The average basket size for vacation rentals and packages in our database is a staggering $1,087. This high transaction value means even modest commission rates can deliver substantial payouts. Yet, navigating this space is more complicated than ever. With Airbnb's affiliate program long gone, many creators are left wondering where the real earning potential lies.

This analysis cuts through the noise to reveal the best vacation rental affiliate programs and top vacation package affiliate programs that actually convert and pay. We've compiled performance data from 297 programs across 10 networks to identify the partners that actually convert and pay. While only 49% of programs in this category report any EPC data, the ones that do provide a clear map of where to focus your efforts. Forget the household names with opaque terms; the data points to a collection of niche, high-performing programs that deliver measurable results.

Vacation Rentals & Packages Affiliate Programs Compared by EPC

This table ranks the top programs from our database based on a composite score that balances EPC, data completeness, and other performance metrics. EPC is a strong indicator, but it's just one piece of the puzzle.

GuestReady posts a $1.83 EPC on Skimlinks, with an 8.2% conversion rate on professionally managed properties across Europe and the Middle East. A 5% commission on a $448 average basket makes it a solid mid-tier option for affiliates targeting high-service vacation rentals, though a 9.5% reversal rate is worth monitoring. Note: GuestReady's March 2026 data showed an exceptional outlier EPC ($9.25, CVR 29.2%) that has since normalised and is excluded from our ranked table.

Plum Guide's US program on FlexOffers shows an impressive $8.99 EPC, securing its high rank. The platform, which curates high-end, vetted vacation homes, clearly attracts a premium clientele. However, the data is thin; FlexOffers doesn't provide conversion, cookie, or basket size metrics. This means the high EPC is a strong signal, but one that requires your own testing to verify. The 5.6% commission rate is solid for the luxury market, but be aware that their Partnerize program advertises a higher 7.7% rate, though without any EPC data to compare.

With a $5.96 EPC on Impact, Luxury Escapes demonstrates strong earning potential despite a seemingly low 1% baseline commission. This combination indicates extremely high average order values for their curated, high-end vacation packages. The brand is well-known for offering unique, unbeatable deals, which likely drives high-intent traffic. Like Plum Guide, the data from Impact is limited, lacking basket size or conversion rates. Affiliates should focus on the high EPC as a sign of value and test accordingly. Note that their FlexOffers program shows a much lower EPC but a higher 3.6% commission, a classic trade-off worth investigating.

Avg Basket

RVezy, a leading RV rental marketplace in North America, earns its spot with a $2.31 EPC on Impact. The program operates on a flat-rate commission—$50 for a completed booking and $25 for a new RV listing—which means the EPC metric can understate the payout for high-converting traffic. For an audience of RV travelers or outdoor enthusiasts, this CPA model can be very effective. The lack of supporting metrics from Impact means you're flying blind on conversion rates, but the strong EPC and clear payout structure make it a compelling option in a booming niche.

Conv. Rate
Reversal
Avg Basket

It's no surprise to see a Disney-related program perform well. The official vacation package program for EMEA delivers a $1.61 EPC on CJ. The power here is brand recognition. Audiences searching for Disney vacations are typically high-intent and ready to book, which offsets the modest 3% commission. Bookings for Disney are often high-value family packages, so the absolute commission per sale can be significant. The CJ data is sparse, but the brand's gravity and solid EPC make it a must-consider for any family travel creator.

Avg Basket

Specializing in discounted all-inclusive packages to Mexico and the Caribbean, All Inclusive Outlet achieves a respectable $1.45 EPC on Impact. Similar to Luxury Escapes, the 1% commission rate on Impact is deceiving. The high EPC suggests that customers are booking expensive, multi-person vacation packages, leading to strong earnings per click. For affiliates targeting budget-conscious travelers looking for easy, bundled vacations, this program is a strong contender. The Mavely network offers a higher 2.8% commission, but without EPC data, it's impossible to know if it performs better.

The numbers for Solmar Villas speak for themselves: an enormous $3,889 average basket size. Even with a sub-1% conversion rate (0.61%), that AOV drives a $1.19 EPC. A 5% commission on a nearly $4k booking is a ~$200 payout. This program is ideal for affiliates whose audiences are planning large group or family trips and value the security of ABTA & ATOL protection. The 0% reversal rate on Skimlinks adds a layer of confidence that these high-value commissions will stick.

Targeting the UK luxury staycation market, Habitat Escapes delivers a solid $1.16 EPC. The key metrics here are the high $1,693 average basket and a strong 3.42% conversion rate. This indicates their offering of high-end lakeside rentals with spa access resonates well with referred traffic. While the 2% commission seems low, it still translates to an average payout of around $34 per booking. For affiliates with a UK-based or UK-bound audience interested in premium, local getaways, this is a standout performer with a 0% reversal rate.

This is the only program in our top 10 with fully transparent data on Skimlinks. Vacances Lagrange, focusing on French and European family rentals, offers a healthy 4.6% commission on an $868 average basket, converting at 2.4%. This generates a respectable $0.96 EPC. The one major red flag is the 16.1% reversal rate, which is significantly higher than others on this list. Affiliates should factor this into their potential earnings, as roughly one in six commissions may be canceled. The 23-day cookie is a definite plus.

