What the key players said

Angus McDonald, Co-founder & CEO of Cover Genius commented, “There is a massive opportunity for short-term rental sites that interact with both sides of the marketplace (i.e. renters and hosts) to offer convenient, customer-centric protection throughout the entire rental journey. We’re honored to help HomeToGo, the world’s largest vacation rental marketplace, offer peace of mind to its customers with tailored protection that is seamlessly embedded in the booking path.”

Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-founder & CEO of HomeToGo said, “Protection for rentals is especially relevant in today’s landscape – having been underpinned by trends coming out of the pandemic, flexibility remains top of mind for many customers. For example, our own survey data shows that 54% of respondents purchased travel protection within the last year１, indicating a consumer appetite for increased flexibility. We’re excited to partner with Cover Genius to offer protection that is seamlessly integrated into the rental experience.”
