Do I need to make my home insurers aware that I'm sharing my home?

Yes, you should make your underlying home insurer aware that you are using platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com as some insurers will make your policy invalid if they find out what you are using the property for.

We offer underlying home insurance which allows for guests to stay and protects your home.

If you’re involved in the home-sharing industry, then finding the right home insurance is crucial.

If your home insurance provider is not informed that you are using your property as a short-term rental, then your home insurance policy will be void and this will affect you when you try to make a claim.
