What are corporate rentals and why should you use them?
With business now back in full swing, travel and working around the country has picked up to previous levels. Which places demands on businesses like yours to accommodate them.
Do you typically choose hotels or motels? Do you wince whenever you get a hotel bill for staff working away from the office?
Why not try a corporate rental?
As corporate rentals experts, Short Term Housing is perfectly placed to answer any questions you may have.
What are corporate rentals?
Corporate rentals are fully furnished rentals designed to accommodate staff and anyone who needs it for periods of 28 days or more.
They are also known as executive rentals, executive housing, furnished rentals, short term rentals, serviced apartments and many other names.
Essentially, corporate rentals are high quality fully furnished rentals that include all utilities and amenities.
They include everything you need to begin living right away. All furniture, bedding, soft furnishings, towels, bathroom items, kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery, cookware.
Literally, everything you or your team needs to begin living the moment you arrive.
All you need to do is bring your clothes and personal items. Everything else is taken care of for you.
How are corporate rentals better than hotels or motels?
If you previously accommodated staff in hotels or motels, what makes corporate rentals any better?
There are plenty of reasons why corporate rentals are better!
We’ll list just a few:
Higher standards of accommodation
We can all appreciate that nothing much can compare to a five star hotel, but how many companies will pay that kind of money?
Corporate rentals give you the five star experience without the five star price.
We carefully select our properties to deliver the quality and amenities you expect. We work with only the best landlords that consistently deliver quality.
If we wouldn’t stay in a rental, we wouldn’t expect you to either!
Location
Location is key whether you’re on vacation or traveling for work. Hotels tend to be in high traffic areas. That’s airports, by turnpikes, by tourist attractions and in popular areas of town.
Corporate rentals tend to be in Downtown locations. They can also be in financial districts, in the suburbs and other areas too, but mainly Downtown.
We tend to select corporate rentals close to large employers, military bases, large hospitals, colleges and universities and places where companies like yours will need to send staff.
With over 50,000 properties in over 5,000 cities across the United States, we will have something that’s close to where you need to be.
The majority of our corporate rentals will also be close to transport links, local landmarks or amenities, groceries and anything else you might need.
Hands-free accommodation
One benefit of hotels is they take care of everything. As long as you settle the bill when you check out, there’s very little to do.
But boy do they charge for it!
Corporate rentals are the same, without the excessive charging part.
Short Term Housing takes care of everything. All you need to do is tell us where, when and how many and we’ll take care of the rest.
We can shortlist potential properties, arrange viewings, handle utilities and internet and even arrange housekeeping or grocery deliveries!

Price
We compare corporate rentals to hotels a lot. That’s because they tend to be the default choice for traveling professionals.
Hotels aren’t the only choice and they definitely aren’t the cheapest choice!
On average, corporate rentals cost half of a comparable hotel for stays of 30 days or more.
You get more space, more privacy, (typically) more amenities and more freedom, while paying less.
There aren’t many times in business where you get more for less, but this is one of those times.
Cost is one reason why corporate rentals are taking over the business travel market. With margins tight across the board, anywhere savings can be made without impacting value is proving very popular!
Features and amenities
Many hotels will have a gym or pool and offer space to eat, but not all will. Features and amenities differ by hotel brand, location and price.
Corporate rentals are different. If the apartment has a particular feature, you can use it. If the development or building has amenities, you can use them.
These will obviously differ, like hotels, but if it’s available, it’s yours to use.
That can include rooftop decks, pools, gyms, outdoor spaces, parking, social areas, business centers, Amazon Hub package lockers and anything the development may provide.
We don’t charge you extra to use them either!
Using corporate rentals for business travel
As you can see, corporate rentals have many advantages and some compelling reasons to use them.
