Awning Insurance for Airbnb-first hosts
Hosts whose primary channel is Airbnb, with secondary interest in Vrbo or Booking.com.
Our verdict for Airbnb-first hosts
Great fit
Awning's marketplace copy is explicitly Airbnb-centric, and Proper is positioned as the most popular Airbnb-native STR carrier.
Why it fits you
- Page copy targets 'Part-time and full-time Airbnb hosts across all property values'
- Editorial guidance pairs the policy with Airbnb's AirCover for complementary coverage
- Proper's Airbnb-native integration is highlighted as the flagship option
What might bite you
- Heavy Airbnb framing means non-Airbnb edge cases get less coverage in the comparison
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- CBIZ Vacation Rental Insurance Great fit
If your listings live primarily on Airbnb, CBIZ is built to replace the host-provided coverage with a real commercial policy — including the amenity risks Airbnb's program narrowly addresses.

- InsuraGuest Great fit

- Proper Insurance Okay fit — consider alternatives
Proper fills the gaps Airbnb's Host Protection leaves wide open, but you're paying a premium for coverage breadth you may not fully need on a single platform.
