Vacation Home Rentals is a better site for rental vacation homes and condos all around the United States and in International destinations than VRBO. VRBO doesn’t have nearly as many features as Vacation Home Rentals, and it is the features that VRBO lacks, that makes Vacation Home Rentals the best site on the Internet to Rent Vacation Homes by Owner. Vacation Home Rentals is a better site to list vacation homes for rent by owner than VRBO for the following reasons:
- Vacation Home Rentals comes with a Free 60 day trial period; VRBO does not have a free trial period.
Once you begin your 60 day trial with Vacation Home Rentals, you will have full access to list your Vacation Rentals by Owner, and soon you will see your calendar filling up with customers. VRBO is unable to offer a free trial because they aren’t as confident in their services as Vacation Home Rentals. We offer the free trial to our customers because we know our services and support will surpass that of VRBO.
- Vacation Home Rentals allows you to show an unlimited number of photos for free, VRBO only allows five photos before they start charging additional fees.
Since VRBO limits the amount of pictures a vacation rental owner can show, they are limiting the vacation rental owner’s chances of booking up their vacation home. Vacation Home Rentals is only interested in booking your vacation rentals out as much as possible, and one of the ways we help the owner and their listing, is by offering an unlimited amount of pictures of their property.
- Vacation Home Rentals costs $99 for a full year, VRBO costs $249 per year.
Need we say more? VRBO’s vacation rentals by owner listings are overpriced when compared with Vacation Home Rentals. Getting 16 photos on your VRBO listing will cost you a whopping $546 per year! VRBO doesn’t provide nearly as many tools or support for both the vacation rental owner or for the customer as Vacation Home Rentals.
- Vacation Home Rentals shows you a local area map and local area weather, VRBO keeps you guessing by not providing local information.
VRBO is only interested in getting your listing on their site. VRBO doesn’t think about what should happen after your vacation rental is listed, and VRBO doesn’t give the customer very much information on the geographical area where property listing is located. We pick up where VRBO left off. We offer a local area map and weather so that you know the customer will be informed and interested when they are looking through your property listings. The more tools a customer has in front of them will make their decision to book your vacation rental by owner an easy choice.
- Vacation Home Rentals allows you to email listings to friends, VRBO doesn’t offer an easy email feature.
Customers on Vacation Home Rentals can email their favorite listings to other family members, friends or the other people they are planning on traveling with to your vacation rental. VRBO doesn’t have an email to a friend option which will leave a customer more indecisive, leading to less bookings for your vacation rental property.
- Vacation Home Rentals lets you save rentals to a favorites list, VRBO doesn’t have a favorites list, making it tricky remembering which homes you like.
At Vacation Home Rentals, we allow customers to build a favorites list with your properties so that they don’t have to try and remember them all. VRBO doesn’t have this option and they pay the price in less bookings for their vacation home rentals by owner.
- Vacation Home Rentals shows you detailed statistics about your rental traffic, VRBO keeps you guessing.
VRBO makes it difficult for property owners to see what's happening on their listing and what items people are clicking on. At Vacation Home Rentals, we provide detailed statistics for our customers so they are fully informed about their vacation rentals.
Vacation Home Rentals has more tools at a better price than VRBO, to help you get the most out of your Vacation Rental by Owner property listing. Here's a side-by-side comparison of VRBO and Vacation Home Rentals:
