Airbnb Alternatives – Heard of Vrbo?
A rental brand similar to Airbnb and under the Expedia brand. With the ever-changing cleaning fees and lack of customer service with Airbnb some renters’ experience, we have decided to update our posts with some options.
So, What Sets Airbnb and Vrbo Apart?
While both online platforms for holiday rentals provide options for short and extended stays and each possesses its own advantages, there exist five notable distinctions between them.
• Vrbo primarily focuses on entire home rentals.
• Airbnb boasts a larger inventory of listings.
• Vrbo typically offers more competitive pricing.
• Airbnb promotes swift review submissions.
• Vrbo excels in customer service.
Check out their rentals here from their USA site, UK Site and Canada Site if you are visiting from any other country click on whichever currency you prefer. The US and Canada links, show prices in dollars and the UK will show prices in pounds but you will still see the same listings for rentals.
