Airbnb vs VBRO for short term rentals

[Kimberly N.]

Anyone have experience with short term rentals as in Airbnb & VBRO? What are the benefits to one over the other?

[Timothy Church]

I find the best answer is use both!

AirBnB
3% commission
Collects and remits State HOT tax for most areas (does not collect local HOT tax
Good advertising
Good integrations

VRBO
8% or $399/year subscription
Collects tax rate that you set and you pay taxes
Good advertising
Okay integrations

If you export both calendars to the other portal, you can use both sites without having double bookings.
