Liability Cover for Glamping Buildings and Structures

Glamping sites often include both permanent and non-standard structures, such as reception huts, shower blocks, toilet facilities, storage buildings, safari tents, yurts, timber pods, cabins and portable toilet units. These structures can create liability exposure if their condition causes injury or property damage.

At Quote Monkey, liability cover can take into account the buildings and structures that form part of your glamping site, helping protect you financially if a claim arises due to a defect, hazard or incident connected with site facilities.

Possible Example Claims Include

A guest trips on a damaged step outside a pod.

What Type of Glamping Site Can Be Covered?

Our glamping site owner’s liability insurance can be suitable for many different types of UK glamping accommodation, depending on the exact use, guest capacity, access, facilities and features involved. This can include bell tent sites, yurt sites, safari tent sites, glamping pod sites, shepherd hut sites, eco retreats, woodland glamping sites and mixed-use leisure sites.

It can also apply to sites including reception buildings, toilet blocks, shower facilities, communal kitchens, car parks, access tracks, decking, fire pit areas, hot tubs, water features, woodland paths and seasonal or temporary accommodation units, subject to the policy terms and underwriting acceptance.

Policy Ownership – What Name Should the Policy Be In and Why It Matters

The policy should be arranged in the correct legal name of the glamping site owner, operator or ownership body. This helps ensure that, in the event of a claim, the cover reflects the true business, ownership and insurable interest in the site.

Policies can be issued in individual names, joint names, partnership names, company names, trust names and other recognised ownership structures. Interested parties such as landlords, landowners, lenders or other financial interests can also be noted where required.

If the glamping site is operated by one party but the land is owned by another, getting the policy name and any interested parties correct from the outset helps avoid complications later.
