No, VRBO is not covered under the Costco Credit Card travel insurance. That’s because the Costco Credit Card travel insurance coverage consists of travel accident insurance and rental car insurance. Seeing as how you can’t book travel tickets or car rentals through VRBO, then the Costco Credit Card won’t provide any coverage.
However, VRBO does provide certain types of insurance to its customers, including the following:
- Arrangement of Lodging: Provides alternative accommodations if you can’t get into the property or if it was significantly misrepresented online.
- Rebooking Another Property: In case the host wrongfully cancels your booking, VRBO can help you book similar accommodations.
- Loss Reimbursement: If your payment ends up in the hands of someone other than the host, or if the host wrongfully withholds your damage deposit after your stay, you can get reimbursed.
Credit card travel insurance typically offers coverage for travel accidents, flight delays and unexpected medical expenses. Unfortunately, vacation rentals booked through platforms such as VRBO do not fall into those categories.
