Turn your guest bedroom into a goldmine by hosting contractors…

Crashpadder.com is a homestay community with members all over the world. We enable hosts to earn a little extra cash from their spare space - and help travellers to avoid the expense of unwelcoming, cookie-cutter hotels. As such we’re an increasingly popular accommodation option for contractors and those travelling with business. So, if you think hosting business travellers from time to time to supplement your income sounds appealing then read on…

Monetise your spare space
Thanks to the government’s Rent-a-Room scheme, you can rent out spare space to long or short-term tenants and the first £4,250 you earn annually is tax-free. Whether you have a spare suite or simply a sofa-bed, you could unlock its hidden value by advertising it on the Crashpadder site. It’s free to join and add your room and - thanks to the fact our global community is always expanding - it will be exposed to hundreds of potential guests in no time.

How does it work?
With Crashpadder.com you can decide how much you think your room or sofa-bed is worth and also screen all potential guests before responding to their booking requests. You can also set your room as unavailable for certain periods of time, perhaps when you go on holiday or simply if you fancy a little ‘me time’.
All in all, the site is designed to be user-friendly but if you have any questions feel free to contact us and we’d be only too pleased to help.

Who uses Crashpadder?
People book Crashpads for all manner of reasons; travelling for leisure, study, visiting family and very commonly for work. We’ve received lots of feedback from people who travel as part of sales or contractor roles, who are thrilled to be able to escape the drudgery of Holiday Inns and Travelodges.
