Damage to a guests car

This is Margarete, I did drive out of my garage and accidentally hit my guests car in the drive way. It had some dents and scratches and I felt horribly. I immediately arranged to have it fixed at a collision shop in our area. It was for a few days in the garage, in the meantime I gave my guest my car to use. 

The repair was done wonderfully, nothing to see anymore but it did cost me $ 1154.13. My car insurance has over $ 2000.- deductible so it had to come out of my pocket.

 

Needless to say, the guest left happy as a clam!

 

I wonder if the Airbnb insurance will reimburse me? I did not see any info for a situation like this anywhere.

Any suggestions anybody?

@Margarete17  You can try to contact Airbnb. But I doubt that they will cover your case based on the stories posted in this forum. It is very hard to claim from Airbnb so-called 1 million dollar guarantee.

Thank you Mike for your input. Should I find out anything positive I will let the Community know!
