Because Vrbo rules for guests are part of the rental agreement, if your guests violate your custom house rules, you can report them to Vrbo and request compensation for any damages or extra fees. You can also cancel their reservation or ask them to leave without offering a refund if the violation is severe or repeated.

Vrbo's guest ID verification is lighter. Vrbo uses data such as a guest's email address, date of birth and physical address to perform basic background checks. To confirm that the account actually belongs to them, guests receive a unique link in their email which must be clicked to confirm their identity.
