We get that plans can change, so it's easy to filter properties that give you flexibility. If you need to make changes to an existing booking, drop your host a message. Go to "My Trips" in your account, click "Change or Cancel" and then "Message Host". Vrbo makes it easy to book with confidence. ### Why should I join Vrbo as a host? Joining Vrbo as a host opens the door to a global community of travellers seeking unique stays, giving you the opportunity to earn income from your property on your terms. With user-friendly tools, dedicated support, and exposure on major travel sites, Vrbo makes it easy to list, manage, and succeed. Whether it's a cosy cabin or a beach house, you can turn your space into a standout destination, [become a host](https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/list) and let Vrbo handle the heavy lifting to help you thrive. Earn a Premier Host badge by providing quick, reliable communication and consistently delivering outstanding guest experiences. ### Are all fees included in the Sandy Bay holiday rental prices shown on Vrbo? Vrbo provides upfront pricing from the moment you start your search. There are no hidden fees added during the check-out process. This allows you to compare properties with ease and plan your trip with confidence. ### What is VrboCare™ and how does it work? Vrbo’s mission is to help guests relax, reconnect, and enjoy precious time together. With [VrboCare™](https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/tlp/trust-and-safety/care-guarantee), you can have peace of mind knowing you’re protected and that if something goes wrong, we will do our best to make it right as applicable. If a significant issue arises that your host can’t resolve, we’ll help you address it, find a similar property, or get your reservation refunded if applicable. That’s our promise. If a home is significantly different than listed, we'll get you into a new space that meets your needs and makes it right, or if a host cancels before your stay, you have a dedicated support team to get you into a similar home as applicable. ### What can I expect from Vrbo customer service and VrboCare™ support? Your peace of mind is our priority. Whether you're planning your trip or have already finished your stay, VrboCare™ is here to support you every step of the way. For urgent situations, such as last-minute cancellations, booking issues, or potential fraud, Vrbo customer service is available 24/7 to support you every step of the way. Vrbo also offers support via live chat through our [Help Centre](https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/helpcenter/?articleId=40104), where you can find helpful resources on bookings, payments, property management, and safety, making it easy to get instant answers to many common questions. ### Can I plan a group trip on Vrbo? Vrbo's [Trip Planner](https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/why/trip-planning) makes organising group trips easy and stress-free. Whether you're planning with friends or coordinating a large group, you can collaborate in one place, save and share properties, vote on favorites, and build the perfect itinerary together. ## More holiday ideas -
