Everyone who rents all or part of their home on a short-term rental platform should have insurance. It’s also important to keep in mind that homeowners insurance policies have many restrictions and conditions regarding the use of your home as a business. That’s why the short-term rental (or homeshare) of your residence is generally not covered by homeowners policies. Fortunately, now there’s Duuo! Duuo provides short-term rental insurance coverage for the time you’re renting your home, not a minute more.
Unfortunately, the host protection “programs” offered by some platforms are not the same thing as having a true insurance policy in your name. This can leave you vulnerable as a home owner because as we mentioned above, short-term rental activity is generally not covered by traditional homeowners policies. Plus, nearly all of the major rental platforms encourage their hosts to get their own protection. Want to learn more? We wrote a blog about it!

Good question! The market or “resale value” of your home is typically the price that someone is willing to pay to purchase your home and the land on which your home has been built. The dwelling limit of your insurance policy quote is based on what it may currently cost to replace or rebuild your home, and excludes the value of the land.
Yes, indeed! You can pull up your coverage while logged in to Duuo. Plus, we also send you an email with your policy details.
