FAQ

What is short-term rental insurance?

Short-term rental insurance is a type of insurance that provides coverage for damages or losses that occur during a short-term rental, such as through Airbnb, VRBO, or other similar platforms. This type of insurance typically covers damages to the property, as well as liability for injuries or accidents that occur during the rental period. Short-term rental insurance is designed to protect both the property owner and the renters from potential financial losses, and is generally recommended for anyone who is renting out their property on a short-term basis. The coverage and premiums of short-term rental insurance policies may vary depending on the insurer and the specific terms of the policy.

How does short-term rental insurance work?

Short-term rental insurance typically works by providing liability coverage and property damage protection for hosts who rent out their property on a short-term basis, such as through Airbnb or VRBO. This type of insurance can help protect hosts from financial losses that may result from guest injuries or damage to the property during their stay. Short-term rental insurance policies can vary in their coverage, but they typically provide liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage, as well as property damage protection for damage to the host's property caused by guests. Some policies may also provide coverage for lost rental income if the property becomes unusable due to damage or other covered events. It's important for hosts to carefully review their policy to understand what is covered and any limitations or exclusions that may apply.

How much does short-term rental insurance cost?

The cost of short-term rental insurance varies depending on several factors such as the location, the type of property, the coverage amount, and the insurance provider. On average, the cost of short-term rental insurance ranges from $150 to $500 per year. However, some insurance providers may offer hourly or nightly coverage, which could cost less but may not provide as much coverage as an annual policy. It is important to shop around and compare policies from different providers to find the best coverage and pricing for your specific needs.

What does short-term rental insurance cover?

Short-term rental insurance typically covers a range of potential risks and damages related to short-term rentals. These may include property damage caused by guests, theft or damage to personal property belonging to the host or guests, liability for injuries or accidents that occur on the rental property, and loss of rental income due to covered events such as property damage or cancellations. Some policies may also cover issues such as bedbugs, infestations, or pet damage. It's important to carefully review policy details to ensure that you have adequate coverage for your specific rental situation.

Is short-term rental insurance required?

Short-term rental insurance is not required by law in most places, but it is strongly recommended for anyone who rents out their property on a short-term basis. Some platforms, such as Airbnb, require hosts to have liability insurance in order to list their property. Additionally, some cities or municipalities may have their own regulations or requirements for short-term rental hosts, which may include insurance coverage. It is important for hosts to check with their local government and their rental platform to determine what insurance coverage is required or recommended for their particular situation.

What’s the difference between homeowners insurance and short-term rental insurance?

Homeowners insurance and short-term rental insurance are different types of insurance policies that cover different types of risks. Homeowners insurance is designed to protect a homeowner's personal property and liability risks associated with owning a home. It typically covers damages to the home and personal property caused by events such as fire, theft, or natural disasters, as well as liability claims if someone is injured on the property.

On the other hand, short-term rental insurance is specifically designed to cover the risks associated with renting out a property on a short-term basis, such as through Airbnb or other vacation rental platforms. It may provide coverage for property damage caused by guests, liability claims arising from guest injuries, and loss of income due to property damage or other covered events that prevent guests from staying at the property.

While homeowners insurance may provide some coverage for short-term rentals, it may have limitations and exclusions that do not fully protect the homeowner in the event of a short-term rental-related claim. As such, it's important for homeowners who engage in short-term rentals to consider obtaining separate short-term rental insurance to ensure they have adequate coverage for their specific risks.
