How we make money

Own & Roam is free to use. Here is how we plan to fund it, and the limits we put on ourselves.

Our planned revenue

  • Referral commission when a reader books a stay or a hire through a partner link
  • Fees for qualified ownership enquiries passed to parks and dealers who accept our conduct rules
  • Commercial partnerships with parks, dealers and hire operators
  • Clearly labelled paid listings and sponsored placements

No partner links are currently live, no enquiries are being passed anywhere, and no money is changing hands. Buttons that would normally reach a partner show a clear launch notice instead.

What commercial relationships never change

  • How we rank or compare options
  • The costs, fees and restrictions we show on a listing
  • What our guides say about depreciation and running costs
  • Our advice to hire first if you are not sure
  • Our willingness to say that ownership does not suit someone

Any paid placement will be labelled as such on the page where it appears. A payment cannot buy a better score, a softer cost breakdown or the removal of a caution.

Why we say this up front

Comparison sites lose their value the moment readers cannot tell advice from advertising. Publishing the revenue model is the simplest way to let you judge what you are reading.
