In Croatia’s thriving short-term rental scene, success depends on far more than just great properties — it requires efficiency, smart tools, and reliable automation. Rent4me, a full-service vacation rental company based in the heart of Zagreb, stands out as a prime example of how technology can power growth.

By combining PriceLabs, a leading platform for automated revenue management, with Rentlio, a modern and intuitive property management system, Rent4me has built a business that runs smoothly, saves time, and continues to grow year after year.

For them, these tools are not just add-ons — they are the foundation of a sustainable and professional operation.

From a Family Favour to a Full-Service Operation

Rent4me’s story began modestly, managing a single apartment for a family member. That first experience revealed both the potential and the challenges of short-term rental management. They enjoyed every aspect of hosting — preparing the space, welcoming guests, and delivering a great stay. It didn’t take long before they decided to turn that passion into a business.

Today, Rent4me manages a portfolio of apartments in central Zagreb. Each property is spacious, recently renovated, and thoughtfully maintained. A few belong to their luxury collection, offering higher-end amenities for travellers seeking comfort, design, and convenience.

What sets Rent4me apart is their dedication to quality — every guest receives consistent service and every property is cared for as if it were their own.

But as their portfolio expanded, they quickly realised that scaling manually was not sustainable.

“Even managing 10 properties manually would be a loss of time. You just can’t keep up if you want to do this professionally,”

Starting with the Right Tools

While many property managers only look for automation tools after years in business, Rent4me started with technology from day one.

“There was really no before PriceLabs — as soon as we got into the business in 2022, I knew there had to be a better way to manage prices,”

They began researching systems that could simplify operations and pricing. After testing several property management systems, they discovered Rentlio, a Croatian-built PMS that impressed them with its intuitive design, affordable pricing, and excellent customer support.

“We tried a lot of different PMSs and weren’t completely satisfied with any until we started using Rentlio. It’s simple, flexible, and the people behind it are wonderful.”

Around the same time, they implemented PriceLabs, which immediately transformed how they managed rates and minimum stays.

“Both PriceLabs and Rentlio offer everything we need. They’re easy to use, integrate perfectly, and have great support teams. Once we set them up, we knew we’d found our long-term tools.”

Smooth Integration Between PriceLabs and Rentlio

The team discovered both platforms through online reviews and user recommendations. Integration between PriceLabs and Rentlio turned out to be quick and seamless.

“The integration was smooth, easy, and quick — no issues during or after setup.”

Within minutes, their listings, rates, and availability were synced. PriceLabs automatically adjusted nightly rates based on demand, seasonality, and local market trends, while Rentlio handled reservations, guest communication, and reporting.

This integration became the backbone of Rent4me‘s automated revenue management system — allowing them to maintain competitive pricing without manual effort.

Why PriceLabs Became Indispensable

For Rent4me, PriceLabs is not just a helpful tool — it’s essential to how they operate.

“Without PriceLabs, there would be no Rent4me — short and simple.”

Before adopting dynamic pricing, the idea of managing rates manually felt overwhelming. They understood early that price changes are not just about increasing or lowering rates by a few euros — they are about adapting to constantly shifting demand.

PriceLabs provided them with a data-driven way to stay ahead of the market.

“We wouldn’t like managing prices manually or having a whole office of people doing it inefficiently. PriceLabs gives us time to focus on other areas of our business — cleaning crews, guest communication, listings — everything else that keeps our operation running.”

The automation doesn’t just save time; it ensures accuracy and consistency. Their pricing now adjusts daily to reflect local events, booking patterns, and occupancy levels, helping maximise revenue while maintaining competitive rates.

They also rely heavily on PriceLabs’ Dynamic Minimum Stay settings, which automatically apply flexible rules based on booking windows and occupancy levels.

“Set your rules once, and PriceLabs takes care of the rest. We check it once a month just to make sure everything’s in place.”

This simple but powerful feature allows them to strike the perfect balance between short bookings during low season and longer stays during high demand periods.

Why Rentlio Stood Out Among PMS Systems

While PriceLabs drives their revenue optimisation, Rentlio is the operational heartbeat of Rent4me.

“Rentlio is very simple, holds all the info on your phone for on-the-go management, and even improved our guest communication. We can see our statistics in real time.”

With Rentlio, the team manages bookings across major channels such as Airbnb and Booking.com from a single interface. The mobile app keeps them connected to their business anywhere, and the built-in messaging and reporting features help them maintain a smooth guest experience.

They also appreciate Rentlio’s local touch.

“It’s a Croatian product, and we love supporting something built here. It works beautifully, and the support team is always responsive.”

By combining Rentlios PMS and PriceLabs’ automated revenue management, Rent4me has a complete ecosystem that handles both sides of their business — operations and pricing — effortlessly.

Results: A Business That Runs on Automation

Since integrating both systems, Rent4me has seen significant time savings and smoother workflows. Tasks that once required manual effort now happen automatically — from updating rates and minimum stays to synchronising reservations across platforms.

“If you’re serious about the short-term rental business in 2025, these tools are a necessity, the same way a car needs fuel to run.”

This automation allows the Rent4me team to dedicate more energy to areas that add real value — hospitality, maintenance, marketing, and guest satisfaction. The difference is visible not only in time saved but also in occupancy consistency and profitability.

“We don’t worry about whether our prices are too high or too low. PriceLabs takes care of that, and Rentlio keeps everything else in order. Together, they let us focus on growing the business instead of just maintaining it.”

Tips from Rent4me for Other Property Managers

  1. Trust automation: “Let PriceLabs do what it does best. It will optimise your pricing daily and save you hours every week.”
  2. Use Dynamic Minimum Stays: “It’s one of the most powerful features — set your logic once, and PriceLabs adapts automatically.”
  3. Choose an intuitive PMS: “Rentlio is user-friendly, mobile, and affordable. It’s hard to find a PMS that matches its ease of use and level of support.”
  4. Review, don’t overmanage: “We check both platforms monthly just to make sure everything’s running smoothly. That’s all it takes.”

“I’m a fan of good software — and very picky when it comes to it. These two are absolute must-haves in the industry today.”

Key Takeaway

By pairing PriceLabs and Rentlio, Rent4me has built a sustainable, technology-driven business that continues to grow. PriceLabs’ automated revenue management helps them maximise income effortlessly, while Rentlio ensures their daily operations remain smooth, connected, and stress-free.

What started as one apartment has evolved into a thriving professional operation — and the secret is simple: the right tools, smart automation, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
