How Truvi Processes Resolution Claims
Understand how we evaluate evidence, calculate settlements, and reach decisions on incident reports.
How It Works
When you submit an incident report, it moves through four stages:
- Evidence Review - We verify damage occurred and assess documentation quality
- Eligibility Check - We confirm the claim meets protection requirements
- Settlement Calculation - We determine fair market value of the damage
- Payment - We process your payout within 5 business days
Most claims process within 48 hours. Complex cases may take up to 30 days.
Evidence Requirements
We evaluate submissions across five categories:
- Photos - Clear images showing damage from multiple angles
- Description - Written explanation of what happened
- Costs - Professional quotes, receipts, or repair estimates
- Guest contact - Evidence you attempted to resolve with the guest
- Supporting docs - House rules, police reports, or other materials
If evidence is insufficient: You receive specific feedback and can supplement your submission.
Eligibility Requirements
All must be met for claim approval:
- Active Truvi protection for the booking
- Booking processed through Truvi and guest screened
- Incident occurred during guest stay
- Reported within 30 days of checkout
- Damage type is covered (not wear & tear, acts of nature, etc.)
Settlement Calculation
We calculate payouts based on:
Depreciation - Items in rentals depreciate faster than in homes
- Linens/towels: 1-2 year lifespan
- Furniture: 5-7 years
- Tables/appliances: 7-10 years
Repair vs. Replace - We pay whichever costs less
Like-for-Like - We replace at equivalent specification, not upgrade
Deductions - Any payments already received (deposits, guest payments, insurance) are deducted
Example: £1,200 sofa claim → 4 years old → £480 current value → £450 repair quote → £100 guest paid → £350 settlement
Payment Process
Timeline: Within 5 business days of settlement acceptance
Method: Balance paid to your bank account
Note: Outstanding invoices may delay payment
