I think I have found the apartment we want to rent in Paris via the homeaway site. When Homeway did a follow up email they said this:

<i>Make reservation payment
Here are the most common payment methods in our marketplace:

Pay through ReservationManager(TM) from HomeAway
Accepts credit cards and eCheck
This is the most secure way to pay, and your payment is guaranteed up to $10,000
Pay by credit card, check, or bank transfer
Before sending money with one of these methods, call the telephone number published on the property listing to confirm your reservation and payment details.
If the listing does not have a phone number, please contact us for assistance at 877-228-3145.
Credit cards offer charge-back protection should there be any issues with your reservation.
Your payment is guaranteed up to $1,000 if you follow the recommendations listed above.</i>

The owner I have contacted takes credit cards, shouldn't that be okay? Has anyone rented via Homeaway and how did you handle the payment?

We sent a personal check, which the owner agreed to when we agreed to rent the apartment. No problems at all with the owner of the apartment we rented.

thank you rbnwdln.

If the owner takes credit cards, that's the way to go - your best option really.

Thanks Seamus. That's what I thought really, but then I read their email and wondered if there was something I was missing
