Q: Why do I need a waiver?

A: Waivers will offer an additional layer of liability protection from lawsuits. It prevents you from getting sued by one of your guests. Your guests are waiving their right to sue you.

Q: I am protected with Insurance, aren’t I?

A: Insurance doesn’t actually protect you or your rental business from a lawsuit. In fact, if you are sued for more than your insurance limits you could be on the hook for the excess amount. In the worst-case scenario, your property could be seized to satisfy a judgment. Our liability waivers operate to prevent a lawsuit from ever happening. While HostShield is not a substitute for insurance, our liability waivers will serve as the first line of defense and could very well protect you from the hassle of litigation.

Q: Is this legal advice?

A: HostShield does not offer legal advice. While our waivers are reviewed by lawyers – they aren’t your lawyers.

Q: Is there any sort of guarantee?

A: Yes! We are so confident in the strength of our waivers we offer a guarantee if your waiver is every challenged! We will take care of setting you up with a lawyer and cover the costs!

Q: Why doesn’t Airbnb offer this? What about

HostCover?

A: Good question. Based on our experience… Airbnb doesn’t always have the best interests of its hosts in mind. It’s been reported they won’t even give you the insurance policy they claim you are covered with. There is a reason our Founders use HostShield themselves.

Q: Another legal question, LLCs, etc.

A: You can email our support team [email protected] and they will get back with you!
