One problem for holidaymakers renting electric cars is that the charging infrastructure in rural areas isn't as thorough as it is on the UK's motorways.
Airbnb owner claims holiday makers running cables out the window is theft if electricity.
🤣 I really, really don’t get the appeal of airbnb… It’s like the worst part of homeownership, while also paying hotel prices. From cleaning rooms to now paying for electricity… What is even the point? Not to mention whenever I check the prices they are basically on par with hotels. Absolutely bananas.
It used to be a cheap and awesome alternative to hotels. You could rent a house for the price of a hotel. Or rent a room for far cheaper than a hotel. Now, greed took over, everyon wanted to get in on it, and it is much less reliable and trustworthy than it was before. I don’t even check AirBNB anymore, just opt for hotels
Depends on where you live and what you rent. Here, in France, it’s a lot cheaper to rent a full house for a week vacation for 2 families (let’s say 4 adults 5 kids) than renting 2 or 3 hotel rooms.
Also at Airbnb you have a full house with commodities which you don’t at an hotel. So to the price of the room you need to add restaurants and laundry costs.
There are alternatives in France, other renting networks which predate Airbnb. But Airbnb killed the market because it’s so easy for the renter and the owner
We had two families staying at a house with a pool. We had a kitchen and plenty of room for everyone. I still think it makes sense in certain cases. The extra electric charge at this property was out of the ordinary, but I suspect the pool had a heater which used a lot of power.
