AirCover for guests and travel or reservation insurance

AirCover for guests is different from travel or reservation insurance. AirCover for guests is provided for free with every booking, while travel insurance for guests in the EU and UK, travel insurance for guests in the US or reservation insurance (for guests in FR) can be purchased separately during checkout.

What is AirCover for guests?

If there’s a serious issue with your Airbnb that your Host can’t resolve, we’ll help you find a similar place, depending on availability at comparable pricing. If a similar place isn’t available or you’d prefer not to rebook, we’ll give you a full or partial refund.

AirCover for guests provides support if your Host cancels within 30 days of check-in, you’re unable to check in or the listing is significantly different than advertised and your Host can’t fix it or you feel unsafe in your Airbnb.

What is travel or reservation insurance? 

Travel is rewarding, but sometimes things don’t go as expected. People can get sick, flights can get cancelled and bags can go missing. To help protect you financially, there’s travel or reservation insurance.

  • Airbnb guests who live in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria and Portugal can purchase travel insurance on the checkout page. The travel insurance policies are offered by Generali’s Europ Assistance Group, trading under the Generali name in the US and Europ Assistance in the EU and the UK. Learn more about what’s covered.
  • Airbnb guests who live in France can purchase reservation insurance on the checkout page. The policy is underwritten by Europ Assistance, a leading travel insurer. Learn more about what’s covered.

Don’t live in any of the above countries? Guests everywhere can purchase travel insurance outside of Airbnb, directly through a travel insurance company’s website or by shopping around on a comparison site.

How AirCover for guests works with travel or reservation insurance

Here’s an example of how AirCover for guests and travel or reservation insurance can work together.

You arrive at your destination and learn that the airline has sent your luggage to the wrong city and you won’t get it back for at least 24 hours. You then check in at the place to stay and find out that the number of bedrooms at the place is less than advertised.

In this situation, AirCover for guests can help you find a new place to stay, depending on availability at comparable pricing. If you purchased travel or reservation insurance with your Airbnb reservation or booking, you can also file a claim with Generali or Europ Assistance SA to get reimbursed for certain extra things you have to buy while waiting for your luggage, such as clothing and toiletries.
