iStopOver

Where would you like to stay?

iStopOver is the place on the Internet for direct rental of excess capacity in homes and offices.

Guests (Travelers) use iStopOver to find accommodations in someone’s home as an alternative to paying high hotel rates. Usually priced well below average hotel rooms, renting a room on iStopOver offers real value. You won’t find impersonal check-in, loud noise from other guests, and extra charges at every step. In many cases, it gives you the opportunity to “live like a local”.

Hosts (Homeowners/Office managers) use iStopOver to post listings for renting out excess capacity in their home or office on a short-term basis, directly to Guests.

iStopOver is the facilitator to connect Guests with Hosts. The interaction and rental process takes place directly between the Host and the Guest – in Internet terms, a peer-to-peer process. There are no agencies, no pressure – you deal directly with each other.

iStopOver is the home for listings. Firstly, iStopOver provides advice and tools to easily create a listing, and helps Hosts think through all aspects of renting out space. Then, iStopOver brings potential Guests to the website to find their ideal listing and we facilitate communication between Hosts and Guests. Once a booking is firmed between a Host and a Guest, iStopOver makes the financial transaction safe and simple by holding the money that a Guest pays on confirmation of a reservation, and releasing it directly to the Host, after a Guest’s stay.

In the home market, iStopOver facilitates short-term home-away-from-home B&B style accommodation with good, old-fashioned value. We believe that someone, halfway around the world, is as much your neighbor as the guy next door, it’s just a longer walk to borrow a cup of sugar.

In the office market, iStopOver facilitates short-term office rentals – including spare office space, boardroom rentals and meeting rooms.
