MIAMI LAKES, Fla. -- Rentalo.com, an Internet search engine focusing on
nonstandard accommodations, rolled out an upgrade that allows for
more specific and quicker searches.
With new "sort-by" and "filter-by" options, the user -- after
selecting the destination -- can search by price, size of property,
name and type of facility [house vs. apartment etc.]. Rentalo said
searchers can hone in further, to sort by amenities, such as cell
phones, DVDs, Web access, pet-friendliness, handicapped
accessibility, local transportation, pool, Jacuzzi, sports and
attractions.
The listed properties -- which range from rental homes, villas,
apartments and condos to hotels and B&Bs -- pay to
participate.
The business was founded in 1995 by Alfredo Purrinos, a former
NASA engineer. Rentalo is a division of Hi Q Telecom of Miami
Lakes, Fla.
