Peers launches homesharing liability coverage

Insurance companies are realizing what the future of coverage and liability looks like and it’s clearly peer-to-peer. Peers.org, an organization committed to support the peer-to-peer employee/participants of the world, partnered with Porter & Curtis, LLC to provide homesharing liability so that your home is covered whether it’s listed on Airbnb, HomeAway or VRBO.

“Homesharing Liability Insurance works with your existing home insurance policy, so you don’t need to make any changes to your existing home insurance policy. Homesharing liability allows you to choose the months you need coverage, so you’re not you’re not over-insured if you don’t homeshare all year round.”- Homesharing Liability Insurance, Peers.org

The best part about this is that your homesharing insurance, covers you WHEREVER you go. It sounds like the first step to a marketplace synergy that will support marketplace users across various sites.

And the best part? It also works with your existing insurance policy. Could it get any safer to list your home?

Our thoughts? Will this inspire other insurance companies and marketplaces to team up and provide other types of insurance coverage? Ridesharing? Mealsharing? We think (and hope) so.

We hope more insurance companies see that this is a positive disruption to traditional insurance policies and that the time is now to make the appropriate changes for other marketplace verticals.
