 Choosing the right holiday insurance is not too difficult provided that you stick to the correct guidelines, bearing in mind that it is a little bit more complicated than choosing ordinary home insurance because there are many other aspects to it.

For instance, many holiday homes policies cover swimming pools, which are extremely rare in the UK (particularly here up North!) But are quite common in the more popular sunny holiday resorts. However, has your holiday home got one? If not, there is no point having expensive cover that you do not need. Is the property covered if you let it out, or lend it to friends or family? And, here is a very important point that many people miss; holiday homes can be empty for the majority of the year and yet many home insurance policies specifically withdraw cover if a house has been unoccupied for more than a certain time, such as three months. Would your holiday home be covered? If so, would it be covered for every risk, or would some of them, such as burglary or water damage, be excluded? And here is one item that you probably haven't thought about at all; earthquake damage! Not necessary you may think, but tremors can be quite common in parts of Greece and Italy in particular and they are not completely unknown throughout the rest of the world!

So the next big question is, where do you find this insurance policy? One way is to talk to insurance agents in the resort where your holiday home is situated, because they are likely to be experienced in finding suitable cover for other nearby homes, but do bear in mind that you may have language difficulties particularly with the policy itself; it is absolutely essential that you have this translated into English before you sign anything. The other way of course is to buy from a UK agent or insurance company which specialises in this type of cover and you can do this completely online from the peace and comfort of your own home, and the majority will allow you to get a fixed quote within a very short space of time. Do ensure before you try to get quotations that you are completely aware of all the risks that your own property could fall victim to; it is unlikely that a normal every day off the shelf policy will cover everything so it is essential that the company you decide to entrust with your business is flexible and can vary the terms of the policy to suit your own unique circumstances.
