Direct-booking vacation rental invoices

Name the property, guest, booking dates, occupancy, nightly rate, and reservation reference. Put cleaning, pet, extra-guest, parking, and other fixed fees on separate lines. Show lodging or sales taxes as required and avoid combining a refundable security deposit with rental revenue.

Deposits, scheduled payments, and refunds

Apply the booking deposit against the total and state the next payment and due date. If a security deposit is collected, label it separately and follow the rental agreement for return or deductions. Cancellations and refunds should reference the written booking policy instead of adding new terms to the invoice.

How to make a vacation rental invoice in 7 steps

  1. Open the invoice with the fields already set up

    Start from this page so the invoice loads with line items and wording used for vacation rental work. Creating and previewing needs no account.

  2. Add your details and the client

    Enter your business name, address and contact details, then the client name and billing address exactly as they should appear on the record.

  3. Give the invoice a number and dates

    Use a unique invoice number in one unbroken run, then set the issue date and the due date so the payment term is unambiguous.

  4. Replace the sample lines with the work you did

    Swap the example lines for the real job. Describe the unit you are billing, whether that is hours, visits, or units, and put the rate on the same line. The starting lines here open with vacation rental nights.

  5. Check the totals and any tax

    Totals calculate as you type. Confirm the quantities, rates and any tax line against your own records, since sales tax rules and what is taxable differ by jurisdiction.

  6. State how and when to pay

    Add the payment terms, the methods you accept and any late fee your agreement allows, so the client has no reason to wait for clarification.

  7. Preview, then download the PDF

    Read the finished invoice before you send it. Preview is free; a PDF download costs $4.99, or is included with Unlimited.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice a direct vacation-rental booking?

List the property, stay dates, nights, nightly rate, cleaning and other fees, taxes, deposit paid, balance, and payment due date.

Should a security deposit be part of rental income?

Keep it on a separate labeled line from rent and fees. Its handling depends on the agreement and applicable rules, so do not treat it as earned revenue automatically.
