ShareCover Holiday Rental Insurance FAQs

Can I cover part of my home?

Yes, with ShareCover you can choose an amount of cover that only includes the area you rent out, instead of your whole home and everything in it.

Are payments tax deductible?

Your premiums might be tax deductible when you let relevant tax authorities know about your rental income. Please seek independent financial or tax advice from a licensed professional such as an accountant.

How much does ShareCover cost?

The average cost of a policy is less than $8 a night, depending on how much cover you choose.

Every property is different and prices change based on a lot of different factors. The quickest way to find out how much you’ll pay is to get a quote.
