Sauble Beach Realty Inc. Waiver of Limited Liability

The Damage Protection Waiver is not Insurance. The Damage Protection Waiver of Limited Liability only applies to accidental damage.

While no one expects to damage a rental property or its’ contents, accidents do happen. It’s small price to pay when you consider how expensive it is to replace a smart TV remote control, coffee pot or screen door. Damage Protection will cover you in the case of any accidental damage to the rental and/or contents.

Damage Protection Waiver features

  • $129 for up to $2000.00 of coverage
  • No deductible

Particularly Helpful to Guests who:

  • are traveling with children or pets
  • are staying at luxury rentals
  • are travelling with larger groups

What is the Damage Protection Waiver?

  • The Damage Protection Waiver is a Waiver of Limited Liability available to our Guests that can help them protect themselves from additional expenses should accidental damage occur to a rental property during their stay. The Damage Protection Plan provides coverage for accidental damage to the rental home that can include: broken lamps, windows and glass, electronics, damaged doors, walls and furniture, stained bedding or linens, lost keys and re-keying costs.

Where do I purchase the Waiver of Liability for Damage Protection?

  • It is included as part of your rental contract when you book with us.

Does Damage Protection provide coverage for damage caused by pets?

  • Yes, the plan can provide coverage for damage caused by pets, as long as having pets at the rental is permitted by the vacation rental owner or property manager. Pet damage is not covered if the pet’s presence in the rental violates the rental agreement.

Does Damage Protection provide coverage for theft?

  • Yes, there is coverage under the plan for theft caused by any person other than anyone staying at the reservation if the theft is substantiated by a police report. As the Damage Protection does not cover intentional acts, coverage would not be afforded if you intentionally take something from the vacation rental property.

Will you still require a security deposit when I purchase the Damage Protection?

  • A credit card number will still be required and held by our office for extra cleaning charges, garbage disposal, pet cleanup, etc during your stay. If you choose to not purchase the Damage Protection we will require a credit card that can be authorized for $2000 prior to you checking in. It is a wise choice to purchase the Damage Protection if you are concerned about accidental damage occurring during your stay. By paying a small fee for Damage Protection your credit card isn’t required to be held for a large security deposit.
