Safely for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Hosts with 1–5 short-term rental listings looking for software that scales with them, not against them.
Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Great fit
Safely's pay-per-night model is built for you — zero cost during vacancy, no annual commitment, and guest screening bundled in.
Why it fits you
- Pay-per-booking means costs scale with actual occupancy, ideal for 1–5 properties that aren't booked year-round
- Guest screening with SafelyScore adds a safety layer most small hosts lack
- Insurance cost can be passed through to guests, keeping your margins intact
What might bite you
- If your properties run at high occupancy (200+ nights), an annual policy may be cheaper
- Contents coverage caps at $10K — insufficient if you have high-value furnishings
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Awning Insurance Great fit
If you're a new Airbnb host evaluating your first STR policy, Awning's one-page comparison of four named carriers is exactly the triage tool you want.
From $40 • No free trial · Useful triage page for new Airbnb investors; thin if you already know the STR carrier landscape
- CBIZ Vacation Rental Insurance Great fit
If you're an individual owner of a single STR or a small portfolio of 1–4-unit properties, CBIZ is purpose-built for you — it's the segment they explicitly target.
Contact sales • No free trial · Established specialty STR insurer — but you'll need to call for a quote
- InsuraGuest Great fit
If you've got 1–5 listings on a connected PMS, $69/mo flat for guest damage and medical coverage is hard to beat — and you can pass it through as a nightly fee.
