Is SwapnFly only for students

SwapnFly has been originally created in order to allow students to swap their accommodation.
Non students are however welcome to join us and exchange their house. This site is not exclusively dedicated to students.

I am a tenant of my apartment, can I still exchange it on SwapnFly?

Yes, you can register and swap your accommodation. Exchanging your accommodation is not a subleasing and you are hence allowed to exchange or lend your accommodation for a short period of time.

I would like to exchange my apartment. Am I still covered by my insurance?

Yes, if you have a house insurance and a liability insurance, you can safely exchange your accommodation. You can also exchange your means of transportation (car, bicycle…), in this case, we advise you to liaise with your insurance company, in order to be advised of the specificities of your insurance contract, and with your swap partner, the conditions of payment in case of accident.

Is it safe to swap my house?

All exchanges are based on trust. Your fellow exchangers will share the same concerns as yours. This is why we encourage you to establish a good relationship with your future fellow exchangers, using our mail system. Keep in mind that as locals, they are the best advisers on how to organize your holidays in their country. SwapnFly is not a simple tool for goods exchanges, but an opportunity to make friends from new horizons, and share your interests in travel and adventure.
If you still have concerns, make sure with your insurance that any possible damages from your guests, will be covered and the ones you could make at their place as well. Remember also that all insurance companies consider that your house is more protected if it is occupied during your holidays. But above all, keep in mind that both parties have the same objective: Make that exchange a complete success.
