The Host Co

The Ultimate Peace of Mind for Vacation Rental Guests

Our guests are protected by the Waivo® damage protection program. The program offers the industry’s broadest protection. It’s damage protection done right.

$1,500 in Damage Protection

Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally this was managed via a security deposit, which is cumbersome and often has big limitations in protection.

With damage protection, accidental damage from a guest is covered unless it’s specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, mechanical breakdown, or odor.

Relax and Enjoy Your Stay

It’s vacation time, so enjoy it with peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damage occurs, you are protected under Waivo.
