Questions hosts usually ask first

Short answers before you try it

No. RentalBeam works alongside them. You keep your Airbnb and VRBO listings, and RentalBeam syncs from those platforms to show live availability on your own website. It helps you add a direct-booking channel without replacing the OTA workflow you already use.

For most hosts, setup takes about 2 minutes. You copy an iCal export URL from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or another source, paste it into RentalBeam, preview the widget, and embed it on your website.

No. RentalBeam is built for non-technical hosts. You paste in your iCal feed, then copy the embed snippet into any website builder or site that accepts HTML, such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or custom websites.

Yes. The availability calendar widget is free forever on the Free plan. You get 1 calendar, 1 iCal source, a multi-month view, and an embed code. No credit card required.

Yes, with the Pro plan. The booking widget embeds a reservation request form directly on your website. Guests can stay inquiry-first, you can approve the stay and send a secure payment link later, or you can turn on guest card payments when you want guests to pay online.

You copy the calendar export URL from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any platform that supports iCal, paste it into RentalBeam, and the widget automatically fetches blocked dates to show live availability. On Plus and Pro, you can also export one combined iCal feed back out to Google Calendar or OTA calendar imports where supported.

Yes. RentalBeam imports availability from your OTA calendars, and on Plus and Pro you can publish one combined export URL that includes selected sources, blocked dates, and booking data for Google Calendar and OTA calendar imports where iCal import is supported.

Yes. On Plus and Pro, you can manually close specific dates or full date ranges, such as owner stays or maintenance windows, with custom labels and colors. You can include those ranges in a RentalBeam iCal export URL for Google Calendar and OTA calendar imports where iCal import is supported.

Yes. The widget is built to look native to your website, not like a third-party embed. Every calendar supports light, dark, and auto themes, responsive layouts, and 12 display languages. On Plus and Pro you can set custom colors for available, booked, and closed dates, pick a custom widget background, label and color your managed date ranges, and remove RentalBeam branding. On Pro, the booking form and guest emails carry your brand accent color so the whole booking flow matches your site.

Yes, for any day-based rental. Each rental - a home, room, boat, vehicle, or trailer - gets its own availability calendar you can embed, and on Pro a booking form with per-day pricing and the custom fields your checkout needs, including file uploads for a photo ID or license. Hourly time slots are not supported.

Yes. Unit groups combine several rentals - rooms, boats, vehicles, trailers - into one embeddable widget. Visitors see an all-units availability timeline with a per-day count of open units and can switch to any single unit's full calendar. On Pro, the group booking form can let guests pick their dates first and then choose from the units free for those dates, each shown with its photo and its real price for those dates. Groups are available on plans with multiple rentals.

Yes, on Pro. Add a file upload field to the booking form and guests can attach up to 3 images or PDFs (10 MB each) with their request - a photo ID, driver's license, or signed document. Files are stored privately and you view them from the booking in your dashboard.

The embed code works on any platform that accepts HTML, including WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom-built sites. You paste one snippet and the widget appears.

Plus adds custom colors, date blocking, source aggregation up to 10 iCal feeds per calendar, iCal export, sync visibility tools, Google Calendar quick-add, and branding removal. Pro includes everything in Plus, plus the booking form widget with optional pricing display, seasonal pricing, fees, discounts, coupon codes, custom fields, booking rules, multi-currency display, payment links, split payment steps, invoice PDFs with customizable details, and optional guest card payments. Pro takes no commission and no RentalBeam booking fee on your direct bookings - when a guest pays by card, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies, paid to Stripe rather than RentalBeam.

Live availability is just the start.

Free to start, no card required. Paste an iCal link and be live on your own website in about two minutes.

What RentalBeam helps vacation rental hosts do

RentalBeam helps hosts show live availability on their own website with automatic iCal sync from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other iCal sources. The availability calendar is available on the Free plan, while Plus and Pro add more control over sources, managed dates, exports, and sync visibility. On Pro, you can also add a booking form widget so guests can send an inquiry, wait for approval and a secure payment link, or pay for a stay directly on your site with Stripe-powered card and wallet options where available. Compare plans when you are ready to move beyond the free calendar.

RentalBeam is built to work alongside your OTA listings - not replace them. It is not a full PMS, not a channel manager, and not a website builder. It is the bridge between a simple website calendar and taking direct bookings on your own site.

