Vrbo

Vrbo is Expedia Group's vacation-rental marketplace for travelers who want a whole place to themselves instead of a hotel room or shared stay. Families, friend groups, pet owners, remote workers, and longer-stay travelers use it to compare houses, cabins, condos, lake rentals, beach homes, and larger properties with kitchens, extra bedrooms, outdoor space, and host communication. Property owners also use Vrbo to list homes for short-term rental demand, so the marketplace has a two-sided audience: guests planning trips and hosts managing vacation-rental supply.

The product is most useful when accommodation details shape the trip. A family can filter for a pool, pet policy, extra bedrooms, and upfront pricing; a group can plan around a house near a tournament or wedding; and a remote worker can look for longer monthly rentals with enough space to live and work. Vrbo's public pages also point travelers toward One Key, VrboCare, messaging, app trip management, and destination guides. For publishers, the strongest content angles are practical vacation-rental planning, family travel, group stays, and alternatives to hotel booking.

Vrbo is promoted through Expedia Group's Travel Creator/Affiliate Program rather than a standalone Vrbo-only affiliate portal. Publishers apply through Expedia Group, get access to affiliate links, widgets, banners, and Creator Toolbox, then send readers to Expedia Group brand pages including Vrbo. The program is built for websites, social creators, blogs, apps, and similar owned channels that can promote travel content under Expedia's partner terms.

The public commission page lists vacation rentals at a 2% standard commission, calculated from net transaction value or rental amount, with commission only on completed qualifying transactions. The booking window is 7 days, and Vrbo-supported points of sale are listed for Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Expedia Group's terms set minimum monthly thresholds of $30, £20, or €30 per currency, with electronic transfer details handled through the affiliate administrator. Public pages identify Partnerize as the payment partner, while the legal terms name Performance Horizon Group Limited as administrator.
