Free advertising sites

There are a lot of internet sites where you can advertise your property free of charge. Initial reaction is probably to do as many of these as possible. But you should be aware that these sites will usually have little or no resources to spend on advertising, so will almost always feature below 'paid' listings in the search engine results and in number of visitors.

Some are much better than others. Some hope one day to be successful paid sites, others hope to remain free while generating income from adverts on the site, usually Google Ads, affiliated travel insurance schemes and so on.

The time involved in both setting up your property initially and maintaining it later can be substantial. Therefore I would recommend choosing between two and four free sites and see how they perform. If you find you receive no queries you will need to ask that your details be removed, to avoid receiving queries years later based on incorrect information.

I can recommend that you try www.rent-holiday-homes.com

Free gite advertising sites should not be confused with paid listing sites that offer an initial free trial. Several sites allow you to add your rental property to their listing site free for a period of 1 - 6 months, with an option to pay at that time, if the results have been satisfactory. These include perfectplaces.com and click4holidayhomes.com.
