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, use 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:

  1. Go to Vrbo.com and choose "Traveler Login"
