What people are putting up with today
-
Standard short-term rental insurance is built for property owners, and at least one major policy names the exact arrangement it won't cover: a tenant leasing a home and then sub-leasing it short-term.
-
A rent-to-rent operator's own landlord or tenant insurance routinely excludes short-term guests altogether, so a claim can fall through every policy an operator already holds.
-
With fixed rent due every month regardless of bookings, most arbitrage operations only turn a profit above 55-60% occupancy — leaving no room to absorb an uncovered claim on top of that.
How Subcover works
Subcover is an insurance broker built for operators who lease a property and then sublet it short-term — the exact arrangement at least one major short-term-rental insurer names as excluded, rather than owners. An operator describes their property and sub-lease arrangement once, and Subcover places cover from a panel of insurers willing to write it.
-
01
Describe your sub-lease arrangement — the property, the head-lease terms, and how you're renting it out short-term.
-
02
Subcover checks it against a panel of insurers who write cover for non-owner sub-lease operators, not just property owners.
-
03
Get a quote back and bind cover before your first booking, instead of finding out the gap exists after a claim.
