If you’re not familiar with AirCover for Hosts, you can visit our Help Centre for answers to most questions.Host damage protection protects your place and belongings every time you host on Airbnb. Under the programme, Airbnb reimburses you for certain damages caused by guests to your home and belongings if the guest does not pay for those damages. Like any kind of protection programme, it has a few terms, conditions and exclusions. Host damage protection isn’t an insurance policy and not all damage is included within its terms – so we suggest you also purchase personal insurance for any property damage caused by guests that we don’t protect. With Host damage protection, you’re reimbursed for certain damages caused by guests to your home and belongings if the guest does not pay for those damages. Host damage protection is also different from our Host liability insurance – you’ll learn more about that in the next section. Lastly, please note that all limits shown are in USD. Any conversion from USD to other currencies is calculated on the date the reimbursement request is paid.Host liability insurance protects you in the unlikely event that you’re found legally responsible for a guest being hurt or their property being damaged or stolen during an Airbnb stay at your place. It is underwritten by third-party insurers and also comes with some terms, conditions and exclusions, which you can learn more about in the comprehensive programme summary. Please note that all limits shown are in USD. Any conversion from USD to other currencies is calculated on the date the claim is paid by the insurer.If you’re a Host who had stays in mainland China or a Host of stays in Japan, you have your own protection programme, as the Host damage protection and Host liability insurance don’t apply to you. Hosts who offer accommodation through Airbnb Travel, LLC and Adventures Hosts are also not covered by these programmes.For listings in Washington State, US, Airbnb’s contractual obligations for Host damage protection are covered by an insurance policy purchased by Airbnb, which does not change the contractual responsibility of Hosts and guests under the Host damage protection Terms, Airbnb Terms of Service or the Airbnb Payments of Service.If you’re hosting stays in the UK, the Host liability insurance policy is underwritten by Zurich Insurance Company Limited and arranged and concluded at no additional cost for UK Hosts by Airbnb UK Services Limited – an appointed representative of Aon UK Limited, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

These features aren’t insurance policies or guaranteed to prevent incidents. Guest identity verification is required for guests travelling to 35 countries.
