5. Enter your contact information.
You will be asked:
your first name
your last name
your phone number
your e-mail address
We will use this information to contact you once we have received quotes from our hosts.
6. Enter your home address.
Don’t worry, your information is safe. We’ll use your address to target local hosts whose accommodation meets your criteria.
We never share your address with hosts.
7. Provide information about your insurance claim
Here’s what to provide:
Full name of your claims adjuster. This person will help you submit your claim to your insurer. You can usually find his or her name in an e-mail they sent you, in your insurance documents or by calling your insurer.
Name of your insurer. If your insurance company is not listed, select “Other.” Then enter the company name in the field provided.
Claim number. You can find this number in the documents your insurer sent you in connection with your claim. You can also request it directly from your claims adjuster by phone or e-mail.
If you don’t have all this information, go to the next step. A Sinistar agent will follow up with you.
💁♂️ Good to know |
We'll need this information to coordinate your accommodation with your insurer if you decide to use our service. It will also be used to send documents to your insurer. For example, the rental agreement and invoices. |
8. List other places of interest (optional)
You can enter the address of other relevant places, such as your workplace or your children’s school. If the local accommodation is not suitable, we will search near these places.
9. Tell us about your needs (optional)
For example:
Do you need baby furniture?
Do you need pet-friendly housing?
Do you need parking for your car?
Do you have other needs?
If you choose the last option, a blank field will pop up for you to provide more details.
