BBB Says Be Careful When Booking Your Vacation

(Undated) – It’s summer vacation time and the Better Business Bureau is offering some advice when booking a stay. BBB Investigator, Don O’Brien, says if you are leaning toward a vacation rental, watch out for properties that either aren’t for rent, don’t exist, or are significantly different than pictures. He says AirBnB an VRBO do a good job of vetting their listings.

O’Brien says to watch out for the promise of low fees and great amenities, especially if your contact tries to create a false sense of urgency.
