Hotel and guesthouse insurance with Howden
As well as making sure the bricks & mortar and contents are adequately insured, hoteliers and guesthouse owners have the added responsibility of obtaining the right cover for their guests and employees. You'd rather be looking after your guests, so why not let us help you find the right policy for your needs?
Getting competitive insurance can be challenging for hotels too, due to the rise and frequency of accidents and incidents leading to insurance claims. This upward trajectory is forcing insurers to increase their pricing.
When a guest walks through the door all sorts of legislation and regulations apply, many of which can result in a claim. Hotel and guesthouse insurance is a specialised, important tool that can help reduce these risks.
Here at Howden our approach to hotel and guesthouse insurance is different. By managing risk, enhancing a hotel’s ability to defend against accusations of negligence, and creating a new and improved risk profile, we’re actively seeing insurers compete for our client’s business.
What’s more, our experienced team have access to a large pool of specialist insurers as it is, which provide a comprehensive product range, meaning that we’re confident we can help you find a policy that makes sense for your hotel or guesthouse.
So what’s the hold up? Get in touch with us today and we can get started with helping you get your hands on a hotel and guesthouse policy that ticks all your boxes.
