Want to make you aware of a scam that the new owners of Homeaway/VRBO (Expedia) have instituted. They are adding a "service" fee which all goes to them, not the owners of a villa. The fee is 4-10% of the villa rental fee. The only way to avoid this fee is to work with the villa owner direct, so if you find a villa you want on the Homeaway/VRBO sites, contact the villa owner directly and work with them. Do NOT book thru Homeaway/VRBO as then you will be paying the "service" fee as well as a credit card fee of another 3% There is talk of a class action lawsuit for this scam. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" />
