Bed and Breakfast Insurance

Running a successful bed and breakfast in British Columbia requires wearing many hats, from gracious host to property manager. At InsureLine Alder, conveniently located in Surrey, we know that welcoming guests into your home introduces unique liability and property risks that a standard homeowner's policy simply cannot cover. Managing Directors Gurtaj Bahad (CIP, CAIB) and Michael Puni (Level 2 Insurance Broker) bring over 25 years of combined experience to ensure your guesthouse is fully protected.

As a proud member of the Insurance Brokers Association of British Columbia (IBABC), our dedicated team specializes in robust hospitality coverage tailored directly to the needs of B&B owners. We leverage our daily experience running $10 to $15 million brokerages to fiercely advocate for you. Because we understand the exact intricacies of your commercial liability and structural needs, you can focus on providing exceptional guest experiences rather than worrying about unforeseen property damage or injury claims.

  • Guest slip injuries
  • Structural fire damage
  • Vandalism and theft
  • Commercial liability claims
  • Appliance sudden breakdowns
  • Lost booking income
  • Burst water pipes
  • Food poisoning claims
  • Liquor liability risks
  • Bodily injury claims
  • Workplace injury risks
  • Severe weather damage

Our approach to securing your bed and breakfast begins with an in-depth, personalized discovery session. We conduct a rigorous review of your current policies to achieve early identification of any dangerous coverage gaps. Whether you have added new guest amenities or undergone recent renovations, we examine every detail to determine exactly how your operational changes affect your unique risk profile.

Once we map out your exact needs, we initiate a multi-carrier market quote search. Leveraging our strong relationships with elite vendors like Intact Insurance, Aviva Canada, and Wawanesa Insurance, we shop the entire market on your behalf. We then present you with a crystal-clear quote comparison, rigorously reviewing pricing, coverages, and specific risks so you fully understand your options.

After you select the optimal policy, our team completely manages the finalization and processing. Our service does not stop at issuance; we mandate thorough reviews at every annual renewal. By continuously updating you on your insurance status and constantly advocating for you with underwriters, we ensure your business remains perfectly protected year after year.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my insurance done from them. Gurtaj and Michael went out of their way to help me as my previous insurance brokers got my mom’s insurance messed up. I am glad that I went to them. I highly recommend them if you want any kind of insurance without any hassle.
