VRBO - added "fee's" hurting my rental driving business away

[Michael Pulka]

I'm using VRBO (for my vacation rental) but have had a bunch of potential renters turn away as a result of all the added fee's that VRBO attaches to the quote.  In some cases these additional fee's can be almost double my basic nightly rate.  

I'd like to keep using VRBO for the exposure but I'd like to create a work-around to avoid all the excessive fee's imposed on renters and thus driving them away.

I'd like to know what others are doing out there who've also seen this?  What works for you?

I use VACASA. So far so good. I've been with them about 1yr and they don't nickel and dime you with fees or linen re-ups.
