Being based in the heart of west wales, we have seen many changes in the holiday let market over the years. With properties and staycation holidays in demand in the last few years, we have helped customers get the insurance cover they need for the best price possible to fulfill their needs. You should always be cautious about what cover you need as different terms are required for different properties.
What is Holiday Let Insurance?
Holiday letting insurance is specialist insurance that covers holiday homes that are rented out to paying guests, as well as friends and family on a short-term basis. Policies typically cover public liability, accidental damage, loss of rent as well as periods when the property is unoccupied.
What are your cover options?
Whatever level of cover you opt for, it’s important to remember that holiday home insurance is different from standard home insurance, because your holiday home is used differently.
- Building cover – Building insurance covers the main structure of your holiday let and its permanent fixtures and fittings, like roof, ceilings, walls floors and any fitted appliances.
- Content cover – Covers personal belongings such as kitchen appliances, furniture, electricals, and soft furnishings in event of damage or theft.
As well as buildings and contents cover, when you’re buying insurance on a holiday home there are other optional types of cover available. Choices include:
- Accidental damage: This could be useful if you regularly have guests – they’re not always as careful as owners
- Loss of income: If you rent out your holiday home, loss of income cover will protect your earnings if you have to cancel any bookings due to property damage
- Alternative accommodation: If your holiday home is damaged and you have to find your guests somewhere else to stay, this will recoup your costs
- Public liability insurance: This covers any legal fees if someone else suffers an injury or dies on your property
- Employers’ liability insurance: This might be useful if you employ a cleaner or a gardener
