Vacation rental guest screening is a vital part of any business. It ensures that only legitimate guests get access to your rental properties. The best way property managers can do this is through continuous authentication. 

This involves checking the validity of each guest’s data against multiple sources, ensuring that no fraudulent activity takes place.
