How Does iGMS Integrate with InsuraGuest?

InsuraGuest is a trusted iGMS partner. The solution allows the purchasing of no-fault medical and property insurance that covers medical accidents, theft, or property damage that may occur from operating your vacation rental business.

With InsuraGuest you are protecting your property from claims made by your guests and avoiding making a claim on your homeowner’s policy. 

You are inserting a layer of protection that addresses claims on a primary no-fault basis.

How does it work?

With InsuraGuest you can purchase the ideal type of insurance coverage for your vacation rental properties. It automatically attaches your coverage to every reservation for a fee — a fee that’s passed on to the guest. 

With our integration, you can set up the fee on Airbnb directly from iGMS. To add the InsuraGuest coverage to your other rentals on Vrbo and Booking.com, you will need to do so on the platforms themselves.

When you sign up with InsuraGuest, they issue a certificate that blanket covers all your properties inside your iGMS system, so you only need to sign up once.

What if I already have a management fee set up?

If you already have a management fee set up, there are two ways you can go about adding the InsuraGuest coverage:

1. Choose a different description for the charge.  For example, instead of a Management fee, it can be a Resort Fee. However, in the title, you should still call it InsuraGuest Insurance, so the guest knows what it is.
2. The other option is to add it into the cost of the nightly room charge and then list in the description that the guests are receiving InsuraGuest Insurance with every night they stay.
