Vacation rental insurance is a hot topic for property managers in the short-term rental industry. AI (artificial intelligence) and innovative tech-driven solutions are transforming the current insurance industry model, reshaping policies, claims, underwriting and pricing, and enabling property managers and homeowners to decrease their risk and enhance the guest experience with smart insuretech solutions.
Short-term rental insurance continues to remain a sector of the vacation rental space that is generally misunderstood and mistrusted. First and foremost, vacation rental property managers need to understand the coverage offered by their standard homeowners’ insurance or general liability policy to build the perfect protection for their properties.
A normal homeowners’ policy is designed specifically for an owner occupied property and offers little or no protection for the unique risks that arise when renting out a property on a short-term basis. In addition, the most common insurance plans in the vacation rental industry are designed only to protect the guest during their travels, offering no coverage or protection for the property manager or owner. Vacation rental property owners and managers need an added layer of protection to cover the gap and InsuraGuest have the solution.

Our custom policies offer a unique product to the vacation rental industry that is competitively priced, adds an extra layer of protection for the property manager and homeowner, reduces the risk factor and enhances the guest experience with extra peace of mind.
