Vrbo
Vrbo is a global online vacation-rental marketplace that connects travelers with privately owned vacation homes, condos, cabins, beach houses and other short-term rental accommodations. Travelers can use the platform to search properties, communicate with hosts, make reservations and manage trips. Property owners and professional managers can use Vrbo to advertise vacation rentals, manage availability, receive reservations and communicate with guests.
Vrbo’s history dates to 1995, when Vacation Rentals by Owner was launched as an early online service for vacation-home rentals. The business later became part of HomeAway, which built a large portfolio of vacation-rental websites. Expedia acquired HomeAway in 2015, and the Vrbo brand subsequently became the company’s principal vacation-rental consumer brand. Today, Vrbo operates as part of Expedia Group.
For U.S. legal and contracting purposes, Vrbo services are operated through HomeAway.com, Inc., which currently lists its office at 11920 Alterra Parkway, Austin, Texas 78758. Expedia Group’s principal executive headquarters, however, are located at 1111 Expedia Group Way W., Seattle, Washington 98119. Vrbo should therefore be described as an Expedia Group brand with major legal and operating roots in Austin, rather than as a separately traded company with an independent corporate headquarters.
Vrbo does not publish a separate public corporate switchboard specifically for its Austin office.
