Deposits vs Insurance

Don Dougherty
Posted

Hello all!  Just finding this site.  We have had some really mixed experiences this year with inconsiderate guests, and we have been playing around with the deposit vs insurance.  As most would recoginze, most guests are great.  But then you get that one in 20 that is just awful.  From what I can tell the VRBO insurance really restriced to damage, accidental (how ever they chose to define that).  So we see some really problems with coverage for things like a hot tub servicing (too dirty), extra cleaning, having a pet, extra guests... etc.  So what to do?  I have seen posts that require a damage waiver, non refundable.  I like that idea, but how do you do that?  Seems like the categories on airbnb and/or vrbo are restrictive in terms of labels, so I am not sure how this could be done.  Interested in persuing this.  Thanks

Karin
