CBIZ Vacation Rental Insurance is thrilled to participate in the fifth annual Vacation Rental Week! It’s time to spread awareness about the positive impact professionally managed vacation and holiday rentals have on guests, property owners and local economies across the country.

While the hard insurance market is expected to continue in 2024, property owners may be able to optimize their investments, maintain optimal coverage and limit relative price increases by understanding the influencing factors resonating from months and years past along with the trends and patterns expected to impact future conditions.

Nearly two of every three homes in America are underinsured, meaning the property is protected to an extent but doesn’t have sufficient limits or coverage features to cover the full expense of a potential claim. What’s worse, the average underinsurance amount is over 20%, with some being underinsured by as much as 60%.

When outside temperatures begin to drop, one of the costliest consequences is the increased energy it takes to maintain a comfortable home temperature. There are several methods to decrease your vacation rental’s utility costs while still ensuring the warmth and comfort of your guests.
