Before secure property access details are released, the primary reservation holder must complete LVMR’s required pre-arrival check-in through the LVMR Guest Hub.

For Vrbo reservations, this includes guest registration, rental agreement acceptance, identity verification where permitted by Vrbo policy, and completion of the required damage-protection selection.

Guests choose one of two damage-protection options:

• Nonrefundable accidental damage waiver
• Refundable security authorization hold

Guests are not charged for both. The refundable option is a temporary authorization hold, not a completed charge.

Secure access details are released only after all required pre-arrival steps are complete.
