Rental Damage Protection - Basic
Applicable for listings in the United States. To purchase, select the first date of service from the calendar. Coverage will span ten days from the date selected and cover up to $1500 in damages. Coverage can be purchased up to 11:59pm on the first date of booking.
For stays over 10 days purchase additional quantity and leave booking dates in purchase notes.

Protection purchased with incorrect dates or an incorrect address will be null and void and is nonrefundable, so please be sure to enter the correct information when purchasing the insurance.
