Vacation Rental Insurance
A vacation rental is a business wrapped inside a property. Vacation Rental insurance gives short-term rental owners the specialized coverage that protects their income, their guests, and their investment when platform protections and standard policies fall short.
The Policy Built for Hosts Who Treat Their Rental Like the Business It Is
Renting your property to vacationers is a rewarding income strategy, but it comes with a level of risk that most property owners underestimate until something goes wrong. Guests you have never met are staying in your home, using your appliances, and interacting with your property in ways that a standard homeowners policy was never designed to cover. Vacation rental insurance bridges the gap between what platforms promise and what actually protects you, giving you coverage built around the realities of hosting paying guests in a property you own and depend on.
Short-Term Rental Liability
Covers bodily injury and property damage claims filed by guests injured during their stay, protecting you from the legal and financial consequences of on-site accidents and incidents.
Guest Damage Coverage
Reimburses repair and replacement costs when guests damage your furniture, fixtures, appliances, or personal property beyond what a security deposit can reasonably cover.
Loss of Rental Income
Compensates you for bookings lost when a covered event like fire, storm, or water damage makes your property temporarily unavailable for guests during the repair process.
Building and Contents Coverage
Protects the structure of your vacation rental and the personal property inside it against fire, weather, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils that could compromise your ability to host.
Insurance Unlimited Benefits
Local Expertise
We understand life in the West and the risks that come with it. From mountain roads to sudden storms, our team knows how to match coverage to the realities of our communities.
Personal Relationships
Insurance is not one size fits all. We take the time to get to know you, your family, or your business so your coverage reflects what matters most.
Trusted Support
When the unexpected happens, you will have a partner who stands with you. Our agents are here to guide you through claims, answer questions, and provide peace of mind every step of the way.
Occasional and Seasonal Hosts
Renting your property a few weeks a year still creates liability gaps and property risks that a homeowners policy will not cover. Even infrequent hosting requires protection that activates the moment a paying guest arrives and does not disappear between bookings.
Full-Time Vacation Rental Operators
Owners who depend on consistent rental income to cover mortgage payments, maintenance costs, and investment returns need comprehensive coverage that protects every booking, every guest, and every dollar the property generates throughout the year.
For Every Host Who Invested Too Much to Leave It to Chance
Vacation rental owners occupy a unique space between personal property ownership and active business operation. Regardless of how often you rent or which platform you use, your exposure to financial loss is real and your standard policy is likely not enough to address it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your success is at the heart of everything we do. As trusted insurance agents, we’re here to provide clear answers and expert guidance, helping you navigate challenges, uncover opportunities, and achieve lasting growth.
Is vacation rental insurance different from Airbnb or VRBO host protection?
Yes, significantly. Platform host protection programs offer some baseline coverage, but they are not insurance policies and should not be treated as primary protection. These programs have exclusions, claim caps, and conditions that vary by platform and can change without notice. They also exist to protect the platform's interests as much as yours. Vacation rental insurance is an independent policy underwritten specifically for short-term rental hosts, giving you broader, more reliable protection that does not depend on a platform's terms of service or claims process.
Will my homeowners insurance cover me if a guest is injured at my vacation rental?
In most cases, no. Standard homeowners policies are underwritten for owner-occupied residences and typically exclude incidents arising from business activity, which short-term renting almost always qualifies as. A guest injury claim filed under a homeowners policy is likely to be denied, and repeated short-term rental activity could give your insurer grounds to cancel your policy altogether. Vacation rental insurance covers guest injuries as a core part of its design, ensuring you are protected without putting your homeowners coverage at risk.
What if my property is only rented part of the year and I use it personally the rest of the time?
This is one of the most common situations vacation rental owners face, and the right policy is built to handle it. Many vacation rental insurance products are designed to cover a property that transitions between personal use and paying guests throughout the year. The key is full transparency with your agent about how the property is used, how frequently it is rented, and which platforms you list it on. That information allows your agent to structure a policy that protects you in every phase of the property's use without gaps between your personal stays and your guest bookings.
