New luxury rental site Onee takes bookings only by trade
Hollie-Rae Brader
A new online platform gives agents access to hundreds of luxury rental properties worldwide. Onee Luxury Travel can be viewed by consumers
but all enquiries and bookings are channelled through the trade-focused site’s travel agency partners. Agents can also gain access to ‘off market’ private
homes and properties not visible to consumers. The B2B platform gives agents visibility of
commission rates for each individual property. Onee Luxury Travel founder Onur Takmak said
commission ranges between 5% and 40%. Property managers can scale the commission rate up or down. The platform allows agents to search and shortlist
properties and showcase options to clients. They can also mark up prices before sending quotes to clients.

Onee Luxury Travel said its trade-focused setup
showed its “clear commitment to well-advised travel” and the value its agency partners can offer. Takmak claimed many private rental companies had
“neglected travel agents” over the years. “We really want to support the trade because
[agents] have been ignored or pushed aside when it comes to private rentals,” he said. “We believe agents are a very important part of the
chain and we are acknowledging this and want agents to know that we appreciate what they do.” Takmak stressed Onee’s offering was “honest and
transparent in its approach” and would be mutually beneficial for property managers and agents alike. Agents who wish to work with Onee Luxury Travel
must register on the company’s website.
