Vrbo

VRBO, which stands for Vacation Rentals by Owner, is a popular online vacation rental marketplace based in the United States. The company was founded in 1995 by husband-and-wife team David and Lynn Clouse in order to provide a platform for homeowners to rent out their properties directly to travelers. VRBO quickly gained traction and became one of the pioneers in the vacation rental industry. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, VRBO operates as a subsidiary of Expedia Group since 2015. The company’s headquarters in Austin serves as its main hub for operations, including customer support, marketing, and product development.
