What Does Holiday Home Insurance In Ireland Cover?
As mentioned, our holiday home insurance includes building and contents cover, as you might expect from a residential insurance policy.
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 insurance
Our holiday home cover includes building and contents cover, as you might expect from a residential insurance policy.
Intasure offers protection from the following risks:
-
Damage to buildings or contents due to natural disasters, such as flooding & fires.
-
Loss or damage caused by electrical power surges
-
Theft of household contents
-
Accidental damage to household goods, carpets, and sanitary fixtures
-
Escape of water or oil from household appliances, such as washing machines
Public liability cover
Public liability cover can protect you against the financial risks of letting your holiday home to paying guests. In such scenarios, 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.
We offer £5 million cover as standard for insured public liability claims.
Emergency travel cover
Minor problems can quickly snowball into serious issues when you’re away from your property. That could be a leaking pipe leading to water damage, or storm damage rendering your home uninhabitable. If a disaster arises, our emergency travel insurance can help to reimburse you for travel costs when you need to get to your holiday home in a hurry.
Loss of rent cover
If you have a confirmed rental booking that can’t go ahead due to house damage, loss of rent cover can help to cover the lost income.
Alternative accommodation cover
Damage to your property may mean it’s no longer inhabitable. Alternative accommodation cover can cover hotel fees if you need to relocate while repairs are undertaken.
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.

How much does Irish holiday home insurance cost?
While all insurance policies vary in cost, several factors typically shape the premium you pay, including:
- Your property’s location– for example, areas in close proximity to rivers, seas or other bodies of water, could result in higher premiums
- The size of your property– larger properties tend to attract higher premiums
- The contents within your property– storing high-value contents in your property can result in greater insurance costs
-
Why is overseas property insurance important?
If you can’t visit your second home regularly, you may find suitable insurance can help to provide peace of mind. Intasure is a specialist second home insurance provider, whether your property is located in the UK or overseas.
Leaks, floods, and other forms of damage to your home can require you to be there in person. That’s why we offer cover for emergency travel costs for insured claims. Cover for the cost of temporary accommodation is also available if the damage means your holiday home is no longer inhabitable.

Can I get cover if I want to let my home out?
