GoBetween Rentals is an online platform that connects property owners who want to rent out their fully furnished homes with Betweeners looking for short-term stays. Property owners can list their homes, while Betweeners can browse available properties and directly communicate with the owners. Once you find a match, you can finalise the arrangement directly with the other party.
GoBetween Rentals offers a unique platform that caters to both property owners and Betweeners looking for fully furnished properties available for mid-term stays (from one month to a year), rather than just short-term holiday rentals or long term rentals.
For property owners, we provide a cost-effective solution with no commission taken from rent payments. The only fee is for listing the property on our site, and even that is free during launch. Additionally, GoBetween Rentals allows for direct communication between property owners and Betweeners, putting you in control of negotiations and payment terms. Whether you’re looking to rent during the off-season, going away on holiday, or want to temporarily rent out your home, GoBetween Rentals offers a unique solution for property owners and Betweeners alike.
For Betweeners, GoBetween Rentals provides access to a variety of fully furnished properties that are available for longer stays, which can be perfect for those relocating, on a work assignment, or needing temporary accommodation. Our platform helps you find a place that feels like home, with more flexibility and less hassle than traditional short-term rental platforms. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or a place to settle in for a few months, GoBetween Rentals offers a personalised rental experience for both owners and Betweeners.
No, GoBetween Rentals is a platform that connects property owners and Betweeners, but we do not mediate between users. Once a property is listed and a Betweener expresses interest, all communication, agreements, and arrangements are handled directly between the property owner and the Betweener. GoBetween Rentals is not responsible for any interactions or consequences arising from the interactions between users.
No, GoBetween Rentals does not take any commission from the rent paid between property owners and Betweeners. Once the property is listed, all rent negotiations and payments are handled directly between the property owner/manager and the Betweener. We provide a platform for connection but do not involve ourselves in the financial transactions between the two parties.
During our launch, there is no listing fee. The site is free to use. Eventually we may add a fee, which will help ensure that both rental listings and Betweeners are genuine and serious. It contributes to maintaining the quality and security of the platform, allowing us to provide a trusted environment where property owners and Betweeners can connect directly. This fee helps us protect both parties, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience for everyone involved.

A ‘Betweener’ is a person who rents a property for a short-term stay through GoBetween Rentals. If you are looking to rent a fully furnished property, you would be considered a Betweener on our platform.
GoBetween Rentals relies on property owners to provide accurate and up-to-date information. While we strive to maintain a high standard of listings, it is important for Betweeners to review the details, ask questions, and confirm arrangements directly with the property owner before finalising any bookings. We may introduce verified ID once the site is well used and trusted by its users. We don’t want to scare people off by having to provide an ID when they first sign up to an unknown site!
While GoBetween Rentals does not verify each listing personally, we encourage both Betweeners and property owners to communicate thoroughly before confirming any arrangements. Where possible visit the home, meet each other, or do video chats and video walk throughs of homes. Always ask for additional photos or details and ensure you’re clear on the rental terms before finalising the agreement.
As a Betweener, you can search for properties based on your preferences—location, duration, and price. Once you find a property you’re interested in, you can contact the property owner directly through the platform to ask any questions and finalise your booking details.
You can message property owners directly through GoBetween Rentals once you’ve found a listing that interests you. Initial communication, including inquiries, negotiations, and arrangements, can take place via our platform to ensure a smooth connection. If you choose to, you can share other contact details with each other to chat off the platform.
Property availability is listed on each property’s page, but we recommend contacting the property owner directly to confirm availability and discuss any special requirements. Availability can change quickly, so it’s always best to confirm directly with the owner.
All rental payments are handled directly between the Betweener and the property owner. GoBetween Rentals does not facilitate transactions, so it is essential for both parties to agree on payment terms, including the amount, payment method, and timing, before finalising the tenancy agreement.
Any changes or cancellations to your booking must be discussed and arranged directly with the property owner. GoBetween Rentals does not handle cancellations, changes, or refunds. We encourage both property owners and Betweeners to establish clear terms before confirming a booking and signing a tenancy agreement.
Yes, GoBetween Rentals has a review system where both Betweeners and property owners can leave feedback after their stay. This helps ensure transparency and helps others make informed decisions. Reviews are a great way to share your experience and help improve the community for everyone.
