A real person — an STR owner, like you — calls or texts you back to walk through your coverage options in plain English. No jargon, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about what you need.
Once you’re happy with your quote, we bind your policy. Most clients are covered the same day they reach out. You get a real insurance policy — not a platform program Airbnb can change without notice.
The VIFO team knows insurance — but just as important, we understand the risks of short-term rentals because we’re owners ourselves. It was a difficult claim of our own that made us decide: there has to be a better way.
We won’t confuse you with insurance jargon. Our reps explain your coverage in plain English, and our claims team responds when you actually need them.
Read Our Full Story“VIFO Insurance helped us when we started on Airbnb. We didn’t know where to turn for insurance and they helped walk us through the process. I felt like they actually cared about protecting our investment.”
“VIFO saved us hundreds of dollars a year compared to what we were paying. We switched and haven’t looked back. The team was knowledgeable and made the whole process painless.”
“I had no idea how many gaps I had in my coverage until VIFO walked me through it. The bed bug coverage alone is worth it — that’s the kind of thing that can destroy a listing’s reputation overnight.”
“We list on both Airbnb and Vrbo. When I realized AirCover only covered Airbnb bookings, half my calendar had zero protection. VIFO fixed that in one call.”