As the primary alternative to Airbnb, Vrbo is a brand affiliates need to consider. The Canadian program on CJ shows a $1.18 EPC with a 2% commission, landing it in our top 10. The strong EPC is driven by Vrbo's massive brand recognition and inventory, which appeals to family and group travelers. Like many programs on CJ, performance data beyond EPC is not disclosed, so you can't see the underlying AOV or conversion rate. However, the EPC figure alone confirms that this is a program capable of generating solid revenue, particularly for Canadian-focused traffic.

What About Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com?

It's impossible to discuss vacation rentals without mentioning the giants. You've probably noticed that while a regional Vrbo program made our list, Airbnb and Booking.com are conspicuously absent from the data-driven top 10. Here’s why.

Airbnb shut down its guest booking affiliate program (the "Associates" program) in 2021. The only way to partner with them now is through their host referral program, which pays for referring new property owners, not for booking stays. This is a completely different model and not comparable to the programs in our analysis.

Vrbo is a viable option, as shown by its Canadian program ranking seventh. As part of the Expedia Group, it's widely available on networks like CJ. However, the lack of transparent data (like basket size and conversion rate) across all its regional programs can make it difficult for it to outrank more transparent, niche competitors in our composite scoring system, even if the brand recognition is higher.

Booking.com uses a revenue share model that's difficult to compare directly with EPC. They offer affiliates 25-40% of the commission *Booking.com* earns from the property, not a percentage of the total booking value. This can be lucrative, but the lack of a standardized EPC reported through networks means it doesn't surface in a purely data-driven ranking like ours. It remains a powerful tool, but one whose performance is harder to predict without sending traffic.

Data Insights

Vacation Rentals & Packages: What the Data Shows

The vacation rental and package category is defined by high-value transactions but suffers from poor data transparency. A full 51% of the 297 programs in our database have a "ghost rate"—they report no EPC data, making performance impossible to gauge without sending test traffic. Networks like Awin and Skimlinks tend to offer the most complete metrics, while many programs on Rakuten and Partnerize remain black boxes.

The average basket size, across the handful of programs that report it, is an impressive $1,087. This is why programs with commissions as low as 1-2% can still generate high EPCs; the sheer value of the booking makes up for the small percentage. However, affiliates should also watch reversal rates. The category average is 8.1%, but we see outliers like Vacances Lagrange at a concerning 16.1%, which can significantly eat into profits.

If you're looking for adjacent opportunities, consider high-end hotel programs. Niche luxury brands like Movich Hotels and Como Hotels and Resorts demonstrate that targeting high-net-worth travelers can yield top-tier returns — though their EPC data has dropped significantly since early 2026 and should be verified before committing traffic.

Data Insight

High basket size is the most important metric in this category. A 2% commission from a program like BYOjet with a $4,418 average basket can yield an $88 commission per sale, far outpacing a 5% commission on a more typical $448 basket from a program like GuestReady, which yields about $22.

How to Choose a Vacation Rental Affiliate Program

Beyond matching a program to your audience, use performance data to make smarter choices. First, prioritize programs with transparent metrics. The data in our analysis comes overwhelmingly from Skimlinks and CJ, which offer better visibility into EPC and conversion rates. A program that hides its performance is a risky bet.

Second, weigh commission rates against basket size. A low commission on a high-ticket package tour can be far more profitable than a high commission on a single-night rental. For example, Solmar Villas offers a 5% commission, but with a $3,889 average basket, the potential payout is huge. Don't be seduced by high percentages alone; do the math on the likely transaction value.

Finally, scrutinize the reversal rate. A high rate can decimate your earnings, especially with long payout cycles tied to completed travel. Vacances Lagrange has a strong offer on paper but a 16.1% reversal rate, a significant risk factor. In contrast, several top programs like GuestReady and Habitat Escapes report 0% reversals, offering much more predictable revenue.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Vrbo affiliate program pay in commission rate?

The Vrbo affiliate program pays a commission rate of around 2% on completed bookings through networks like CJ. While some sources report rates up to 6%, our data from the CJ network consistently shows a 2% rate for the Canadian program. Mavely offers a 1.4% commission. Payouts typically occur after the traveler has completed their stay.

Why did Airbnb stop its Associates program?

Airbnb discontinued its guest-focused affiliate program, known as the Associates program, in March 2021. The company did not provide a specific public reason, but such decisions are often made to cut costs, shift marketing focus to other channels, or bring customer acquisition in-house. They now focus exclusively on a referral program for bringing new hosts to the platform, not for booking stays.

Does Vrbo have an affiliate program? Is it free to join?

Yes, Vrbo has an affiliate program and it is free to join through affiliate networks like CJ (Commission Junction) and Travelpayouts. Affiliates can earn commissions by referring travelers who book vacation rentals. There is no cost to sign up as a publisher on these networks.

Do affiliates earn more from travel packages compared to individual bookings?

Yes, affiliates often earn higher total commissions from travel packages. While commission rates for packages may be lower (e.g., 2%), the average basket size is significantly larger. Our data shows package programs like BYOjet have an average basket of $4,418, which can result in an $88 commission. This is often much higher than a 5% commission on a single hotel or rental booking with a smaller basket size.
