I have a VRBO inquiry and they would like a last minute discount. I've looked all over for a place to modify the quote, but I can't seem to get it back to VRBO. I checked to see if I need to do this on the VRBO site and it tells me to modify in OwnerRez.
Is this do-able? Can I modify a VRBO quote?
When you integrate with Vrbo via their API, they treat you like the professional you are, acting as a listing site & passing the rest of the booking details to you. However, they take precautions to keep guest inquiries within the Vrbo system to prevent off-platform bookings. Notably, Vrbo "inquiries" cannot be directly converted into bookings. Guests can use instant booking after their questions are answered through the inquiry process.
The quote and pre-approve buttons in your Vrbo dashboard are non-functional.
When you import an inquiry into OwnerRez, it may appear that you can send quotes and edit charges, but guests cannot accept the quote directly within the inquiry. They can respond to your messages and agree to changes, but Vrbo will block any live links that would allow the quote to be accepted and converted into a booking.
Here are a few strategies for adjusting pricing for a guest:
(Note: The Vrbo ~15% booking fee will not be reduced in amount if you adjust the price down on OwnerRez after the guest books.)

Or, if you are Request to Book: If you use the "Request to Book" feature, you can adjust the pricing on a booking request before confirming it. You and the guest agree on a price within the Vrbo inbox to make the guest comfortable with the request, then adjust the charges before confirming the booking.
