Vacation rental properties on Expedia TAAP come from two sources: Expedia and Vrbo/HomeAway.
- Expedia: This is also where Expedia TAAP's traditional accommodations (such as hotels) are sourced from. The support model remains the same and these vacation rental bookings can be managed directly with Expedia TAAP.
- Vrbo/HomeAway: This is another Expedia Group brand that offers over 2 million vacation rental properties. Some of these Vrbo properties are made available via Expedia TAAP. If you need to cancel these bookings, you'll need to use the Virtual Agent (if available) or manage it directly with Vrbo.
This article teaches you how to manage an existing vacation rental property booking which has been sourced from Vrbo. You can identify properties that have been sourced from Vrbo as the Reservation ID starts with HA (example below). To learn how to identify Vrbo properties before placing the booking, please read the Booking a vacation rental guide.
Tip: if you simply want to cancel your Vrbo booking, we recommend using the Virtual Agent in Expedia TAAP as this will be the quickest and easiest option. The Virtual Agent is currently available in English in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, India, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. If you are located outside of these countries or if you want to modify a Vrbo booking, please follow the steps below:
-
Go to Vrbo.com and choose "Traveler Login"
-
Log in to Vrbo
Enter your Expedia TAAP email address. Then input your First Name, Last Name, and Expedia TAAP password. Then click "Sign Up" which will link your Vrbo and TAAP accounts.
-
Go to "My Trips"
-
Choose the booking you want to manage
-
A) Contact the property manager, B) Request to modify the booking, or C) Request to cancel
You can send a message to the property manager at any time. If you prefer to call the property manager and their phone number is made available, please keep the potential time difference in mind.
