Description

Key Takeaways:

✅ Platform protection programs have critical gaps, some offer no damage reimbursement at all, and strict reporting windows can disqualify legitimate claims

✅ Deposits above $2,000 create measurable booking friction, while low deposits leave you exposed to out-of-pocket costs that can exceed thousands

✅Successful protection strategies combine tiered deposits, third-party verification services, and insurance-backed waivers rather than relying on a single approach

✅ Integrated management systems automate deposit processing and verification, reducing administrative work while maintaining consistent protection across all properties
