Safely for Vrbo-first hosts
Hosts whose primary channel is Vrbo or HomeAway, typically larger properties or family rentals.
Our verdict for Vrbo-first hosts
Okay fit — consider alternatives
Vrbo's damage protection is weaker than Airbnb's AirCover, making Safely's supplemental coverage more valuable — but the same cost math applies.
Why it fits you
- Vrbo's built-in damage protection is less comprehensive, so supplemental coverage fills a real gap
- Guest screening adds a vetting layer Vrbo doesn't provide natively
What might bite you
- Per-night costs still compound at high occupancy regardless of channel
- Coverage exclusions (weather, fine art, 90-day max stay) still apply
