Back in August we posted about Airbnb’s plans to roll out new “anti-party tools” in the US and Canada to help identify potentially high-risk reservations and prevent those users from taking advantage of their platform. Now, fast-forward to mid-November and they have launched a new platform called Airbnb Setup, which they say is an “all-new easy way to Airbnb your home.”
Basically, they’re expanding their current Airbnb Cover program for hosts by adding the following upgraded features & enhancements:
- Guest identity verification
- Reservation screening technology
- $3M damage protection
- Auto & boat protection
- Art & valuables protection
- Easier to file a claim
“…That’s why we’re introducing an easy way for millions of people to Airbnb their homes. With Airbnb Setup, every new Host can get free, one-to-one guidance from a Superhost from their first question through their first reservation. And with even more AirCover for Hosts, now is the perfect time to put your place on Airbnb.”
