Is InsuraGuest Worth It?
The honest take โ no sales pitch, no "it depends" cop-out. Who it fits, who should skip it.
Verdict
Yes โ for the right operator
For PMS-connected STR operators who want a cheap, pass-through-able guest damage and medical layer, $69/mo flat is a clear yes.
Realistic cost: $69/mo flat ($10K coverage) or $99/mo flat ($25K coverage)
Worth it if youโฆ
- Worth it if you operate on Hostaway, Hostfully, Guesty, OwnerRez, Lodgify, Tokeet, or Track
- Worth it if you can pass a ~$3/day fee through to guests via your PMS or OTA
- Worth it if you want predictable flat-monthly pricing instead of percentage-of-booking insurance
- Worth it if your typical damage exposure fits comfortably under $25,000
Skip it if youโฆ
- Skip if you need full structural/landlord property insurance
- Skip if you need high-limit liability coverage above $25,000
- Skip if you manage luxury or large-home portfolios where $25K won't cover a typical incident
- Skip if you need a transparent enterprise/property-manager rate card up front
What to try instead
Consider Safely or Proper Insurance if you need higher coverage limits or a true carrier-of-record policy.
