Safely for Airbnb-first hosts
Hosts whose primary channel is Airbnb, with secondary interest in Vrbo or Booking.com.
Our verdict for Airbnb-first hosts
Okay fit — consider alternatives
Safely supplements AirCover with real commercial insurance and a faster claims process, but you're already getting some baseline protection from Airbnb.
Why it fits you
- Commercial-grade coverage ($1M liability) goes well beyond what AirCover provides
- Claims paid in 4.5 days vs. the often months-long AirCover process
What might bite you
- AirCover already provides some baseline damage protection at no extra cost
- Adding $8+/night on top of Airbnb's service fee compresses margins on lower-priced listings
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Awning Insurance Great fit
Awning's marketplace copy is explicitly Airbnb-centric, and Proper is positioned as the most popular Airbnb-native STR carrier.
From $40 • No free trial · Useful triage page for new Airbnb investors; thin if you already know the STR carrier landscape
- CBIZ Vacation Rental Insurance Great fit
If your listings live primarily on Airbnb, CBIZ is built to replace the host-provided coverage with a real commercial policy — including the amenity risks Airbnb's program narrowly addresses.
Contact sales • No free trial · Established specialty STR insurer — but you'll need to call for a quote
- InsuraGuest Great fit
Airbnb hosts can pass the ~$3/day cost through as a guest fee and add a real damage/medical layer on top of AirCover.
From $69 • No free trial · Affordable flat-rate guest protection layer for PMS-connected operators
