How will the new connection affect host protection, Insurance? With Vrbo, guest have the options of purchasing host damage protection Insurance when booking, will that still be in effect?

If the only protection we will get with the new Vrbo connection is a Security Deposit then that’s not good enough for me.  if I have damage in the house, like a broken window, a $200 Security deposit doesn’t cover that.  If I increase the security deposit to $1500 or $2000. Not everyone will be able to book because not everyone has unlimited credit on their cards.

Hi ​@RiviQueen! Thanks for bringing this up. Look for the next Town Hall where we will announce Hospitable Protect in the product. 

Hospitable Protect is where you can configure property level protection strategies across properties and channels; available options will be ID verification, security deposits, and a new offering of guest damage insurance.
