(SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – June 29, 2009) — Zonder, a leader in the
vacation rental industry, announces a new site at
www.zonder.com designed to meet the growing needs of consumers and property
managers in the vacation rental market. The new
zonder.com shows exact nightly rates and exclusive last-minute deals directly
within the search results. Zonder now offers customers the ability to search through
tens of thousands of vacation rentals using an enhanced search engine or detailed
regional maps, making it easier than ever to find the perfect vacation rental. Zonder
has worked extensively with its network of professional property managers to bring
customers exclusive access to thousands of last-minute specials that can only be
found on zonder.com. Additionally, Zonder has added over 120,000 enhanced property
photos and descriptions giving consumers the ability to quickly and accurately evaluate
properties to find the vacation rental of their dreams.
"Introducing exact rates and last-minute deals directly within the search results
are two new features we’re very proud of," said Zonder CEO, Bob Barnes. "We’re also
excited to make these innovations available to other websites through our robust
partner platform," Barnes continued.
Zonder has solved the historic problem of not being able to book last-minute vacation
rentals. By leveraging its relationships with hundreds of property managers, Zonder
has made last-minute bookings available on over half of its inventory. To further
attract last-minute travelers, Zonder now offers nearly 10,000 properties with last-minute
discounts of up to 30%. Customers can even filter search results to only show deals,
making Zonder the fastest and easiest way for consumers to save big on vacation
rentals.
A sampling of Zonder’s exclusive last-minute deals includes:
Gulf Shores, AL vacation rentals 30% off 450 properties booked less than 15 days from check-in.

Zonder also unveils its new search engine with the ability to quickly and easily
filter results using a variety of criteria such as price, sleeping capacity, proximity
to a beach and a number of amenities like a pool or hot tub. Customers can also
save properties to their favorites list, remove unwanted properties from their search
results, browse through properties directly on an interactive map and email them
to their friends. Zonder even offers relevant suggestions of destinations and vacation
rentals just outside of a user’s search criteria that they may also want to consider.

booking process. Zonder’s professionally managed properties are backed by the Zonder
Guarantee and rental experts are available 24x7 to help travelers find and book
