VRBO reservations can be canceled directly through Rentals United (RU), there’s no need to cancel them separately on the channel itself.

When you cancel a reservation in RU, it will automatically be updated as canceled in MAPRO.


This procedure only applies to reservations connected directly to VRBO via Rentals United.
Reservations made via iCal must be canceled directly on the channel.

 

Important: The cancellation status on VRBO may take up to 24 hours to update. The change will only appear on the channel after that time.
