Air bnb Vs VRBO whats the differences

[Jay Hinrichs]

Hey to all you who know whats the difference in the two.. I personally never used Air bnb.. but I did use VRBO I think once... I don't use these myself as I can't get points for free stays like I get at big hotels..

any thoughts on the difference.

Jay,

I feel strongly that you answer everyone's questions all the time, someone should answer yours. So while I'm not the pro at this, I'll give it a whirl.

VRBO arguably has a better web experience and has generally more of the higher end listings. More designed toward families taking nicer vacations

AirBnB arguably has the better mobile experience and has generally more of the more economical listings. I believe AirBnB has more total listings at this time. More designed toward people on the go needing a spot to crash.

That said I think people can do fine on either.

For just you hotels make sense. Try to make it a vacation or add in family these sites do pretty good work. We've used both over the years with a very high satisfaction rate.

I also when I was hustling for a dollar just over 10 years ago ran two VRBO summer weekly rentals in Newport. Worked great for that.

Hope this helps,

Matt
