How quickly can you arrange accommodation?+
Most enquiries are matched within the hour but it could take longer. If the system doesn't find what you need we are alerted and will provide manual options.
Do you handle the whole crew in one property?+
Yes whole house bookings are our bread and butter. Crews stay together, which keeps mornings simple and costs predictable.
Can you invoice my company directly?+
Yes. One VAT invoice per project, paid by your company on standard terms. Under 28 days payment in full is required. Over 28 days this can be split.
What if the project gets extended or cut short?+
If the project is extended or cut short just let your account manager know and they will sort everything for your team.
Do you cover the whole of the UK and Ireland?+
We cover the UK and Ireland. We have properties in every corner. Needless to say where there is more demand there will be more options. More demand, more options.
