What Is German Holiday Home Insurance?

German holiday home insurance is similar to cover for a main residence. For instance, you can get buildings and contents insurance to protect your property’s structure and belongings. However, there are some key differences.

Holiday homes can be left unoccupied for prolonged periods. As such, you may want a policy that helps to protect your home against the risks its exposed to when you’re not there.

What Does German Holiday Home Insurance Cover?

German holiday home insurance can cover loss and damage to your property’s structure and belongings housed inside. In addition, because holiday homes in the warmer regions of Germany can feature swimming pools and outbuildings, our insurance can ensure they are also protected.

These are brief product descriptions only. Please refer to the policy documentation paying particular attention to the terms and conditions, exclusions, warranties, subjectivities, excesses and any endorsements.

Buildings and contents cover

Whether your property’ structure is damaged or the contents inside are stolen, our buildings and contents cover can help with such situations.

Intasure offers protection from the following risks:

Damage to buildings or contents due to natural disasters
Loss or damage caused by electrical power surges
Theft of personal property, money (up to £250), and valuables
Accidental damage to household goods, carpets, and sanitary fixtures
Escape of water or oil of household contents

Public liability cover

Letting your holiday home in Germany can be an excellent way to earn extra income. However, it doesn’t come without risks. As such, we can offer public liability cover of £5 million cover as standard for insured public liability claims. This cover offers protection in cases such as a guest suffering bodily injury whilst staying in your property, or if damage is caused to a third party property.

Emergency travel costs cover

We can cover emergency travel costs if something disastrous happens to your holiday home while you’re out of the country.

Alternative accommodation cover

Following an insured incident, we also provide alternative accommodation if your property is rendered uninhabitable.

Loss of rent cover

Following an insured incident, we offer cover for loss of rent if you can’t let out your property due to damage.

Unoccupancy cover

Unoccupancy cover can help to relieve worries about your property when you’re out of the country. Subject to policy terms and conditions, we can cover your property year-round if you visit weekly, monthly, or just for a couple of weeks a year. For example, small issue like a leaky tap when you’re not there turning into escape of water can still be covered even when you’re not staying at the property.

Do I need both buildings and contents insurance for my holiday home in Germany?

It’s worth considering buildings and contents holiday home insurance in Germany, to help protect your second home. Some mortgage lenders require that a buildings policy be in place. Neither buildings cover nor contents cover are mandatory, but they could prove a useful financial safety net.
Do I need holiday home insurance to rent out my German property?

Renting out your holiday home can be a great way to earn additional income, whether during peak seasons or over the long term. In any case, you may want an insurance policy that offers protection against the risks associated with housing paying guests, especially public liability cover.
