INTRODUCTION

What is Holiday Let Insurance?

Holiday Let Insurance is a specialist policy created for residential properties that are rented to paying guests for short stays.

Unlike standard home or buy-to-let insurance, holiday let insurance is designed to reflect the additional risks associated with frequent guest turnover, seasonal occupancy, and periods when the property may be unoccupied.

Whether you let your property throughout the year or only during peak holiday seasons, specialist insurance helps provide comprehensive protection for your investment.

Who Needs Holiday Let Insurance?

This insurance is suitable for:
Whether you own a single holiday home or multiple short-term rental properties, specialist insurance helps protect both your property and your income.

Why Holiday Let Insurance Matters

Holiday rental properties face different risks compared with owner-occupied homes or traditional buy-to-let properties.

Factors insurers may consider include:

  • Frequent guest turnover
  • Seasonal occupancy
  • Periods when the property is vacant
  • Accidental damage by guests
  • Public liability exposure
  • High-value contents and furnishings
  • Additional amenities such as hot tubs or swimming pools

A specialist Holiday Let Insurance policy is designed to provide protection that reflects these unique risks.

Buildings Insurance for Holiday Lets

Buildings Insurance is the foundation of most Holiday Let Insurance policies.

Cover can help protect:

Roofs, walls and foundations
Permanent fixtures and fittings
Garages and outbuildings
Boundary walls and fencing
Decking, patios, and driveways
External structures

If your property is damaged following an insured event, the policy can contribute towards repair or rebuilding costs.

Property Owners' & Public Liability Insurance

If you welcome paying guests to your property, you have a legal responsibility to maintain a reasonably safe environment.

Property Owners’ Liability and Public Liability Insurance can help protect you if a guest or visitor suffers injury or property damage connected to your holiday let and makes a claim against you.

Claims may involve:

  • Slips or trips
  • Defective maintenance
  • Accidents involving outdoor areas
  • Falling roof tiles or masonry
  • Injuries relating to shared facilities

Liability cover is an important part of protecting holiday let owners from legal costs and compensation claims.
