SAN FRANCISCO - May 14, 2025 – Tint, a leading embedded insurance platform, today announced a partnership with Escapia, the global vacation rental software for property management companies, to offer SmartSTR Insurance™ to its property managers and their homeowners across the United States. SmartSTR Insurance™ offers Escapia's network of 900+ property management companies seamless access to comprehensive short-term rental insurance coverage.
Homeowners insurance falls short for properties used for short-term rentals leaving homeowners exposed to risks that could cost them. SmartSTR Insurance™ provides flexible content damage coverage (up to $50K) designed specifically for the short-term rental market, including protection against guest-caused property damage, bed bug infestation, and liability coverage.
With the integration of SmartSTR Insurance™, property managers benefit from seamless data sharing between Escapia and Tint, while managing their insurance needs through Tint's dedicated platform. With a robust data integration between Tint and Escapia, property managers can now trust that once coverage is purchased, all future bookings will seamlessly include SmartSTR Insurance coverage, providing peace of mind and reducing manual work, allowing property managers to stay focused on growing their portfolio while providing the protection homeowners need.
"Tint’s partnership with Escapia represents another step forward in making insurance more accessible for end users," said Matheus Riolfi, CEO and Co-Founder at Tint. "Escapia’s commitment to quality is unparalleled through integrations with trusted channel and business partners. We’re honored to join their list of partners to offer more seamless insurance solutions."
