What can RentalBeam do?
RentalBeam puts your availability, bookings and payments on your own rental website. Every plan shows a synced availability calendar; Plus and Pro add your own look and the map on your site; Pro adds the booking form and guest payments. The full list groups every feature by the job it does and names the plan that has it.
