A free channel manager for individual Airbnb hosts in Argentina
A free channel manager for an Argentine host in Buenos Aires only matters after registration. The city's Law 6,255 requires every short-term tourist rental to register with ENTUR, the city tourism board, and with ARCA for tax, before it can legally be advertised at all, with enforcement now actively targeting unregistered listings across major booking platforms. getfursat's free tier syncs Airbnb and Booking.com once you're registered; it doesn't file the ENTUR registration for you.
Argentine short lets sell mainly through Airbnb and Booking.com, alongside Despegar, the Buenos Aires-headquartered OTA that is Latin America's largest, with Argentina as one of its two biggest individual markets, 24% of total transaction volume, second only to Brazil's 41%. Buenos Aires' Law 6,255 places no primary-residence requirement on hosts, so investment properties and multiple listings per host are explicitly allowed, unlike several US and European cities on this list.
Buenos Aires Law 6,255 requires registration in the Registro de Alquileres Temporarios Turísticos, via ENTUR, before a property can be advertised to tourists, plus liability insurance and a safety declaration; nationally, hosts also need ARCA tax registration. There's no published annual night cap on tourist rentals in the city, and stays can run from one night up to three months. A separate Urban Use Fee of USD 1.50 per night applies to foreign tourists over 12, collected by the host. Operating unregistered risks inspection, fines, platform pressure and conflict with the building's own consorcio (owners' association); exact fine amounts aren't published in one consolidated source, unlike some other markets on this list.
Argentina is the one market on this list where Despegar isn't a foreign-market blind spot to work around, it's the home-market OTA. Buenos Aires is where the company is headquartered, so a host here is more likely to already expect it as a real channel than a US or Mexican host would, which makes a channel manager that skips it a more obvious, more immediately-noticed gap.
Do I need to register before listing my Buenos Aires Airbnb?
Yes. Law 6,255 requires registration with ENTUR (the Registro de Alquileres Temporarios Turísticos) before a property can be advertised to tourists, plus liability insurance and a safety declaration, on top of nationwide ARCA tax registration.
Is there a night cap on short-term rentals in Buenos Aires?
No published annual cap. Stays can run from one night up to three months per booking, and Law 6,255 has no primary-residence requirement, so investment properties and multiple listings per host are explicitly allowed.
Does getfursat's free tier sync Despegar?
No. Despegar is headquartered in Buenos Aires and Argentina is one of its two largest markets, but it isn't part of the free tier today. The free tier syncs Airbnb and Booking.com; Despegar distribution needs a separate integration.
