For guests, it\u2019s an added protection to ensure that their interest (and their money) is safeguarded. For hosts, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostaway.com\/airbnb-aircover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb Aircover<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an added insurance policy against damage, lost income, and any guest injury claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the intricacies of the policy are more complex, but the overarching definitions do well to communicate the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodgify.com\/blog\/airbnb-aircover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">basic principles of a policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that many believe Airbnb has introduced due to a growing level of host unhappiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb has long since been plagued with rumors of hosts being unhappy with Airbnb\u2019s response to their complaints. Unfair reviews are allowed to stand, payouts are slow, the Airbnb Resolution Centre usually acts in favor of the guests, and hosts are often put out by their experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Airbnb Aircover for Hosts?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb Aircover has eight main pillars for hosts. Namely liability insurance, damage protection, pet damage protection, deep cleaning protection, income loss protection, a now 14-day filing window, quicker reimbursements, and finally, a faster track for Superhosts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing AirCover for Hosts | Airbnb\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_1FXx2G1Gtg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s explore each of them in slightly more detail:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>$1M in Liability Insurance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb has increased the liability insurance payout value to $1,000,000.00. Hosts can claim this if a guest is injured on their property. And if it has been proven to be an accident, rather than an instance of property neglect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>$1M Damage Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This increased limit also applies to Airbnb\u2019s damage protection payout. If a guest damages your property, you can claim compensation from Airbnb, provided that you can produce proof. You should still make use of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/vacation-rental-security-deposit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">security deposit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, however.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pet Damage Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/pet-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb\u2019s pet policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been in the spotlight quite a lot over the last few years, and with good reason. Hosts wanted to know the difference between a service dog and a pet. In light of the eventual clarification, some hosts were left with pet damage and no way to claim any reimbursement. Well, not anymore under Airbnb Aircover!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2263 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pet Policies\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pet-Policies-Airbnb-1-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Income Loss Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your property is damaged by a guest, and it will take time to fix the issue, you can now claim income loss protection from Airbnb. If you can provide proof of bookings that you have had to cancel, you can submit these to Airbnb and they will pay you for that lost income.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>14-Day Filing Window<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hosts often complained that the deadline to file a claim was far too short and as busy people, they needed more time. The new Airbnb Aircover policy means you now have 14-days to file your claim. This should give hosts more than enough time to get all of their quotes together, and their evidence, ready to present to the Airbnb Resolution Centre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Quicker Reimbursement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this overhaul of previous operations, Airbnb is promising hosts quicker payouts. One of the complaints we hear most often from hosts is even if they get Airbnb to agree to pay out, the company is known for dragging its feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Faster Track for Superhosts<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/airbnb-superhost-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superhost status<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is seen as the pinnacle of Airbnb hosting. Although, some have asked why. Under these new parameters, Superhosts will be helped by a specially created priority line which should assist them in attaining help for their issues faster than normal Airbnb hosts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/app\/en\/account\/register\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=sign_up_banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2.png\" alt=\"Dynamic Pricing Tool for Airbnb Hosts\" width=\"1200\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-175x85.png 175w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-450x218.png 450w, https:\/\/www.dpgo.com\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1200x580-For-Blog-2-1170x566.png 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>So Is It Worth It?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All bookings now come with Airbnb Aircover so realistically, you get it whether you want it or not.
