Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.

• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
