I used VRBO for a weekend trip. I have used VRBO before and have had no issues until this time. When I booked this trip I wasn't notified that they use 3rd / 4th party companies. I was not able to get in touch with anyone for access code or if I could check in earlier than 4pm, without calling vrbo directly. I also noticed that an additional $500.00 was charged for "Service" fees. ( of course the 2 additional companies need to get a "cut") when I reached out to VRBO after returning home. I was on hold for about 40m, when the rep rudely told me they cany do anything to help me. When I asked to speak to a manager they said management doesn't get involved. I am basically at VRBOs mercy hoping I do not get charged for any additional fees after the fact.
