Overseas holiday home insurance

‘Bonjour’, ‘au reviour’ and ‘merci’ may serve you well whilst visiting your holiday home overseas, but even if ‘they speak English there anyway’ or you’re a linguist – unfamiliar, foreign procedures and ambiguous policy wording could leave you speechless when it comes to insuring your holiday home abroad.

With our overseas holiday home insurance an interpretation service and 24-hour helpline manned by English-speaking advisors comes as standard. Our advisors will provide guidance to help you to ensure your property is suitably covered and our flexibility allows cover whether your holiday home empty or let to paying customers, friends or family.

The best of both worlds

We are pleased to be able to insure your holiday home in most European countries, and our policies are underwritten by a consortium of leading UK insurers. All of our documentation is in English and our claims service is based in the UK.
