When we recently joined the Expedia group as an affiliate, one of the side benefits was that the VRBO brand was made available to us (and you.) This may seem like a simple distinction, but there is actually a lot more to the hookup than you might think. Expedia is, of course, a travel giant and really doesn’t need much introduction. But, there may be some of you who might not know what VRBO is all about. There is an important distinction between the two brands.
VRBO is short for Vacation Rentals by Owner. So, when you rent with VRBO, you are renting from people – many like you or me – who are offering their property for you to stay. When you book with VRBO, it’s not a faceless rental office, nor a bot that makes the recommendations. It’s real people.


The long and short of this distinction is that you’re not only enjoying a new experience, but you’re also making a difference for the hosts and for you. We know about this first hand, as we worked for Expedia companies in the past. VRBO is real people, real experiences. To book your stay, click here.


Don’t forget that, in addition to stays, Expedia and VRBO offer cars, activities and more. Click here.
