The published facts, in plain English
Safely is Per-night STR insurance. On cost, the published figure is Per occupied night (~$4–$10), quote. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Pay-as-you-go $1M liability + screening; opaque quote pricing.
Who it’s for
Safely is suited for short-term rental owners who prefer a pay-as-you-go insurance model. It may appeal to those who want liability coverage and guest screening integrated into their operations.
Our take
Safely provides per-night insurance coverage, with stated prices in the range of approximately $4–$10 per occupied night, though a precise quote is required. The company includes $1 million in liability coverage and guest screening. It is a mid-sized provider that requires partial integration with a property management system, and they do not offer a free tier.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Safely shows Per occupied night (~$4–$10), quote and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Safely offers a pay-as-you-go option for STR insurance, but the opaque quote pricing makes direct comparison difficult. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Safely
- “Is Per occupied night (~$4–$10), quote per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
