What iTrip Vacations actually is

iTrip Vacations, founded in 2008, is a franchise network spanning roughly 100–110 destinations across about 23 states plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico, with 4,000+ properties across 100+ locally owned offices according to third-party figures. Everything consequential about iTrip follows from the word franchise: the fee, the contract, the cleaning standard and the person who answers when a guest is locked out at midnight are all set by the local office. A rave review of iTrip in Gulf Shores tells you nothing whatsoever about iTrip in Sedona.

What it costs, and what the number really buys

Not published. Third-party sources cite roughly 25% of booking revenue — reported, not published — and each franchisee sets its own rate regardless. If you are quoted 25%, ask precisely what sits inside it: whether cleaning is passed through at cost, whether maintenance carries a markup, and whether there is a linen, supply or card-processing fee on top. The gap between 25% and 25%-plus-everything-else is where most owner disappointment lives.

Do you keep your Airbnb listing?

No. iTrip distributes hard — the company claims 80+ listing sites — and all of that distribution runs through its accounts rather than yours. Wide distribution is a real strength and it is also the exact mechanism by which you stop owning the guest relationship. You get more channels and less control at the same time, which is the aggregator trade in its purest form.

Contract, notice and getting out

Not published; set by each local franchisee. This matters more at iTrip than elsewhere because the aggregate third-party review scores are poor: Trustpilot around 1.3 out of 5 and BBB 1.0 out of 5, with recurring complaints about deferred maintenance, listing accuracy and double bookings. Individual offices do have good owner testimonials. But when the downside case is that visible, the exit clause is the term you negotiate hardest.

Who iTrip Vacations is right for

You can meet the local franchisee, tour their homes and call their existing owners.
Maximum channel distribution is your priority.
You want a local operator with a national booking engine behind them.

And who should keep looking

You would sign on the strength of the national brand.
You cannot do local diligence before signing.
You want published fees and contract terms.

What this profile was built from

Verified 2026-08-28. Where a fee, contract term or go-live time is described as reported or estimated, the company does not publish it and we have not invented one.
