Summary

Airbnb's AirCover for guests provides booking protection, check-in assistance, get-what-you-booked guarantees, and comfort/safety support. Hosts need to understand its limitations, as guests often confuse it with comprehensive insurance, leading to potential disputes. Guests can also purchase optional travel insurance. Minimize confusion by clarifying policies, using guidebooks, and encouraging direct communication with guests.
