Holiday Property Insurance Products

Protecting a holiday home’s contents requires a tailored approach, especially if the property remains a full-time rental for travellers all year round. 

Every property and landlord is unique, demanding specific insurance coverage. SGUA understands this and offers a range of customisable contents insurance and coverage options designed to safeguard your assets. From cosy cottages to inner city apartments, we provide the flexibility to choose the protection that best suits your client’s investment, ensuring peace of mind and security for your holiday home’s contents.

 

SGUA’s range of contents coverage options offers broad and comprehensive protection for a full range of defined events and unexpected circumstances. This kind of contents insurance is ideal for properties let out on Airbnb and Stayz (Excluding let out by the room).

 

You can rest easy knowing our contents insurance policy protects the contents in your client’s home. We understand that holiday homes often exist in areas where natural disasters are likely. 

 

From flooding to fires, storms and more, SGUA offers comprehensive coverage designed to meet the unique needs of holiday homes. We also offer coverage for rent loss, legal liability of up to $20 million and damages caused intentionally or unintentionally by tenants or pets.
