Airbnb insurance alert

The share economy has changed the way we travel and holiday, but how well covered are we when accidents happen?

This heartbroken family says we’re not protected at all, after their little boy died at an Airbnb holiday home.

Statement from Airbnb country manager for Australia and New Zealand Sam McDonagh

This is a heartbreaking tragedy. We continue to offer the family our full support during this unimaginably difficult time and are cooperating with local authorities throughout the course of their investigation. We have launched a review into our policies regarding structures on the property of listings as the safety of our community is our priority.
