On a typical $200/night World Cup booking for 7 nights ($1,400 total), you could save $150-$220 in platform fees by booking direct through lilo. Over the tournament, that savings could cover an extra night or match tickets. lilo charges just 3% — the lowest service fee in vacation rentals.

Can I find vacation rentals large enough for a group of World Cup fans?+
Absolutely. Many lilo-listed properties sleep 6, 8, 10, or more guests — perfect for traveling with friends or family during the tournament. Filter by guest count to find homes with enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas for your group. Splitting a large rental is often cheaper per person than hotel rooms.
Are there pet-friendly vacation rentals near World Cup venues?+

What is the cancellation policy for World Cup vacation rentals?+
Cancellation policies vary by host and are clearly displayed on each property listing before you book. Many hosts offer flexible or moderate cancellation terms. lilo recommends booking with a flexible policy given the unpredictable nature of tournament schedules and travel plans.

What are the check-in and check-out times for vacation rentals?+
Check-in and check-out times are set by each host and displayed on the property listing. Most rentals offer check-in between 3-5 PM and check-out by 11 AM. Many hosts offer self check-in with smart locks or lockboxes, so you can arrive at your convenience — especially useful for late flights or early matches.
How do I know a vacation rental is safe and legitimate?+
Every property on lilo has a trust score built from verified guest reviews, host responsiveness, documented interactions, and independent records. You can view a property's trust page to see its verification status. lilo's technology creates timestamped records of every interaction, giving you confidence that the property is real, the host is responsive, and your booking is protected.
