When VacationRenter launched in 2018, our mission was simple: fix a fragmented travel landscape by simplifying the search process. We didn’t just want to build another booking site; we wanted to build the best one, creating a single platform where travelers could find the perfect stay anywhere in the world.
The response was immediate. In just two years, we surpassed $1 billion in gross bookings, becoming the fastest-growing travel startup to ever hit that milestone.
But as we scaled, it became clear that our name didn’t fully reflect the business we had built.
Since the beginning, our platform has offered much more than vacation rentals. We are the go-to destination for beachside villas, downtown hotels, luxury resorts, premium RVs, remote cabins, and more. We serve a global community of explorers, supporting 25 languages and 34 currencies to ensure travelers everywhere can book with ease and confidence.
We needed a brand that resonated with every traveler, in every language, and across every accommodation we offer.
Today, I am thrilled to announce that VacationRenter is now Vogo.
Why Vogo?
Vogo reflects the simplicity and speed of the platform you already know. It is dynamic, modern, and—most importantly—universal. Vogo is a brand created to feel as at-home in Tokyo, Lima, or Berlin as it does in Dallas.
While our name has changed, the company and engine powering your trips remains the same.
Our proprietary technology continues to scan billions of data points to surface the best accommodation based on your criteria at the lowest current rate. Whether that search connects you to a partner or allows you to book directly on our platform, the seamless experience you trust remains exactly the same. We have simply adopted a name that fits the engine.
Looking Ahead
To the millions of travelers who have trusted us to find the best accommodation, thank you. You can continue to expect the same seamless experience, now under a brand that matches the limitless possibilities of your travel plans. Whether it’s a lakeside home, hotel for a business trip, cross-country RV rental, or a resort for a family getaway, Vogo is here to help.
And to our incredible team and partners, I am incredibly proud of the foundation we have built, and I am excited to see us continue to push the boundaries of innovation under a banner that is ours to shape.
Welcome to Vogo.
Heath Hammett
CEO, Vogo
