Protect your property in the UK and abroad with holiday home insurance
Do you own or are you considering buying a holiday home or an additional property for frequent visits? With holiday home insurance your property can benefit from added protection against damage, theft, and other risks.
Whether it’s for weekends away with the family or a base for friends to stop by, second homes open up opportunities, and we understand the appeal. However, you may also want to consider putting appropriate safeguards in place for your property.
At Intasure, we offer holiday home insurance in the UK and across more than 20 countries and territories throughout the EU and beyond. Speak to us about securing cover for a variety of property types – from luxury villas to apartments, barns, and chalets.
What is holiday home insurance?
Holiday home insurance (also referred to as second home insurance) can cover an additional property that isn’t used as a full-time or main residence. Like standard home insurance, it’s a policy that can include buildings and contents cover. This is an important consideration regardless of whether your property is based in the UK or overseas.
Policy details can vary depending on your property type and how you plan to use the property. Holiday let insurance, for example, contains clauses specific to a property that is let on short-term rentals and long-term rentals.
Likewise, property insurance requirements for log cabins may differ to those for an old brick cottage, for instance, due to structural and locational differences.

You shouldn’t feel restricted when buying a second home. This is a chance for you to secure your dream holiday home, after all!
