How to Save on Extended Stay Housing: Tips for Contractors & Travelling Professionals

Fresh Coast Rentals • November 15, 2025

Home away from home — save on hotels.

When you’re on the road for work, where you stay can make all the difference. Contractors, travelling professionals, and project crews need more than a place to crash — they need space to live, rest, and recharge. That’s where all-inclusive furnished rentals come in.


At Fresh Coast Rentals, we’ve been providing furnished rentals in Grande Prairie, AB for over 15 years — helping professionals and teams find comfort, flexibility, and value that hotels just can’t match.

Let’s look at how to stretch your housing budget without sacrificing quality.


1. Compare Total Costs — Not Just Nightly Rates

Hotels might seem simple, but those nightly rates add up fast. Then add:

  • Meal costs (since there’s no kitchen)
  • Laundry expenses
  • Parking fees
  • Taxes and service charges


An all-inclusive furnished rental covers everything in one predictable payment — rent, Wi-Fi, utilities, parking, even cable. What you see is what you pay.


2. Choose All-Inclusive Rentals for Real Savings

Extended stays don’t have to mean extra stress.
Furnished rentals simplify everything:

  • Fully equipped kitchens to cook your own meals
  • In-suite laundry (no quarters needed)
  • Private bedrooms for better rest and privacy
  • All utilities included, so there are no surprise bills


For work crews or individuals, this setup saves money and creates a real home-base feel.


3. Ask the Right Questions Before You Book

Before signing a lease or reserving a stay, ask:

  • Are utilities, Wi-Fi, and parking included?
  • Is the rental professionally managed and inspected?
  • Are maintenance requests handled quickly?
  • Can the lease term be extended if the project runs longer?


A clear agreement saves money — and prevents headaches later.


4. Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

Some rentals or short-term listings sound affordable but hide fees like:

  • Cleaning or linen charges
  • Extra utility costs in winter
  • Internet or cable add-ons
  • Deposit deductions for normal wear and tear


At Fresh Coast Rentals, transparency is key. Our pricing is all-inclusive, so you always know what to expect — no hidden costs, ever.


5. Crew Housing That Works Hard for You

Contractors and teams working in Grande Prairie love our crew housing options because they’re designed for real-life work schedules — spacious, furnished, and ready to go.

  • Save thousands compared to hotels
  • Keep your team together and focused
