Vacation Rental Insurance for Owners
Turning your beach house, lake cabin, or Hill Country getaway into a short-term rental can be a smart way to offset costs or even build steady income. But when different guests are staying in your home week after week, the risks start to look a lot different than what your regular homeowners insurance was built for. Think accidental damage, liability concerns, or a last-minute cancellation that leaves you scrambling.
That’s where vacation rental insurance comes in and it’s not one-size-fits-all. At Rollo Insurance, we are familiar with the risks that come with short-term rentals in Texas and beyond. We’ll help you find coverage that fits your property, protects your income, and keeps your investment safe.
Unique Risks Addressed By Vacation Rental Property Insurance
Unlike long-term rentals or your primary residence, short-term vacation rentals come with a distinct set of potentials:
- Property Entrustment: Entrusting your property to numerous short-term guests inherently increases the risk of accidental damage, wear and tear beyond normal use, and even intentional damage.
- Increased Occupancy & Usage: Short-term rentals often experience higher turnover and more intensive use than traditional rentals, leading to accelerated wear and tear on furnishings, appliances, and the property itself.
- Vacation Rental Damage Insurance Claims: Guests may accidentally (or intentionally) cause damage that goes beyond a security deposit. Having the right insurance in place is crucial for covering these unexpected repair or replacement costs.
- Pet & Animal Liability: Allowing pets can attract more renters but also introduces the risk of pet-related damage to the property or even liability issues if a guest's pet bites another person or animal on your property.
- Loss of Income: Damage to your property from covered perils (like fire or storms) can render it uninhabitable, leading to a significant loss of rental income. Having insurance that covers this loss is vital for your financial stability.
- Theft: The risk of theft of your personal property within the vacation rental increases with a higher turnover of guests. This can include furniture, electronics, linens, and even appliances.
- Weather-Related Damage: Depending on your property's location, it may be susceptible to specific weather events, such as hurricanes, snow, ice, or wind damage.
