From families looking to make new memories to travellers needing a longer-stay option, our holiday rental guests are travellers searching for homes just like yours. That means these home-sharing travellers appreciate what makes your space special.

When it comes to guest demographics, Vrbo travellers spend more and stay longer than travellers on other platforms.

Yes. When you list on Vrbo, you control who stays in your home.

Vrbo has requirements for guest eligibility, and as a host, you can add more.

The host approval process lets you adjust your booking settings, set specific requirements and guest selection criteria, communicate with potential guests, and review their information to decide if they're a good fit for your home.

You can require guests to purchase Property Damage Protection or set a damage deposit amount that your guest will be responsible for if they cause damage to your property. See more here.

$1M Liability Insurance provides owners and property managers with liability protection for all stays processed online through the Vrbo checkout. This programme may provide coverage if a guest is injured while staying at your property. It also may provide coverage if a guest damages the property of a third party (e.g. a neighbour) while staying at your property. Please note that the $1M Liability Insurance does not cover damage caused by a guest to your property. See more here.
