This has got to be the biggest crock of bs that I&#8217;ve seen in a while. I mean yea, if something goes wrong you get your money back, right? Whoopty do!<\/p>\n<p>As an owner of a vacation property I can tell you straight up that VRBO can guarantee absolutely nothing about my property. I think I speak on behalf of most vacation rental owners that VRBO cannot guarantee anything about their properties either. Without this post getting too long I want to touch on the major points of VRBO&#8217;s &#8220;<b>Book With Confidence Guarantee<\/b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>VRBO says, &#8220;<em><strong>100% of your security deposit is covered if it\u2019s wrongfully withheld<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Again I say whoopty do! If you pay with your credit card or with paypal your security deposit is also covered by them if it is wrongfully withheld. \u00a0Take notice to VRBO&#8217;s caveat here: &#8220;wrongfully withheld&#8221;. \u00a0Who gets to decide that? \u00a0Something tells me it&#8217;s not you!<\/li>\n<li>VRBO says they, &#8220;<i><strong>Protect 100% of your payment against things like listing fraud, phishing, property significantly misrepresented, wrongful denial of entry, or uninhabitable property upon arrival.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> &#8211; Um, so does that little 1-800 number on the back of your credit card. \u00a0So does Paypal&#8217;s dispute process.<\/li>\n<li>VRBO says, &#8220;<em><strong>Find another vacation rental should your booking be cancelled by an owner or manager at the last minute.<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; &#8211; So let me get this straight. If the reservation is cancelled then we&#8217;ll have to look for another rental? Isn&#8217;t that what we all would do? I&#8217;m really not seeing any value in this at all, and certainly not something worth paying over $100 for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, now. I usually don&#8217;t bother other companies when they post their little gimmicks to try to drum up business. Where I do get rustled up is when VRBO makes guarantees about my property and other owners&#8217; properties, none of which have been granted to VRBO. I have never given authorization to VRBO to make guarantees about my property. Only I make guarantees about my property.<\/p>\n<p>VRBO has a lot of vacation rental owners mad at them right now because of the greedy tactics they are employing since they were purchased by Expedia a while back. The owner community has been busy educating the public of VRBO&#8217;s tactics over the past year, and it&#8217;s paying off. If VRBO knew what was good for them they would focus on being a lead generation website instead of trying to pass themselves off as some sort of online travel agency.<\/p>\n<p>If you take away nothing else from this please know this. <strong>There is no possible way VRBO can make guarantees about properties they do not own<\/strong>. Only an owner can do that. Avoid unnecessary VRBO service fees. Book directly with the owner. Protect your purchase by paying with your credit card or Paypal!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Vacationing!<\/p>\n<p><center>***<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Truth About VRBO Book With Confidence Guarantee What&#8217;s up with VRBO posting all over the internet that they can &#8220;guarantee&#8221; your booking?
