Finding a vacation rental as a military family shouldn’t be this hard. Asking for an Airbnb military discount or VRBO military discount can be uncomfortable, and too often, the answer is no — or worse, silence.
That’s why we built Crewdogs: a platform created by and for the military community, where every listing comes with built-in savings and trusted hosts. No awkward messages. No inflated service fees. Just verified military rentals by owner.
Founded by a former C-17 pilot and his family, Crewdogs exists to serve a community that serves others. We knew military families needed a better way to travel — one that was affordable, trustworthy, and deeply connected to those who’ve worn the uniform. Crewdogs is that solution.
Airbnb and VRBO serve the masses, but they miss the mark for military travelers. There’s no easy way to know if a host supports the military. Discounts aren’t built in. Fees add up. And you’re left wondering: who am I booking with?
VRBO does not offer a platform-wide military discount. Some individual hosts may choose to offer one, but it’s not guaranteed or standardized. You typically have to message the host, ask for it, and provide proof of service — often without any upfront confirmation.
Airbnb does not provide an official military discount. Like VRBO, it’s up to individual hosts. Most guests won’t see any savings unless they specifically ask, and there’s no built-in system for verifying military status or automatically applying discounts.
Crewdogs was built exclusively for the military community. Every user is verified through ID.me or military email, and military discounts are automatically built into the pricing — no promo codes or awkward messages required. Plus, fees are lower and proceeds support veteran nonprofits.

All Crewdogs users are verified through ID.me or official email credentials. That means safer bookings and a true sense of belonging. Our goal isn’t to be just another travel site — it’s to build a network of military families helping each other move, explore, and reconnect.
And every booking gives back. A portion of proceeds supports military and veteran nonprofits. When you stay or host with Crewdogs, you’re part of something bigger.
