Booking a villa rental on inthemed.com

Find a villa using inthemed.com

First browse through our database of villas and choose a couple that you would like to enquire further about. Then simply contact the owner via the online form (email owner button), or directly by telephone. If you are phoning you will probably speak to the property owner, who should be able to answer all your questions.

Contact the villa owner

Make contact with the villa owner and don't be afraid to ask for the names and telephone numbers of previous holidaymakers who are prepared to provide a reference for the owner. Before sending any money make sure you get confirmation in writing of the dates of your booking, the agreed price and any extras that may or may not be included in the rental price (e.g. pool heating). This will form your contract with the villa owner and is essential in the unlikely event that there is dispute. Be sure to check the owners policy for damage or breakages. This may be in the form of a returnable deposit.

Check to see if there is a local agent who will act on the owners behalf in case you have any problems whilst on holiday. Most villa owners require a deposit immediately whilst in some cases the owner may require the whole amount especially if booking near the time of travel. If you need to pay in a foreign currency your bank will be able to issue a cheque in that currency for a small charge.

Finding a flight

The first port of call is the villa owner, who maybe able to suggest a suitable company to provide air transport for you, they may even be able to make arrangement for you. Of course there is no problem with you doing it yourself. Make sure to check the airline web site for latest booking information. You may like to try these companies:

Insurance

Ensure that your insurance covers you from the moment you book your villa or flights. Also remember to take an E111 (available from major Post Office's) if you are travelling to another EU country as this may entitle you to free medical treatment.

Car hire and additional information

It may be best to book car rental in advance. You will usually need to produce your full driving licence and passport when picking the car up. Remember to ask for details of where you will pick your car up. Will it be from the outside the airport terminal or from a nearby sales office?

Remember to check your passports well in advance to ensure they have not expired. Remember that children may also require their own passport. Remember to also check if you require a visa for entry into the country you are visiting.
