Upselling in Short-Term Rentals: 7 Ideas That Work in 2026

Top hosts in Italy generate an average of 12-18% extra revenue per stay through upsells. Here are 7 ideas that work.

The 7 Ideas

1. Late check-out (€15-€30): average conversion 25%.
2. Early check-in (€15-€25): average conversion 20%.
3. Local welcome basket (€20-€40): very high margin.
4. Airport transfer: easy to resell to a partner.
5. Guided tours or experiences (15-25% commission).
6. Reserved parking (€10-€15/day).
7. Laundry service or extra cleaning.

When to Offer Them

The golden moment for pre-arrival upsells is 5-7 days before check-in. For in-stay upsells, it's day 1 of the stay.
