Traditional platforms are too expensive and impersonal.Terral, Inc. completely redefines the vacation rental experience
through accessible homes, reliable bookings, flexible
payment solutions and smart pricing for hosts.
Where other platforms pass their revenue on to travelers through high or opaque commissions, Terral, Inc. takes a different approach.
Travelers pay zero commission, full stop.
Payment = listed price only, excluding transaction fees.
💡 How is this possible? Commissions (CSS) are deducted from the payout received by the host — never added to the price paid by the traveler. The model is fair and transparent on both sides.
* Payout = listed price minus a CSS fee and transfer costs
Terral, Inc. commits to every home being certified, every user verified and every booking validated.
Impartial recognition and fair evaluation
Pay for your long stays at the end of the month with no installment fees.
For stays of more than 60 days, Terral, Inc. offers a monthly payment system that frees travelers from paying for the entire stay at booking, making long-term accommodation more accessible.
The traveler makes a first payment covering 30 days at booking, then continues paying monthly with no installment fees.
The host receives a first payout covering 30 days the day after the stay begins, then receives payouts every 30 days.
Monthly payment deadline*: before the 10th following each month-end.
Traditional alternatives require the exclusive use of international bank cards, overlooking the crucial macroeconomic importance of Mobile Money in the context of local monetary realities across African markets.
