How do you include a Liability Waiver included with AirBNB Booking?

Is there an option to include a Liability Waiver with the AirBNB booking?   There is on other rental sites.

I own a cabin on the water that I rent out.  It is unclear that AirBNB will cover me if someone hurt using kayaks  or paddleboats.    Therefore, I currently ask all renters in the direct messaging chat section to read and sign a waiver.   I'd love to include this with the booking automatically.  If available, could some post how this is done.   

Thanks

@Brad880 We do have everyone staying at our island, which has kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling boards, sea scooters, etc. to sign a waiver of liability upon arrival. Not one guest in 8 years has ever balk at signing it. Granted ours is short & sweet not some over the top 'legal manifesto', in essence its central message is: 'Swim at your own risk'.

Hi @Brad880, Did you manage to find more information about it elsewhere?


I am also reaching out to some of our experienced members if they can share some insights into your post: @Fred13 @Pat271.

Thanks Fred.  I already do this.   Other hosting platforms have a waiver option built within their platform that is included with the booking.  Then I do not have to manage getting signed waivers at all.   That is the option I'm looking for built within AirBNB platform.

Would be very helpful - hopefully they implement this soon. 

Hi Fred and Brad - thanks for this helpful advice. I'm currently looking at doing the same for my waterfront property, providing a waiver, etc. Would either of you be open to sharing your current liability waiver with me? Just looking at a few options and trying to craft something that suits my place best. Thank you!

we are looking into the same topic.

 

I noticed that AirB&B does have a waiver for their Experiences but not for Hosting:
