How to Purchase Damage Protection

As a Protection Brands Partner you will want to put coverage in place through your partner portal.  It is the most efficient means and it provides preferred pricing for lodging providers who make reoccurring purchases. Visit www.getdamageprotection.com and then bookmark it for future visits. Choose 'PURCHASE' from the main menu to initiate a transaction.

At the site you will see that there are three form sections to be completed:

  1. Primary Coverage Holder - this is information about you, the individual who is purchasing the coverage and who will receive the check when a claim is processed. It's your basic contact information and often your browsers auto-fill function, if turned on, can populate this information for you, saving time. 
  2. Property and Coverage Information - this section is about the property and guest stay for which coverage is being purchased. The only guest information that is needed is the booking date and the begin & end dates of the stay.  Contact information for the guest is not required, although in some cases a claims adjuster may request this information from you should a claim be filed. The booking number is for your reference. If you click the 'save property profile' box, property information will be saved and made available by selecting the property from a drop down menu that will appear the next time you visit. This is especially helpful if you own or manage several properties. 
  3. Payment Information - This information is needed to process your credit card payment.  If much of the information is the same as the Primary Coverage Holder, you may elect to check the box and copy that information to the billing section. Also if you would like the system to remember your payment preferences, you can click the box labeled 'save card'.  The encrypted information is stored on the credit card merchant servers, not on our servers to speed up time on your next visit.
Once you click the 'purchase' button the order is submitted for credit card processing and the program administrator receives the coverage information. You will have the option to print the confirmation to a file which we recommend you do for future reference. 

Purchase information is available in your partner portal.  A future software release will expand on the details to make the information of greater use.
