How strict is Vrbo? Vrbo isn't very strict in terms of enforcing ID verification checks for its guests. They don't complete background checks outside the personal information a guest provides. A host can request a government ID to stay at their vacation rental site but this is completely optional.
However, we often encourage potential guests to “book direct.” In other words, we advise guests to forego platforms like VRBO, Homeaway, or Airbnb. Trust us – there's a good reason for this! It's because these platforms charge guests an additional fee for their services.
Keep in mind, however, that while VRBO offers fewer rentals, they only list whole houses, condos, or apartments. Users can rest assured that they will not be sharing space with the homeowner or other guests.
The 'cancel without penalty' option you want to use is 'I don't feel comfortable with this guest. ' The fewer details you give when you do this, the better. (You can do 3 of these cancels a year for free, but you'll lose Superhost status before you hit that limit.)
