THINKUING ABOUT MAUI VACATION Are you planning your Maui vacation but a bit unsure about how the vacation rental booking process works? We’ve come up with the following tips to help you safely book your Maui vacation homes for rent on-line as you explore your accommodation options for your dream vacation on Maui.
In Maui, it is required for owners to have a Hawaii Tax ID on all listing sites as well as in their condo. Ensure that the owner’s listing has this license number. It will look like GE-056-906-5472-01 or TA-056-906- 5472-01. TIP 1
TIP2 ASK FOR THE OWNER’S PHONE NUMBER. DOES IT MATCH THE ONE ON THE LISTING? MAKE SURE TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON ON THE PHONE AND ASK THEM ABOUT THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN COMPARE THE DESCRIPTION WITH ONLINE PHOTOS.
TIP3 ASK FOR THE OWNER’S LINKEDIN PROFILE. IT’S HARD TO FAKE 100 BUSINESS CONTACTS. IF THEY ARE NOT ON LINKEDIN, TRY FACEBOOK OR TWITTER. TIP4 NEVER PAY VIA WIRE TRANSFER TO AN OFF-SHORE ACCOUNT. MANY OWNERS WILL ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS AND CHECKS. SOME WILL DO A WIRE TRANSFER, BUT IF SO, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SWIFT CODE AND ROUTING NUMBER, ACCOUNT NUMBER, NAME ON THE ACCOUNT AND OF COURSE THE BANK’S NAME. YOU CAN THEN HAVE YOUR BANK VERIFY THE ACCOUNT AND MAKE SURE THE NAMES MATCH.
Use the BOOK NOW button on the listing you want to book on Vacation-Maui.com It is the safest way to be sure you are dealing with the actual owner. The forms are widgets and much harder to alter than a displayed email address or phone number. TIP5
TIP6 VERIFY THE OWNERSHIP WITH VACATION RENTAL COMPANY.
TIP7 Scammers do not go through the trouble of getting a unique website or Facebook page for their vacation rentals. If you see that a vacation rental has a website, Facebook page and phone number chances are that you’re working with the owner. TIP8 Make sure you are given the name and contact information of the on-island contact. All vacation rentals in Hawaii require an on-island contact. If the owner lives on Oahu, but their rental is on Maui, they need an on-island contact.
TIP9 Check for reviews for the condo. If the website / listing doesn’t have any ask the owner.
Tip10 The best rule of thumb, if the deal seems too good to be true, it very well may be a fake.
