What is Vrbo?

Vrbo (pronounced see-bohfrom English Vacation Rentals by Owner) is a global platform that connects travelers with owners of vacation rental properties. It works in a similar way to Airbnb, but with a focus on entire homes - no shared rooms or sharing space with the host.

It's ideal for those traveling with family, groups of friends, couples who want privacy or even those who are setting up a home office overlooking the sea.

And the difference? Vrbo bets on spacious properties, strategic locations and promotions that make the value of the stay really pay off - like the packages with free nights.

How do packages with free nights work?

Here's how it works: when you book 7 nights or moreMany hosts registered on the platform offer one or more nights as a courtesy. In other words, you pay for 6 nights and stay 7. In some cases, you can stay up to 10 nights for 8. It all depends on the configuration made by the person advertising the property.

This type of promotion appears in the ad with the following signage:
"Stay 7 nights, pay 6" or "Discount on weekly stays".

It's a way for hosts to guarantee occupancy for longer, which is good for them - and even better for you, who save money without giving up comfort.

Why is booking for a week worth it?

In addition to the free daily rate, a longer stay gives you other advantages:

• Best value for moneyThe price per night tends to be cheaper the more days you book.
• More time to get to know the destination
• Less rush and stress with check-in and check-out
• Greater chance of negotiating with the host if you want to include something extra

Not to mention that, depending on the destination, the cost of transportation, tickets and food for a few extra days doesn't increase so much - and you can stretch out your break by spending little extra.

Where can I find Vrbo offers?

It's simple:

• Visit the website or Vrbo app

• Search for your desired destination
• Filter by dates with 7 nights or more
• Look at the ads with promotion signs (they usually appear prominently)
• Check the rules: some require specific dates or may limit the offer to certain times of the year

You can also use filters such as "Price per night" or "Weekly discounts" to refine the results and make sure you're making the most of the savings.
