Oct 1, 2024

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, USA, October 1, 2024 – Vertical Insure, a leader in embedded insurance solutions, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Kasa, a tech-powered, hotel and apart-hotel brand and operator. This collaboration embeds comprehensive travel insurance options directly into Kasa’s booking platform, offering guests seamless and reliable trip protection.

Founded in 2016, Kasa partners with real estate owners to transform multifamily apartments, boutique hotels, and single-family homes into professionally managed accommodations. Leveraging advanced technology and deep industry experience, Kasa has become the leader in maximizing the profitability of hotel and apart-hotel properties while delivering memorable and high quality guest experiences. The platform features more than 80 properties across 40 cities and is trusted by over 40 institutions to operate their properties; including Starwood Capital, Berkshire, Brookfield, and TPG. The Kasa team has over $40 billion of real estate and hotel investing operating experience from firms like Apollo, KKR, Goldman Sachs, Kimpton, and Highgate Hotels as well as technology experience from Airbnb and Duetto Cloud.

By partnering with Vertical Insure, guests who book through Kasa can now choose from various trip protection tiers directly within their virtual front desk. Basic Trip Protection covers travel and lodging costs in case of trip cancellations or interruptions, while higher tiers offer coverage for medical emergencies, lost or damaged luggage, and delays. This embedded insurance option enhances the guest experience by providing comprehensive protection without disrupting the booking process.

“Partnering with Vertical Insure reinforces our commitment to becoming the trusted hotel brand of choice for owners and guests alike,” said Craig Minoff, Chief Product Officer & Head of Company Operations at Kasa. “With Vertical Insure’s seamless integration and technology, we can offer peace of mind to each guest with the convenience they’ve come to expect from our platform.”
