Independence is only meaningful if you can see how it's protected. Here is exactly how Rent & Travel makes its money, makes its decisions, and fixes its mistakes.
Last updated: 12 June 2026
Rent & Travel is editorially independent. Our recommendations and opinions are our own, formed by our team's research and first-hand experience. No advertiser, sponsor, destination, hotel or brand has any influence over what we cover or what we say. We do not accept payment in exchange for coverage, a positive review, or a place on any list.
We believe you have a right to know who pays for what you read. Rent & Travel is funded by:
We do not use affiliate links. We earn no commission when you click a link or book a trip, because we don't want the temptation to recommend the thing that pays us over the thing that's right for you. Our guides contain no "book now" buttons feeding a commission, and we do not operate a booking engine or take payment for travel.
Any advertising we display is visually distinct from editorial content and labelled where appropriate. We retain full control over which ads appear and reserve the right to refuse advertising that conflicts with our values or misleads readers. Advertising revenue never buys editorial coverage or influence.
If we ever publish content that is paid for or produced in partnership with a third party, it will be clearly and prominently labelled as sponsored or partnered, so you always know what you're reading. Such content is the exception, not the rule, and is held to the same standards of honesty as everything else. At present, we publish no paid placements within our editorial articles.
Our guides are built from a combination of first-hand travel, direct experience, and careful research from reputable sources. We aim to be accurate and current, and we date our articles so you can judge their freshness. Where information is time-sensitive — entry rules, visas, prices, safety — we encourage readers to confirm the latest details with official sources, because conditions change faster than any article can.
Travel is subjective. What we publish reflects our genuine views and the experiences of our team and contributors. Reasonable people will disagree about the best neighbourhood or the perfect itinerary, and we welcome that. We try always to distinguish fact from opinion and to be honest about the limits of any single perspective.
We get things wrong sometimes, and when we do, we fix them openly. If you spot a factual error, email corrections@rent-n-travel.com and we'll review it promptly. Substantive corrections are made to the article and, where relevant, noted so the record is clear. We would always rather be corrected than be wrong.
Photographs and illustrations on this site are either created for Rent & Travel, properly licensed, or used with permission. Some images are illustrative rather than literal depictions of a specific place mentioned in the text.
If anything about how we work is unclear, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Write to hello@rent-n-travel.com — transparency only works if we answer.
