Secondary Suite, AirBnB home insurance?

[cidley69]

Considering buying a house that has a suite above detached garage. Was thinking of renting it out short term when it's convenient.

My current insurance company Allstate says a 2nd suite at primary residence will void insurance, and they don't cover secondary suites.

Anyone have an AirBnB, what insurance company do you use? What the cost to insure suite?

just pm'd you the company I used for airbnb insurance when allstate said no. We did a full house so not sure about the suite thing, but you can ask them.

Non airbnb secondary suite and insurance is costly but its a business expense and I'd rather be fully covered than not.
