AirCover by Airbnb is a comprehensive protection package designed exclusively for Airbnb hosts. It goes beyond standard insurance, offering hosts peace of mind and support throughout their hosting journey. Whether you're welcoming guests into your home for the first time or are a seasoned host, AirCover helps you feel secure while maximising your hosting potential.
From robust insurance coverage to practical perks, AirCover ensures that both your property and your hosting experience are well-protected. Here’s a closer look at what it offers and how it can benefit you.
Comprehensive Protection for Hosts
AirCover provides hosts with significant protection against unexpected events, so you can focus on creating memorable stays for your guests.
£1 Million in Liability Coverage
Accidents can happen, even in the most well-maintained properties. With AirCover, hosts are protected by £1 million in liability insurance. This ensures you’re covered if a guest is injured on your property or if their belongings are damaged during their stay.
For example:
- A guest trips on uneven flooring and sustains an injury requiring medical attention.
- A faulty appliance causes a guest’s laptop to be damaged.
These scenarios, though uncommon, could result in expensive claims. With AirCover, you’re shielded from financial vulnerability, giving you the confidence to host without fear of unforeseen liabilities.
£1 Million in Damage Protection
AirCover also includes £1 million in damage protection, specifically for damage caused by guests. This can cover both major incidents and minor mishaps, ensuring you don’t have to pay for repairs or replacements out of pocket.
Common examples include:
- Broken furniture or appliances during a guest’s stay.
- Stained carpets or upholstery that require professional cleaning.
- Theft of personal items from your property.
For pet-friendly hosts, AirCover extends its coverage to include damage caused by pets. This means you can cater to a growing market of travellers who want to bring their furry friends along without worrying about potential damage.
24/7 Safety Line Support
AirCover includes round-the-clock access to Airbnb’s safety support team. If issues arise during a guest’s stay, such as property damage or an emergency, you can contact Airbnb for immediate assistance.
This level of support ensures that problems are resolved quickly, helping you maintain a smooth and professional hosting experience.
Financial and Practical Advantages
AirCover is more than just a safety net—it’s a tool that can enhance your hosting experience.
Confidence to Accept More Bookings
With AirCover, you can host with greater confidence. Knowing your property and belongings are protected allows you to:
- Open your calendar to last-minute bookings.
- Welcome longer stays without concern.
- Cater to higher-value guests who may have unique needs.
This confidence can lead to more bookings, better reviews, and ultimately, increased income.
Opportunities to Offer Pet-Friendly Stays
With pet damage coverage included, you can cater to the growing market of travellers seeking pet-friendly accommodations. Many guests are willing to pay a premium for listings that welcome their furry family members, giving you an edge over other hosts.
Liability Coverage for Unique Experiences
As Airbnb evolves, more hosts are exploring opportunities to diversify their offerings by hosting events or on-site experiences. From cooking classes to yoga retreats, these unique experiences can set your property apart and attract new guests.
With AirCover’s liability insurance, you’re protected during these activities, giving you the freedom to expand your hosting horizons and increase your revenue streams.
No Excess on Claims
Unlike many insurance policies, AirCover does not require you to pay an excess when making a claim. This means you can address damage or issues without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses, making it an invaluable benefit for hosts.
