136. How Aircover Protects You

If you have had an STR for a while I'm sure you had some unexpected cleaning due to guests smoking in your listing or pets damaging your property. Not only is it frustrating when our properties aren't treated with care but having to deal with the process to get reimbursed can be equally frustrating! And sometimes we just don't have the time to file a complaint before our next guest checks in and we lose the possibility. Airbnb has had its "Host Guarantee" for many years but just last November, Airbnb dropped it and introduced AirCover - the "top-to-bottom" protection for Hosts. AirCover is a branded type of coverage that consists of Host Damage Protection and Host Liability Insurance. It actually covers a lot of stuff behind this simple name and is just one more reason to explore short-term rentals as an investment option. Once you hear more about it, you may think, "Is this too good to be true?"  Well, it is true, but is it good?! This week I will share with you all you need to know about AirCover and how it helps us manage our short-term rentals in case of damage to property caused by guests.
