In their own words
Dtravel
Dtravel provides vacation-rental operators with tools for direct booking websites, listings and distribution, while helping travelers discover and manage direct bookings. Its no-code website builder offers AI-assisted design, themes, custom branding and self-hosted domains. Operators can use Dtravel without a property management system or connect one to sync calendars, pricing and listing content. Listings can reach Google Vacation Rentals, mini-apps, Directo browser extensions and Dtravel Collectives; distribution bookings have no upfront cost and incur a success-based fee. An embeddable booking widget works with existing websites, including WordPress, and supports card, crypto and buy-now-pay-later payments. Integrations include Hospitable, Hostaway, Hostkit, Rentalwise and Uplisting. Truvi integration provides guest screening, ID verification and fraud checks, with optional damage protection of up to $5,000,000 per incident. Starter costs nothing, Pro costs $19 a month for up to four listings, and Enterprise starts at $500 a month.
