Summary: Short-term rental operators to discuss how Airbnb damage cover has evolved.
Full Query:
I’m seeking expert quotes for an article on Airbnb’s shift from the Host Guarantee to AirCover and its impact on host insurance and risk management.
I’m looking for first-hand insights and experiences from long-term Airbnb hosts, property managers, or short-term rental insurance professionals. In return, I can offer a link to your direct booking website, your Airbnb listing page, or a business page explicitly related to the short-term rental industry.
Questions:
1) If you are a long-term Airbnb host, have you noticed positive or negative changes in Airbnb’s built-in damage cover over time?
2) What steps have you taken to prepare for potential damage before it happens, such as record keeping, inspections, or operational systems?
3) After damage occurs, what's the single most important thing hosts should know about filing a claim?
4) What has your experience been filing a claim under AirCover?
5) How much do you spend on additional insurance, or do you rely solely on Airbnb's AirCover? Why?
6) What change do you think we might see in Airbnb's damage protection in future?
