As an owner looking to rent my week out, I want to be verified. Verified and secure also provides that the payment goes through Redweek and all parties involved are better protected. The fee to the owner is actually $99 for that service, but in my opinion well worth it for the safer transaction.

"Verified" only (i.e., not "verified and "protected") is just $14.99 more than the basic rental listing fee, with NO additional cost to the tenant.

"Verified and protected" however involves additional fees to the tenant, above the rental cost. Additionally, with "verified and protected", no rental payment is released to the owner until 2 days into the actual occupancy dates, something which many owners find unacceptable; YMMV. In short, that "protection" component comes at a cost to the tenant in additional fees and to the owner in timely receipt of payment.