Start with a live availability calendar

  • Free plan available: one calendar, one iCal source, a multi-month view, and an embeddable availability widget.
  • Any iCal source: Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Google Calendar, and other feeds that export iCal or ICS.
  • Automatic syncing: RentalBeam refreshes availability through iCal so your website does not rely on manual updates.
  • Built for real websites in 24 languages: the calendar and booking widget display in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, with responsive layouts and embed options for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom sites.
  • More control on Plus: managed dates, custom colors, branding removal, and a combined export URL back out to other calendar tools.

A widget that looks like part of your website

Most embedded calendars look like exactly what they are: someone else's tool dropped into your page. RentalBeam's widget is designed to read as part of your own website. Every calendar ships with light, dark, and auto themes, responsive layouts, and 12 display languages. On Plus and Pro you can match the widget to your site precisely: custom colors for available, booked, and closed dates, a custom widget background, your own labels and colors for managed date ranges, and full branding removal. On Pro, the booking form and your guest emails pick up your brand accent color, so the experience stays yours from the first availability check to the booking confirmation in the guest's inbox.

  • Booking form widget on Pro: add a direct booking form alongside your availability calendar so guests can inquire, wait for approval and a secure payment link, or pay in the widget from your own website.
  • Flexible payment path: stay inquiry-first, approve requests and send a secure payment link later, or enable guest card payments when you want a faster checkout flow. Apple Pay and Google Pay can appear where supported by Stripe, the guest device, browser, region, and the host's connected account setup.
  • Host controls: show pricing or keep it hidden while you quote manually, then add seasonal pricing, fees, discounts, booking rules, split payment steps, invoice PDFs, custom guest fields, and guest-count settings.
  • Sync visibility: track Healthy, Stale, or Error status per source and see export access activity from your dashboard.

Keep 100% of your direct bookings

RentalBeam Pro takes no commission and adds no RentalBeam booking fee on your direct bookings - your booking revenue is 100% yours. Pro unlocks the same booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, booking rules, host email tools, and reply-from-inbox guest messaging. When a guest pays by card through RentalBeam, the only deduction is the standard Stripe card-processing fee, paid to Stripe rather than RentalBeam. Inquiry-only, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) carry no per-transaction cost at all.

Pro hosts can also run coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, and seasonal pricing tiers from the same booking form setup, alongside custom guest fields, configurable booking fees, guest-count controls, booking rules (booking window, advance notice, prep time, min/max stay), multi-currency pricing, payment links, and invoice PDFs.

Built for any day-based rental, not just homes

RentalBeam's primary home is vacation rentals, but the same calendar-and-booking-form setup fits any day-based rental business: car rentals, boat rentals, RV and campervan rentals, trailer and equipment rentals, and event venues that host one event per day. On Pro, custom form fields cover what those checkouts actually need - license numbers, pickup details, and file uploads so renters can attach a photo ID or document (up to 3 files per field, 10 MB each), stored privately and viewable from the booking in your dashboard.

Hosts with several units can use unit groupsto combine rentals - rooms, boats, vehicles, trailers - into one embeddable widget: visitors see an all-units availability timeline with a per-day count of open units, can open any single unit's full calendar, and on Pro book through a group booking form. The most guest-friendly option lets visitors pick their dates first and then choose from the units free for those dates, each shown with the photo you set for that rental and its real price for those dates. Each unit keeps its own pricing, sources, and bookings.

Why hosts move past screenshots and manual updates

OTA marketplaces can take a meaningful share of each booking. Direct bookings through your own website avoid those OTA commission fees, which can materially improve margins over time. For many hosts, the first win is simply having a website calendar that stays current. The next win is turning that same website into a booking channel.

On a high-value stay, avoiding OTA commission can cover a meaningful amount of calendar-software cost on its own.

Typical setup flow

  1. Copy your iCal URL: get the export link from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or another iCal-compatible source.
  2. Create your widget: paste the feed into RentalBeam and preview your availability calendar instantly.
  3. Embed it on your website: add the snippet to WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or custom HTML.
  4. Add bookings when you are ready: on Pro, keep inquiry-first, send payment after approval, or turn on guest card payments from the same setup.
