VRBO is no longer a good way to save money on your vacation. You used to be able to negotiate a good price with the owner. Since Expedia bought them out, you can no longer do this, or even ask questions about the vacation home. VRBO wants you to book instantly and then they add a large service fee of up to 12% to the overall cost. I got a better price from booking through a management company. VRBO is ripping people off.
