What It Is
CHECK24 is Germany's largest online comparison platform and one of the leading travel booking portals in the DACH region. Originally a price-comparison site, it has expanded into a full travel booking destination offering hotels, flights, vacation packages, and car rentals. With over 15 million active customers, CHECK24 is consistently ranked among the top two OTAs in Germany by booking volume.
Who It Serves and How to Connect
CHECK24 serves German-speaking leisure and business travellers looking for transparent price comparisons and one-stop booking. For accommodation providers, connecting via a compatible channel manager (such as RateGain's integration) allows hotels to distribute rates and availability directly onto the CHECK24 hotel portal. Properties benefit from CHECK24's best-price-guarantee positioning, which encourages consumers to book on the platform. The portal also cross-sells across six travel product categories, increasing upsell opportunities.
Notable Specialty
CHECK24's hybrid model — combining price comparison with direct booking — differentiates it from pure OTAs. Its large, loyal German customer base and strong brand recognition make it an essential channel for properties targeting the DACH leisure market. Hotels listed on CHECK24 gain visibility alongside competitive rate benchmarking for millions of price-conscious German travellers.
