Understanding Hotel Insurance: Protecting your Hospitality Business.

Running a hotel, whether a grand establishment, a cozy bed and breakfast, or an Airbnb rental, comes with its own challenges and risks.

Click on one of the below topics to unpack your Hospitality Insurance:

Commercial Liability ←

Hotels are exposed to various liability risks. In the unfortunate event of a guest injury or property damage, the hotel CGL insurance can cover legal and medical expenses. Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance can cover claims or legal actions by third parties alleging harm to their body or property.

For instance, if a visitor trips, falls, and sustains an injury while on your premises, CGL is intended to cover their medical expenses. Nobody wants to imagine being sued. However, accidents do happen, and if one occurs and you are found negligent, you could face a substantial settlement.

Property Insurance ←

One of the core aspects of hotel insurance is property coverage. It safeguards your building, furniture, equipment, and inventory against damages caused by unforeseen events. Commercial Property Insurance offers financial assistance in covering the costs of property losses or damages caused by severe weather, fire, flood, theft, or vandalism.

Incidents such as theft, vandalism, and adverse weather conditions can cause substantial damage to your property, resulting in significant repair expenses.

Business Interruption ←

The hospitality industry is not immune to unexpected disruptions. Hotel insurance can include business interruption coverage, compensating you for lost income and additional expenses incurred due to events that force you to temporarily close your doors, such as fire, severe weather, or other covered perils.

This coverage ensures that your business can recover and continue to thrive during challenging times.

Equipment Breakdown ←

Equipment Breakdown Insurance provides coverage for repairing or replacing costly electrical or mechanical equipment damaged due to power surges, electrical shorts, or mechanical malfunctions.

This type of insurance applies to various office equipment, such as computers and photocopiers, as well as the HVAC system in your building and any freezers, refrigerators, and kitchen appliances you own.

Crime Insurance ←

Regrettably, internal theft incidents occur more frequently than one might anticipate—commercial crime insurance safeguards against internal theft, fraudulent activities, and employee dishonesty.

Furthermore, it provides coverage for the pilferage of funds while in transit outside your business, such as during a bank deposit. It is important to note that to avail of this coverage; you must have commercial property insurance included in your policy.

Group Benefits ←

Every business, regardless of size, should have a Group Benefits plan. It benefits your employees to get coverage at a reduced cost compared to most personal plans. Help reduce financial stress if something happens to protect your employees and their family’s health.

Does my homeowner’s insurance cover Airbnb rentals?

While it is possible that certain homeowners insurance policies in Canada may provide some coverage for short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, it is not guaranteed. There are several factors that you should take into consideration:

Here are some factors to consider:

  • Policy language: The wording of your policy will dictate what is covered. Some policies may exclude short-term rentals altogether, while others may offer limited coverage.
  • Rental frequency: How often you rent out your property can influence coverage. Some insurers may restrict the number of days a property can be rented out per year.
  • The type of rental (e.g., entire home, private room) may also impact coverage.
  • Insurance company: Different insurance companies have varying policies regarding short-term rentals.

If your policy doesn’t cover Airbnb rentals, you may need to purchase additional insurance specifically designed for short-term rentals.
