Safely is a short-term rental insurance specialist that provides hosts and property management companies with a Damage Waiver Product, aimed at protecting them from damages caused to their properties during guest stays. This can help prevent friction with property owners when a property is damaged and will eliminate the need for a security deposit from guests, who may not want to provide it.
Safely also offers guest verifications; a guest screening service that helps you avoid guests known to cause intentional damage and guests with a criminal record.
