Free Airbnb CO/Smoke Alarm: Request One for Hosts

What's Included in This Offer

We recommend checking out this free safety upgrade for your short-term rental. Active Airbnb hosts who can’t buy a detector themselves can request a brand-new smoke and/or carbon-monoxide alarm at no cost. The alarm arrives ready to install, so you won’t need any extra accessories.

The offer covers a single unit - either a smoke detector, a CO detector, or a combined model - depending on what you request. There are no hidden kits or extra gadgets; you simply receive the detector that meets local safety standards.

Because the alarm is provided directly by Airbnb, you can trust it’s a reputable product that complies with the platform’s safety guidelines. The only extra cost you’ll see is any applicable custom taxes that your country may levy on the shipment.

How to Claim Your Freebie

• Step 1: Click the claim button below this article to open the request form.
• Step 2: Sign in with your Airbnb host account on the Elevate portal.
• Step 3: Confirm that you are an active host and that you don’t already have a personal smoke or CO alarm for the listing.
• Step 4: Provide the shipping address where you want the detector delivered.
• Step 5: Review the note about being responsible for any applicable custom taxes, then submit your request.
• Step 6: Wait for a confirmation email that your alarm is on its way.

Eligibility: you must be a currently active Airbnb host and unable to purchase your own detector. No age restriction is listed, but you need a valid host account to complete the process.

Why You'll Want It

Safety is a top selling point for any rental, and a working alarm can turn a good review into a great one. By adding a certified smoke or carbon-monoxide detector, you protect guests, protect your property, and stay in line with Airbnb’s safety standards - all without spending a dime on the hardware.

The free alarm is perfect for new hosts who are still building their inventory, as well as seasoned hosts looking to upgrade an outdated detector. Installation takes only a few minutes, and the device will automatically alert occupants if dangerous levels of smoke or CO are detected.

Because the alarm is supplied by Airbnb, you also get the peace of mind that it meets the platform’s compliance checklist. That means fewer headaches during inspections and a smoother experience for both you and your guests.
