Record rentals of a holiday home in Galway have put their success for full rental because of introducing a transport solution to attract overseas holiday makers looking for that little bit extra.
“We have a 3 bedroom holiday home on the outskirts of Galway City which we bought during the boom, to pay the mortgage we have tried to rent the house during the summer,” said David Swen.
David had trouble getting rentals with so much completion in the holiday rental sector so he approached a Limerick Company that he seen on RTE Dragons Den & suggested they team up to provide a holiday home rental with that little bit extra to attract the European market, Electric bikes for the holiday makers to use for the duration of their self catering week in Ireland.
Goeco of Limerick who run Europe’s only electric bike touring holidays & have made contact with Michael O’Leary of Ryan Air to get involved in solving Shannon airports drain of flights thought that it would be a fantastic string to the bow of the electric bike holidays web site that gets over 500,000 hits per Month from in excess of 20 overseas countries,
“We added this initiative to our website to see if we could attract holiday makers who look for value, we simply provide 6 World class electric bikes which are capable of 100km trips on a single charge worth over €2000 per bike for the use of the visitors.
Good electric bikes are massive in Europe so it’s an attractive addition to a basic holiday package” said Marty Mannering MD of Goeco.ie
“We had the best summer season ever & I know others in the same situation with holidays homes that just cannot get rentals, we are delighted & all our visitors seem very happy with the arrangement” Said a delighted Dave Swen.
