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.
