Chalet Insurance

Chalet Insurance from Quote Monkey provides specialist protection for owners of UK holiday chalets used for private and family use only. Whether your chalet is a seasonal retreat or enjoyed throughout the year, it’s important to have insurance designed specifically for chalet-style properties, which often differ from standard residential homes in construction and location. This policy protects your chalet against key risks including fire, theft, storm damage, flooding, vandalism, and accidental damage, giving you peace of mind whether the property is occupied or temporarily unoccupied.

For £158.36 including all fees and Insurance Premium Tax, this policy includes up to £100,000 buildings insurance and up to £20,000 contents insurance, with accidental damage included as standard for both the structure and its contents. £2 million public liability cover is included as standard, protecting you if a visitor or third party is injured or their property is damaged in connection with your chalet. The policy is suitable for freehold and leasehold holiday chalets located on recognised UK parks and resorts and is designed strictly for private use, meaning holiday or short-term letting is not permitted.

Cover can be arranged quickly and easily with fast online quotes and instant policy documents emailed as soon as cover is in place. Quote Monkey has been providing specialist insurance since 2011 and is fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA reference 563348). Flexible annual cover is available, including pro-rata refunds if your circumstances change, allowing you to insure your chalet with clarity, confidence, and a specialist UK provider.

Chalet buildings insurance protects the physical structure of your property against damage caused by fire, storms, flooding, vandalism, theft, and impact. We also include accidental damage as standard, giving you extra reassurance against unexpected incidents like broken windows or structural mishaps.

What Is Chalet Public Liability Insurance?

Chalet public liability insurance provides cover if your property or activities linked to it accidentally cause injury to a third party or damage to their belongings. This may include visitors, neighbouring owners, maintenance contractors, or members of the public.
