Owning a guesthouse or B&B can be good business and can also be a fulfilling way of life - but it's not without its challenges. Santam knows how important it is to give your guests the best accommodation experience possible. We also understand the potential risks your business faces that could impact your guests’ experience, that’s why we offer tailored guesthouse insurance to help you mitigate those risks.
As South Africa’s leading short-term insurer, with expertise in developing solutions for your industry, Santam understands your business’s potential risk exposures and offers customised insurance for your B&B or guesthouse to help you mitigate those risks.
Get comprehensive cover for buildings, private dwellings and building contents. We cover a wide range of risks including subsistence and landslip, damage to garden and water features, deterioration of food, and employee and guest belongings.
Whether money is kept on your premises or you need to transport it to the bank, we have the cover for you.
Full and limited vehicle cover options that extend to cars, bakkies, trailers, caravans, and motorcycles are available. Additional insurance such as emergency accommodation, emergency medical costs, and trauma are included at no additional cost.
As a business owner, you know there’s a lot that can go wrong during day-to-day operations. Our liability insurance provides cover if you or an employee cause damage to someone else’s property, if you are held liable for a third-party injury or death as well as other risks.
If your business is not operating, you’re not earning. If your guesthouse or B&B experiences prolonged interruption, unexpected expenses or reduced income due to armed robbery, cancellation, suspension of liquor license, and other risks, we’ve got you covered.
Get additional top-up cover on your standard liability policy for reassurance that your guesthouse or B&B is fully protected against every eventuality.

In times of crisis, we’re here for you. Santam’s cover gives you access to our business partner, Europ Assistance, and provides free medical advice, emergency medical transport and a crisis line.
