How to protect my vacation rental against damage
One of the main concerns for owners of vacation rentals are unexpected problems. Above all, those that may cause damage to the property.
We are aware that managing one or several vacation rentals is not an easy task. For this reason, on several times we have recommended the use of tools that allow online check-in and simplify the management of the properties in an automated and comfortable way.
Now, we also want to offer you digital solutions to protect you against damages that may be produced in your vacation rental. Once they arise, there is no solution. Therefore, the only alternative is to protect yourself in advance.
Read on and discover two key options to ensure the protection of your vacation rental. We are talking about deposits and damage protection.
Damage protection focused on vacation rental owners
Short-term damage protection means more peace of mind for you and your guests. It works so that you can have the necessary protection in case of damage to the vacation rental.
In addition, you can decide the price you want to charge your guests depending on the damage cover. The ranges of cover that are finally presented to the guest guarantee full security that you will be covered for any eventuality that may occur in your property. Here are the main benefits of short term damage protection:
- Increases profits per booking.
- Improve guest confidence and experience
- Avoid uncomfortable conversations with guests.
- Avoid negative reviews.
- Increase peace of mind for you and your guests
Another alternative to damage insurance: Deposits.
In addition to damage protection insurance, you can also ask guests to pay a deposit. Generally speaking, this is nothing more than a guarantee for the owner against possible damages that may be caused to the vacation rental.
Finally, we recommend that in your vacation rental contract you specify all the rules of the house, as well as emphasising that any breach of these rules may result in the total or partial loss of the deposit.
For a quicker and easier management of these, you can also include the collection of deposits and damage protection within the automated check-in process.
