Customised Holiday Property Insurance Products

Your client’s holiday property is unique, which means cookie-cutter insurance policies just won’t do. Our flexible custom holiday property insurance policies are designed to address the coverage needs of your clients, ensuring they’re always protected during life’s most unforeseen moments.


For those who rent out their holiday homes, custom holiday property insurance is crucial to protect your client’s income stream. If the property becomes damaged or uninhabitable, rental income can be significantly impacted. Plus, unlike primary residences, holiday homes are often unoccupied for long periods, increasing the risk of burglary, damage and sudden maintenance issues.


SGUA’s range of insurance policies offer broad and comprehensive protection for a full range of defined events and unexpected circumstances. This insurance is ideal for properties let out on Airbnb and Stayz (excluding those let out by the room), such as residential properties, apartments, villas, cottages, townhouses and more.
