VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) is a large vacation rental-by-owner website. Established in 1995, it has been in the vacation rental business for over 15 years, and it was founded by vacation rental owners who self-manage their second homes. VRBO provides an online space for homeowners to advertise their vacation properties. Currently over 95 million travelers search 140,000+ rentals in over 100 countries worldwide. There is an annual fee of $279 to advertise your home on VRBO, but after that homeowners take bookings directly from travelers and pay VRBO no further commissions.
