Longer vacancy times Coverage

Risk Factors

When a house isn’t your primary home, more often than not, it’s left unoccupied. Empty houses carry a higher risk of unreported (or late-reported) dangers, like leaks, fires, and vandalism.

Solution

The house owner should consider secondary home insurance to cover any unexpected perils.

Increased threat of theft Coverage

Risk Factors

Houses that are even temporarily unoccupied carry a greater risk of theft. If you’re renting the home out to guests for part of the year, visitors may also pose a risk.

Solution

The house owner should consider secondary home insurance to cover any theft-related property loss.

Environmental perils Coverage

Risk Factors

The features you appreciate most about your vacation home, like the waterfront view or resort location, could increase the chances that your property is affected by a natural disaster, like a hurricane, earthquake or wildfire.

Solution

You may need to purchase additional insurance coverage to protect the structure and your belongings from these types of disasters. Secondary home insurance can be opted for the same.

Potential Guest issues Coverage

Risk Factors

Do you like to host guests on your property? There can be possibilities where a drunk guest injures himself or damages your neighbor’s property.

Solution

Liability insurance is included in the policy you purchase for your secondary home and protects you from accidental bodily injury to another person or damage to their property. It’ll help cover medical expenses, legal fees if you’re sued, or paying for the damage you cause to another person’s property.

Property in your vacation home  Coverage

Risk Factors

You work hard for everything that makes your secondary home a comfortable and entertaining place to visit. However, if any of your property is damaged, you need to pay the repair costs from your pockets.

Solution

Personal property coverage is one way to ensure you’ll have the means to repair or replace them if they’re damaged by a covered loss, such as theft, fire, lightning, and more.

Types of Secondary Home Insurance Coverages

A secondary home insurance policy provides several key coverages, including:

Dwelling Coverage
Protect your secondary home's structure against fire, weather-related damage, and theft.

Coverage for Additional Structures
Includes protection for structures on your property, like gardening sheds, garages, and boat docks.

Personal Property Coverage
Safeguards the furniture, clothes, cookware, and other possessions you have at your second residence.

Coverage for Loss of Use
Covers additional living costs if a covered loss renders your second home uninhabitable and forces you to relocate temporarily.

Insurance for Personal Liability
Pays for medical and legal costs should you be found accountable for another person's harm or property damage.

Medical Payments Coverage
Covers medical expenses for guests injured on your property.

Importance of Secondary Home Insurance


Second homes offer a retreat from daily life and are valuable investments. However, they also present a higher insurance risk than primary residences. Infrequent occupancy of a second home in Dunlap or anywhere in Illinois increases the risk of theft, vandalism, and unnoticed damages, such as burst water pipes.
