We're hard at work, at this very moment, integrating insurance and damage protection into the system.
Insurance and damage protection aren't going to replace the security deposit but rather complement it. Your guests will be able to select travel insurance and damage protection, backed by our strong third party provider, which will give you an additional layer of security.
Travel Insurance is a protection plan that protects your guest against unexpected occurances such as last minute trip cancellation, medical problems or weather interruptions. Instead of having to issue refunds or forcing guests to lose payments, our insurance provider steps in to pay. Overview, Policy
Damage Protection is an insurance plan that provides coverage for accidental damages to your vacation rental property during your stay, in place of a security deposit. Specifically, it covers unintentional damage to the vacation rental property during the guest's stay, up to $1,500. Guests commonly use this protection to cover things like carpet spills, furniture tears, broken lamps and more. Overview, Policy
