Vacation Home and Income Property Insurance
More and more people are using services like VRBO and Airbnb to find vacation rentals. As a result, many people are using their homes to develop rental income. A standard homeowner’s policy may not cover losses incurred while your home is rented out. You may require a more specialized insurance policy.

Your policy will not cover wear and tear due to increased use.
VRBO, Airbnb and other rental sites may require proof of insurance.
