What is the Damage Protection Program?

The Damage Protection Program (DPP) provides coverage for the homeowner against unintentional accidental damage that may occur within the vacation rental property during a rental booking stay. When the booking coverage fee is paid, the DPP covers the homeowner/designated rental unit manager for up to the specified coverage amount (US $1,500 or US $3,000) if the rented unit or its contents in the property are damaged during the stay. Coverage is subject to program terms and conditions.

What is the Added Value to the Homeowner, Property Manager and Renter?

When the booking coverage fee is paid, the DPP reduces the renter's risk of additional credit card charges, refunds and charge-back issues, while in most cases reducing the need for homeowners and property managers to collect, hold and refund security deposits. Homeowners, property managers and renters gain peace of mind knowing that if unintentional accidental damage occurs, they are protected. It further removes any uncomfortable conversations between owners & guests about who pays for the damage.
