Why do I need additional insurance as an Airbnb host?

Doesn’t Airbnb already provide that?

Airbnb offers two types of coverage for renters using their platform: “Host Protection Insurance” and “Host Guarantee Protection”. While these types of coverages are a great start and will protect you in the event of certain accidents, they are not meant to replace an actual insurance policy. Airbnb even recommends that hosts purchase their own coverage to ensure they are completely protected throughout their experience using the platform.

Here are a few additional reasons why getting insurance designed for Airbnb hosts is so important:

Many home insurance policies do not cover short-term rental property activity (like renting your space on Airbnb).
To protect yourself and your home, it’s important to have an insurance policy that is under your specific name.
Proper insurance designed for Airbnb hosts will protect you from the unique challenges hosts face, like vandalism and malicious damage.

Individual circumstances may vary. You may wish to contact the licensed insurer’s representative or a licensed insurance agent if you need advice about your insurance needs. For more information, check out our blog to learn more about Airbnb’s “Host Guarantee”.

When we started hosting on Airbnb we had no idea we needed additional insurance to cover us. Fortunately, Duuo is a great solution because it's pay-as-you-go.
