Airbnb hosts lose $300 to $2,000
on every rejected claim.
When a guest says “it was already there,” Airbnb needs verified proof. Regular phone photos have no GPS, no locked timestamp, and that is the single reason most claims get denied.

Why most claims get rejected
Your phone photos prove nothing.
Airbnb does not reject claims because hosts are dishonest. They reject them because the evidence cannot answer one question: when did the damage happen?
Phone photo
No GPS. No locked timestamp. Claim denied.
Verified report
GPS locked. Timestamp sealed. Claim accepted.

Every host knows this story
Guest denies the damage
They checked out fine, they say. You have no proof of when the damage happened.
Your photos are not enough
Regular photos have no timestamp, no GPS, no chain of custody. AirCover rejects them.
You pay out of pocket
Without verified evidence, the dispute closes in the guest's favor. Every time.

Full property damage
Without verified evidence, these claims get denied. And the money comes out of your pocket.
Check-in vs Check-out
The fastest way to prove guest damage.
One report shows the property before the guest. One report shows it after. The comparison is the evidence Airbnb cannot reject.
Real reports from a real property. No account needed to view.
How it works
Three steps. Zero disputes.
Seal your evidence before checkout
Walk through the property and take photos. GPS coordinates and timestamps lock automatically at the moment of capture. No guest can dispute them later.
Create proof before the guest disputes you
One tap turns your photos into a tamper-evident report. The before-and-after is already sealed when the guest checks out, not scrambled together after damage appears.
Send evidence Airbnb cannot reject
Share the public verification link with AirCover, your guest, or your insurer. Anyone can confirm the report is authentic without taking your word for it.
The difference is clear
Without proof vs. with proof.

Features
Built for serious hosts.
GPS-verified photos
Every photo is tagged with exact GPS coordinates. Location cannot be faked or edited after the fact.
Tamper-evident timestamps
Reports are sealed at creation time. Any alteration attempt is detectable, giving you a court-admissible record.
Shareable verify link
Each report gets a unique public URL. Send it to AirCover or insurers and they verify without needing an account.
PDF certificate export
Download a branded PDF of any report, ready to attach to an AirCover claim or email to your insurer.
Team access
Invite cleaners, co-hosts, or property managers. Everyone works in the same account and reports always stay with the property.
Works on any device
No app to install. Open the link on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Checkout Shield runs entirely in the browser.
AirCover requires proof
Airbnb won't pay
without evidence.
AirCover claims are rejected every day because hosts cannot prove when damage occurred. Checkout Shield gives you verified, timestamped evidence that Airbnb actually accepts.
Quick answers
Got questions? Here you go.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Checkout Shield runs entirely in your browser. Open the link on your phone, take photos, and your report is ready instantly. Nothing to download.
Can guests dispute the timestamp?
No. The GPS coordinates and timestamps are locked at the moment of capture and stored in our system. They cannot be edited by anyone after the fact.
Does Airbnb actually accept these reports?
Checkout Shield was built specifically to meet AirCover evidence requirements. Reports include GPS verification, tamper-evident timestamps, and a public link that Airbnb can verify independently.
