On October 29, 2026, Vrbo moves pay-per-booking hosts to a single 12% commission. Hosts without property management software had been paying about 8%: a 5% commission plus 3% for payment processing. Vrbo says the new rate covers processing where it handles the payment, and that it runs 12–15% depending on region; hosts on a subscription switch when their current term ends.
