It breaks down insurance into four key pillars: manager's insurance, homeowner's insurance, damage waiver products, and travel insurance, offering actionable advice to safeguard businesses against unforeseen incidents and potential lawsuits.

Key insights

  • A minimum of $1 million in base liability insurance is the new norm for short-term rentals to protect against significant claims, with umbrella policies offering additional coverage.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Relying solely on OTA guarantees like Airbnb's Host Guarantee is a mistake, as they are not comprehensive insurance policies and hosts remain responsible for their own adequate coverage.
