Finding Vacation Rental Insurance You Love

If you own a vacation property that you rent to guests, you need the right short-term rental insurance to protect your investment (and your heart). Without the right coverage, you’re at risk of financial loss if the property is damaged or a guest is injured. Many vacation rental property owners are not sure if they’re compatible with this type of insurance. They may even question if they are a right fit or how to get coverage.

Am I a Match for Vacation Rental Insurance?

The first question you should ask yourself is “Do I advertise my property on sites like Airbnb, Vrbo, or booking.com?” If the answer is yes, then you are a vacation rental owner. The next question should be “Do I have the right insurance now that I’m running a small business?” If the answer is no or I don’t know, it’s time to find your perfect match.

When searching for the right vacation rental insurance, make sure it protects what matters most to you – you, your property and your income.

You can purchase coverage as an individual property owner, of course. Vacation rental insurance is also available even if you don’t own the rental property in your individual name. It is common for vacation rental property owners to hold those properties inside a business entity or other legal structure such as a sole proprietorship, corporation, limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or a trust.
