BARCELONA - Rentals United, announced a partnership to directly integrate with the Trip.com group. With over 400 million registered users worldwide, Trip.com is a Chinese provider of travel services who owns Trip.com, Ctrip.com and Skyscanner - it’s the largest OTA in China and one of the largest travel service providers in the world.
