Vrbo Owner Fees
Own or manage a Vrbo property? Whenever a traveler books your listing, you’ll be responsible for a certain commission in exchange for listing your vacation rental.
Expect a 5% commission charged for the rental amount and any fees, including the cleaning or pet fees and any additional payments.
There will be a 3% payment processing fee charged on the total payment amount you receive from your traveler, including taxes and refundable damage deposits.
Fees will vary depending on several factors, and each host may charge differently. If you’re unclear about what to expect, always contact your Vrbo host or Vrbo customer service to get answers.
Vrbo Service Fees
Varies by host, but will typically be at least 8% of the booking cost.
Taxes
Varies by listing, but may include a local, federal, and value-added tax.
Vrbo Cleaning Fees
Varies by listing, but typically ranges between $15 to $200 depending on your unique properties features.
Vrbo Pet Fees
If your Vrbo listing is pet-friendly, the owner may charge either a daily or flat-rate fee. If it’s not listed, message your host for an exact rate.
Hosts are unable to waive or discount the service fee at the time of booking. Should you cancel your booking within the cancellation window (varies by host), you’ll automatically be refunded your service fee amount.
Contact Vrbo Customer Service if you run into any issues with having your service fee refunded from your host.
