About
Where We Started and Where We Are
Our Story
RentalGuardian (along with our partner insurance agency InsureStays) digitally-automates all facets of sales and service of travel protection and property protection solutions, between local property managers/lodging providers and their millions of worldwide consumers.
We have partnered with world class Underwriters like Nationwide, Lloyd’s of London and Berkshire Hathaway to bring the vacation rentals market custom protection products built specifically for the needs of the rentals industry.
The RentalGuardian.com platform and products further automates the distribution of travel protection and related protection products between Underwriters and Travelers, via the connection between our seamless API and their intermediary reservation management software platforms, travel/tech websites, and rental property management companies: we fill a mission-critical service gap in the tools and systems that consumers use to insure their business and vacation travel.
Our clients also earn a referral fee on every coverage issued so by offering these protection products your travelers and homeowners need, you are also growing a new revenue stream for your company.
RentalGuardian.com & InsureStays = custom built protection products for the rentals industry delivered automatically via technology and API connection.
We also have ReferStays launching in early 2018 where you can simply refer your guests to us and earn a referral fee on every quote issued.
With the RentalGuardian.com platform (via our web-based tools and API integrations), our insurance providers have the ability to offer unique products to travelers & homeowners within a connected vacation and holiday rental ecosystem.
