The published facts, in plain English
iTrip is a franchise operator based in Brentwood, TN, covering 100+ destinations (US/Canada). No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. Published portfolio size: Thousands (network). Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: 80+ franchisees, no single service standard; opaque owner fees.
Who it’s for
This company suits property owners in the US and Canada seeking a large network. With over 100 destinations, iTrip's franchise model could offer local expertise, but owners must be aware that management fees are set by individual franchisees and are not published by the company.
Our take
iTrip operates as a giant franchise, boasting thousands of listings across more than 100 destinations in the US and Canada. The company has over 80 franchisees, which means there isn't a single service standard. Critically, the management fee is not published by iTrip, as it is determined by each franchisee. This lack of transparency regarding fees and the variable service standards are points owners must consider carefully.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Because iTrip keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against One Fine BnB, which states 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer openly. Published pricing is one of the things we weight most heavily.
Verdict
iTrip's expansive network is its main draw, but the opaque and variable management fees, along with inconsistent service standards due to its franchise model, make it a less straightforward choice for owners. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with iTrip
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Home Team Luxury Rentals — does not publish a price.
- Great Dwellings — does not publish a price.
- Host & Keep — 20% (published).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is One Fine BnB — see Airbnb management company for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
