What is overseas holiday home insurance?
Holiday home insurance can protect against building damage or losses incurred at your overseas property.
If you own a home in sunnier climes, or you’re looking to purchase a new property in a holiday destination abroad, you may require holiday home insurance. Regular home insurance may not be enough to mitigate your risks. Instead, a policy designed for properties that are naturally left unoccupied for long periods, especially during the off season can be more appropriate. Therefore, it’s important that cover protects your property against damages and theft, even when you’re not there.
What cover is included with holiday home abroad insurance?
Our holiday home insurance comes with buildings and contents cover as standard. That can offer you protection for both accidental and malicious damage, along with theft to your buildings and contents. Unfortunately, some holiday home insurance providers decouple building and contents cover which can lead to more expensive premiums. By pairing these common policy threads, we offer a more well-rounded package.
Buildings insurance offers cover for your bricks and mortar, including permanent structures used for domestic purposes within the grounds of your holiday home.
Our building cover protects you against the following:
Contents insurance cover safeguards your household goods, fittings, and personal property – including things like any valuables and money.
Contents cover protects against the following:
Some of the key benefits of Intasure overseas holiday home insurance include:
Cover whether the property is occupied or unoccupied One significant benefit of choosing Intasure as your holiday home insurance provider is that we cover properties whether they’re occupied or unoccupied. This includes up to 60 days unoccupancy cover for loss of metered water or oil. That means you can relax in the knowledge that your holiday home is protected when you’re in the UK.
Emergency travel following a claim
If something untoward happens, you’ll want to be nearby as soon as possible. But getting a flight at the last second can be expensive. Choose Intasure, however, and we’ll give you emergency travel after an insured claim for damages worth £1,500 or greater. That means the cost of a flight won’t hold you back from rectifying a crisis.
Temporary accommodation cover
Need somewhere to stay for the duration of your visit? We can cover emergency accommodation provisions to keep a roof over your head.
Protection for swimming pools and hot tubs
Many holiday homes abroad come equipped with swimming pools. That’s why our holiday home insurance covers swimming pools and hot tubs, so if there is a fault or damage caused, we would reimburse you those costs in the event of a successful claim.
Cover for outbuildings
It’s good to know that your holiday home insurance isn’t restricted to the four walls of your main property. Summer houses and other outbuildings are equally important, so our policy gives you damage and theft protection for these too.
Public liability cover of up to £5 million
Public liability cover for insured claims is included as standard with our policies, protecting you against claims brought about for personal injury or damage to a third party.*
*Policy limits and exclusions may apply, please see the policy wording for full terms and conditions.
