How to avoid chalet rental scams
Be wary of prices far below the market, owners who ask you to pay outside the platform by e-transfer or wire, and listings with few photos or no reviews. Booking and paying through a recognized platform gives you protection if something goes wrong.
Insurance
If you are a chalet owner renting short term, talk to your insurer: standard home insurance may not cover rentals. See our sister site’s insurance guide.
