Great ways to let your holiday home in 2010

Owners of second homes are often busy people, with demands on their time making it difficult to manage holiday lets. Brittany Ferries, a market leader in self-catering holidays and managed lettings, offers owners of second homes two great ways to make their property earn an income. Both options save time and hassle whilst providing great exposure and reliable backup.

The first option is to include your property, be it a gite in France or  casa in Spain, in Brittany Ferries' mainstream fully-bonded holiday programme when it is featured in their popular Cottages & Villas brochure, as well as on the Brittany Ferries website. A 7-day-a-week telephone reservation service, together with a 24/7 online booking system provide a reliable, professional service, ensuring that no potential bookings are lost. Furthermore, anyone letting their property though the service receives special rates on Brittany Ferries' vehicle and passenger fares.

Those who prefer to deal directly with their customers may like to consider Holiday France Direct. This is Brittany Ferries' direct sell holidays brochure, providing property owners with an effective means of advertising their second home in France, Spain or Portugal whilst maintaining complete control over letting terms and dates. Brittany Ferries meanwhile handles the chores of web page creation, brochure production, promotion and marketing. Additionally, property owners and their guests benefit from 20% savings on Brittany Ferries' vehicle and passenger fares.

With the most extensive choice of ferry routes across the Channel, and a modern and luxurious fleet, Brittany Ferries is the perfect partner for those looking to let their home in France and Spain.
