Negotiate a Last-Minute Rate for Cheap Vacation Rentals?

Sites like Airbnb and VRBO are fantastic alternatives to a cramped hotel room.

I actually managed my parent’s beach condo for the past few years on VRBO.

Inevitably, slow periods happen and vacation rental owners don’t get paid if their place sits empty.

If they don’t budge on the fee (or very little) consider asking for a free night.

This works really well if you are staying at least 3 or more nights.

Simply ask if they would consider throwing in your last night for free.

Another good tip is to ask if the cleaning fee could be waived.

This has a potential savings of $75-$250 depending on the size of the place.

Be sure to try it when booking your spring travel plans this year.

Be polite, be reasonable, and both parties will undoubtedly come out ahead.
