Sign up

 

To list your property with Vrbo, visit vrbo.com/list. Signing up is free, fast, and easy.

 

You will need the following information to sign up: 

  • Property address
  • Number of bedrooms/bathrooms
  • Your email and phone number

 

Set up your listing

 

Now it’s time to describe your property. We’ll prompt you for the detail travelers want about the rooms and amenities you offer. The information you enter will save automatically, so it’s easy to come back if you don’t have all the answers.

 

Here’s what you’ll need provide:

  • Property type
  • Listing headline and description
  • Accommodates (number of people)
  • Details about rooms, layout, bed size, etc.
  • Available amenities
  • Daily base rate
  • Pictures of rooms, common spaces, and amenities
  • Fees, policies, and deposits (optional)
  • The dates you’re available to welcome guests

There is no up-front cost associated with listing your property on Vrbo. When you receive bookings, you will pay a fee per booking.

Booking fees consist of a 3% payment processing fee and a 5% commission fee, which can be about half the amount of what some platforms charge.

Our easy-to-use owner dashboard will be the primary location for managing your reservations, updating rates, and keeping your listing up to date.

 

If you are a property manager with multiple vacation rentals, you may want to use a connectivity provider to manage your day-to-day operations and listings on Vrbo. We offer seamless API integrations to connect to your software of choice.

Vacation rental connectivity providers offer seamless solutions to manage your business operations efficiently at scale — so you can save time, improve accuracy, and grow bookings.

 

You don't need to work with a connectivity software provider to list your property and get bookings on Vrbo. However, if you have more than 10 properties, using a connectivity software provider will help you manage your properties more easily and effectively.

  

See the list of the connectivity providers integrated with Vrbo and learn more about our Connectivity Provider Program here. You can also explore Escapia, our property management software that helps you meet and exceed your goals.
