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