Risk

The unique risks property managers face

Guest injury is the risk that can do the most damage and it’s the one Safely is built to prevent, not just insure against. Guest screening lowers the odds before a stay even starts. When something does happen, we move fast: immediate response and documentation, goodwill outreach to keep things from escalating, and medical payments to get guests care quickly. Defense and investigation costs sit outside your policy limits, claims files are kept for up to seven years, and adjoining-property damage is covered too, so one incident never becomes a bigger exposure than it has to be.

Homeowner trust is what grows a management portfolio. Coverage your business can stand behind is what earns it, on every stay and every renewal conversation.

What property managers say about Safely

We came on to Safely about three years ago, prior to that we were self-insuring which worked for us pretty well but then we discovered that Safely offered a lot more protection for ourselves and for our owners so it’s been a great move for us.

 

Your team members have been absolutely phenomenal when answering any questions I may have during the process. Safely has my endorsement without question, the entire team has been excellent to work with any time we’ve had an issue.

 

They’re all kind, approachable if I have a problem I can always talk to a real person. And, everyone in their different departments can help me whether it’s financing, claims, or just questions.

 

After years of the tedious process of filing claims with Airbnb, Safely is such a refreshing change!

 

The claims process is insanely simple to go through, especially compared to other industry companies in vacation rentals. It’s also a really, really powerful thing when you can make a claim on something that isn’t necessarily accidental.

 

Frequently asked questions about vacation rental insurance for property managers.

A short-term rental property manager needs specialized insurance to cover property owners, renters, and themselves. Property managers need short-term rental insurance and business liability insurance underwritten by a specialized insurance provider.

Property managers need true short-term rental insurance coverage to protect guests, property owners, and themselves in the event of a claim for property damage or personal liability coverage. Traditional homeowners insurance policies typically don’t cover short-term rental guests or damage caused by them. 

Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO insurance don’t provide property managers with coverage options for renters who have booked directly and they have many limitations on what incidents they actually do cover. 

Property managers may face expensive property damage and personal liability claims that could cost them their short-term rental property. Instead, they should get appropriate insurance coverage in addition to a home insurance policy from a specialized insurance company.
