Built for hosts and property managers

You're the covered party. Most hosts pass the plan's cost to the guest through the rental rate or a separate fee, so protection costs you nothing out of pocket and replaces the hassle of holding and refunding security deposits.

Common questions

What is vacation rental damage protection?

Vacation rental damage protection covers accidental damage a guest causes to a rental property during a covered stay. Instead of collecting and refunding security deposits, the host or manager buys a flat-price plan for the stay, covering up to $1,500 or $3,000 in damage.

Is there a deductible?

There is no deductible. An approved claim is reimbursed in full, up to the coverage limit you selected — $1,500 or $3,000.

Who pays for damage protection — host or guest?

Ideally, the lodging provider (the host or property manager) purchases coverage, since they're the party who gets reimbursed if something is damaged. Most providers pass the cost along to the guest through the rental rate or a separate fee, so the guest isn't out of pocket if an accident happens and the host has an easy way to be reimbursed without chasing the guest for money.

How soon must I file a claim?

You must initiate a claim within 14 days of the guest's departure date, and it must include photo(s) of the damage to get started. Paid receipts with proof of payment are due within 45 days of opening the claim. These dates are strictly enforced — the underwriter does not allow extensions.
