• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses.

• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
