Damage protection covers you if a guest damages your place or belongings during an Airbnb stay. You’re reimbursed for certain damage caused by guests to your home and belongings if the guest does not pay for the damage. It also reimburses for extra cleaning services in certain cases, such as removing stains left by guests (or their invitees) or pet accidents, smoke odour removal, or when required due to additional unapproved guests.
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.

AirCover for Hosts and your personal insurance
While AirCover for Hosts protects you while you’re hosting an Airbnb stay or Experience, it’s not a substitute for personal insurance. You may also be required by law to maintain certain auto insurance, which would not be satisfied by AirCover for Hosts. Since everyone’s situation is different, you should talk to your insurer to see how – or if – your policy overlaps with AirCover for Hosts.
