FAQ
How does Pay-per-night work with standard home and contents insurance?
The insurance Pay-per-night provides is not the same as the cover from your standard home and contents insurance policy; landlord policy; or from covers and guarantees provided by platforms.
Pay-per-night offers flexible home, contents and liability insurance specifically for those renting their property every now and then through recognised sharing economy platforms like Airbnb, Bookabach and TripAdvisor. Pay-per-night can operate in tandem with, your standard home and contents policy, which may not necessarily cover you for damage or loss resulting from acts or omissions of guests renting or sharing your property. This is often because short-term renting and home-sharing are recognised as commercial uses of property, and thus fall outside of cover provided by personal, residential homeowner’s insurance.
Pay-per-night operates as a flexible form of cover, to support your part-time hosting. Make sure to look closely at Pay-per-night to see what it covers and how it works best with homeowner’s insurance.
For more details about how Pay-per-night works, what it does and doesn’t cover, and how to claim, see our Product Disclosure Statements.
