The number of the minimum nights affects the eligibility of your space and the efficiency of your property. ArisHost does not support bookings with a minimum stay of one night.

What's the Host Liability Insurance?

Host liability insurance, a part of AirCover, provides Hosts with $1 million in coverage in the rare event a guest gets hurt or their belongings are damaged or stolen while they’re staying at your place. People who help you host, like Co-Hosts and cleaners, are also included, so you can feel confident hosting on Airbnb.

 

What’s covered

Host liability insurance covers you if you’re found legally responsible for:

  • Bodily injury to a guest (or others)
  • Damage to or theft of property belonging to a guest (or others)
  • Damage caused by a guest (or others) to common areas, like building lobbies and nearby properties

Host liability insurance doesn’t cover:

  • Damage or injury resulting from something done intentionally
  • Damage to your place or belongings caused by a guest (that’s covered by Host damage protection)
  • Other exclusions apply

Should I insure my property for short-term leases?

We recommend that you be covered in any event that may occur on your property. Airbnb Host Security covers many incidents that can occur but not all. It is a good idea to keep it safe for you to sleep peacefully. ArisHost can help you by offering insurance coverage packages.
