New Ways to Boost Revenue at Rentals for Property Managers in 2025
The hospitality industry is evolving, and today’s travelers expect more than just a comfortable stay.
Did you know that 75% of guests nowadays expect seamless digital experiences? And that upselling additional services to your rental booking, such as early check-in or meeting at the airport, can boost ancillary revenue by up to 35%?
Seamless connectivity and personalized experiences are now key factors in guest satisfaction and business success.
To keep you ahead of the competition, our team at Chekin collects industry insights and new features that not only drive extra income but also enhance guest convenience.
The Rise of eSIMs in Hospitality
Now travelers rely on mobile data for everything — navigation, communication, online transactions, and even remote work, like digital nomads. This trend is only growing:
However, international roaming charges and the hassle of finding a local SIM can be frustrating for guests. Chekin tech team decided to make it easy for property managers to integrate eSIM services, allowing guests to purchase a local data plan even before they arrive. Not only does this add value to your offerings, but it also provides an additional revenue stream for your business.
eSIM technology is a seamless and cost-effective solution that enables travelers to stay connected without switching physical SIM cards.

How Damage Protection Saves Property Managers Thousands
From broken furniture to stained carpets, guest-related damage costs property managers an average of $1,800 per year per unit — and that’s just the reported cases.
In high-turnover short-term rentals, unexpected repair expenses can cut into up to 10% of your annual revenue, making damage protection a must-have strategy.
Some stories from property managers our support team has collected:
How can you prevent these losses?
Think about requesting deposits upfront. With Chekin's Damage Protection Free feature it can be fully automated and refundable with one click.
From a spilled glass of wine on the couch to a guest accidentally breaking a lamp, damages can happen even with the most responsible travelers. Offer no-deductible insurance will ensure you’re covered for all types of incidents — without unexpected costs.
Why just protect your property when you can also boost your profits? By including a small margin on guest protection fees, property managers can generate additional income with every booking. This strategy not only safeguards your property but also turns protection into a revenue stream.
