Your peace of mind is important to us. That’s why we partner with Rental Guardian to deliver supplemental insurance protection tailor-made for short-term rental owners.
Vacasa’s Accommodation Protection Program offers you an additional layer of vacation rental damage protection—including $1 million in damage protection for your home itself (such as flooring, walls, or windows), and coverage for damage to your furnishings and valuables up to $25,000.
Because homeowners insurance is designed for owner-occupied properties, many policies won’t cover short-term rental activity. Think of the accommodation protection program as an extra level of protection against liability and property damage. It helps fill in potential gaps, giving you what you need when you need it: added protection for your home, guests, and valuables on the nights your vacation home is booked. Under Accommodation Protection, you’ll receive:
You don’t pay a deductible, and you only pay for coverage on nights booked by guests: $7 per booked night for homes with 0–2 bedrooms, and $8.54 for homes with 3+ bedrooms.

In most markets*, guests pay Vacasa a small damage waiver ($15-$35/night, depending on the size of the home) that covers accidental damage up to $3,000. To utilize the damage waiver, guests are subject to terms and conditions including exclusions for damage caused by smoking, pets, or criminal activity and damages that are unreported prior to check-out. This encourages guest accountability and helps us respond more quickly to accidental damage. Thankfully, Vacasa will cover up to $3,000 of damages associated with a paid damage waiver, whether or not the guest met the terms and conditions.
For the most comprehensive protection, we recommend enrolling in the Accommodations Protection Program, which delivers an additional layer of damage protection—including $1 million in damage protection for your home itself (such as the structure, electrical, or plumbing) and coverage for damage to your furnishings and valuables up to $25,000. Read all the specific details about the Accommodations Protection Program here (including its additional $1 million in liability coverage).
Damage protection typically covers the cost of repairing or replacing your property if it's damaged by a guest at your home. By "property," we mean both your home itself (say, a cracked window) and the items in it (like a chair with a broken seat).
Not all damage protection works the same way, but with Vacasa you can receive coverage for guest-caused damage to your home or personal property, as well as guest injuries or guest property damage caused by homeowner negligence. It's important to know that damage protection doesn't replace homeowners insurance—the two work together to cover different scenarios that may arise when you own and rent out a vacation home.
Vacation rental damage insurance is a major safeguard against liability and property damage. If you don’t secure coverage, you may be liable for any damage, injury, or bedbugs at your home. Since traditional homeowner’s insurance is designed for owner-occupied properties, most policies won’t provide adequate (if any) protection for commercial vacation rental use, and you'll want to get supplemental coverage.
While we can't speak for every company, Vacasa's Accommodation Protection Program offers affordable, tiered pricing exclusively for Vacasa homeowners.
Even better, you only pay for Accommodation Protection coverage on the nights your home is occupied by guests. (This is, of course, in addition to the cost of whatever homeowners insurance you secure for your property.)
