Can I Save 20% Off at VRBO?
You can save 20% at VRBO but there are a couple of caveats. First of all you must use the dedicated landing page linked to above. Secondly, the properties available at that discount may be limited in the area you are searching. Generally this is because they are new listings. They are being offered at a discounted rate possibly because the properties have few reviews, or it could be the host is new. This is a brilliant tactic to increase bookings at such newly listed properties.
Summary
VRBO doesn’t offer coupons for guests but provides a way to save 20% on newly listed homes using a specific link. Hosts can find coupons redeemable towards annual subscriptions when listing a property for the first time. To use a coupon, guests should choose the ‘I’m a guest’ option for a 20% discount, while hosts should select ‘I’m a host.’ During the signup process for hosts, click “Consider a subscription” and choose an annual subscription. This will give hosts an opportunity to redeem a coupon.
VRBO Fees and Coupons Explained
Vrbo charges a service fee over and above the price set by the homeowner, it may only be a small percentage of the total price, but it’s still inflates the price that guests pay.
If Vrbo were to offer a coupon, it could only apply to the service fee (which is a small part of the overall rental). So the coupon wouldn’t result in a huge savings for the guest – because the larger portion of the cost comes from the rental price set by the homeowner.
