Vrbo refunds take up to five days and are issued based on each property's cancelation policy. You can view each property's cancelation policy by visiting the property listing page and selecting Policies. Some properties may not have a refund policy.
Take note of the property's time zone and ensure you cancel by 11:59 PM. Make sure you also understand the total amount to be refunded and the amount paid to date.

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like VRBO in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Get a Refund from VRBO? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
