How does seasonal insurance help me?

Seasonal insurance makes enjoying your home away from home better. With protection for your cottage or chalet, you know if something unexpected or accidental happens – while you’re there, or not there – you’re covered. From incidents caused by fire and water to theft and break-ins, seasonal insurance covers the cost to repair or replace your stuff so you don’t have to.

Does seasonal insurance cover my property if I use Airbnb?

Yes. We provide coverage for short-term rentals of seasonal properties for up to 125 days in a calendar year. So, if you occasionally rent out your spot on Airbnb or another home sharing service, you can have peace of mind in knowing it’ll be covered.

Seasonal coverages that keep you protected

Seasonal insurance is designed for properties that are used during certain periods of the year. It also offers protection for those that choose to use their properties for short-term rentals. Some coverages include:

Fire Damage

Fire and smoke are common culprits of property damage. If they occur, we’ll make sure it’s repaired or replaced.

Theft and Break-ins

Coverage for your belongings, like appliances, electronics, and furniture if they’re stolen or damaged at home or some place else.

Personal Liability Coverage

Legal protection if you’re sued due to someone else's injury or damage that occurs at your property.

Home and Detached Structures

We ensure any additions to a home, such as a basement apartment, or detached structures like pool houses, are included in coverage.

Personal Property

If you have any personal property in a home you occasionally use it’s protected.

Flood and Water Damage

Comprehensive overland water protection, covering flooding and sewer backup is available for some homes.

High-value Items

Want more protection for valuables like bicycles, jewellery, or artwork? We cover up to $2,500.
