Airbnb insurance
Renting out your home through Airbnb is a great way to advertise your holiday rental property, especially if you intend on having guests throughout the year rather than just during peak seasons.
As a successful holiday home is often occupied all year round, your property is likely to receive a steady influx of guests. This is great, but it also maximises the risk to your treasured property and the furniture within it.
We can arrange insurance for different types of Airbnb rental including:
- Properties occupied by the owner/host
- Holiday accommodation combined with other uses, for example, longer-term AST lets during ‘low season’
- Year-round holiday accommodation
- Serviced accommodation
- Properties leased on ‘rent-to-rent’ contracts

FAQ's
-
If you do not make your insurers aware then your policy could be invalid. Most standard homeowners insurance policies exclude cover for short-term rentals and would also exclude cover for malicious damage or theft by people lawfully in the property so this type of policy is not suitable.
-
Whilst Airbnb does provide limited cover for damage caused by guests to your and Third Party Property and your liability in relation to your guests, you do still need buildings and/or contents insurance to cover all other losses such as fire, theft, storm, flood, escape of water etc. Not all insurers accept Airbnb arrangements so you would need to make your main property insurer aware of your intentions.

Whilst Airbnb does provide limited liability in relation to your guests and damage caused by guests to Third Party Property, you will still need cover for your liability to the general public in connection with anything unrelated to Airbnb.
