My first thought was "business opportunity to offer insurance to airbnb customers". Apparently there are already websites up to do just that.

- rmc 15y agoGood luck being able to cover all a person's personal heirlooms that cost thousands.
- aeden 15y agoAs long as the volume of insurance related payouts is small enough and the volume of customers purchasing insurance is large enough, then it's a viable business model. In fact, that's how insurance works (and how it stops working when there are major catastrophes that cause the number of claims to spike dramatically).
- zwieback 15y agoUsually property insurance works as a percentage of the insured amount. If I were to rent out my house I'd put my treasured heirlooms into storage/safe deposit box.
- aeden 15y agoIt looks like AirBnB themselves may also be working on providing an insurance policy. I wonder if it'll cost extra? http://launch.is/blog/airbnb-confirms-insurance-in-case-your-pad-gets-trashed.html http://launch.is/blog/airbnb-confirms-insurance-in-case-your...
