Key Exchange

How does key exchange work?

Simple! We use a system of lockboxes (the customer must provide the lockbox, we have them available for purchase), Once the details of where the lockbox will be placed is entered into your property profile, and a booking is made for key exchange, we deliver the keys to the lockbox in the morning, ready for your guests arrival, and if a pick up is made, we pick up the keys from the lockbox in the afternoon! Whilst not in use the keys will be stored in our secure facility, ready for the next booking. 

What happens if i have booked in key pick up, and the guests have not left the keys in the lock box?

This primarily comes to down to guest education, we recommend for you to inform your guests clearly at check in and prior to check out, they keys must be placed in the lock box by a certain time. You will be charged the full amount in this case, and will have to re-book for the next day. You can always pass this charge onto your guest!
