HomeAway, a firm long before Airbnb became a household name, provides an alternative to the Airbnb experience. In the mid-2000s, HomeAway began purchasing prominent vacation rental websites like VRBO and VacationRentals.com, which fueled the company's expansion. More than a million listings are available on the company's 40 websites, which operate in 22 languages. HomeAway differs from Airbnb because it does not directly control the renting experience. The business does accept payments, but it is more of a classified system for holiday rentals than a supervisor of the vacation rental experience.
