Insurance for Motels
A motel is a building full of guests around the clock, so your cover is broad. Public liability is essential — a slip in the car park, an injury by the pool, or a guest hurt on the premises can lead to a serious claim. Property and contents cover protects the building, rooms, furnishings and equipment against fire, storm and water damage, and business interruption cover helps replace lost room revenue if a covered event forces you to close. You will also want cover for guests' property and for your commercial kitchen or pool if you have them. With staff cleaning and running reception, workers' compensation is required. Many policies renew around 30 June, so review your building sums insured before the new financial year, particularly after any refurbishment.
Common questions
Motels — insurance questions
What insurance does a motel need?
Public liability for guest injuries, property and contents cover for the building and furnishings, and business interruption cover to replace lost room revenue after a covered event. If you employ cleaning or reception staff, workers' compensation is also required.
Why does business interruption cover matter for a motel?
If a fire, storm or flood forces rooms out of service, you lose income while costs continue, and business interruption cover helps bridge that gap. Cockatoo can match you to a broker who understands accommodation risk so your sums insured reflect peak-season revenue, not just an average.
