VRBO Guest screening

Amir Portal
Posted

Hey everyone,

I mainly use VRBO and feel like their guest screening is pretty weak compared to Airbnb.
I’m currently looking into Truvi and Autohost and wanted to hear what’s actually common in the industry today.

For those with experience:

  • What are you using for guest screening?
  • Which is better in real life , Truvi or Autohost?
  • Does it actually help prevent fraud/parties/bad guests?
  • And does the damage protection from Truvi/Safely really work when there’s an actual claim?

Would love to hear real experiences from VRBO hosts/property managers 🙏

Hotels don't screen guests and neither do I.
