When you arrive, the holiday property owner (or their manager/caretaker) may request to see documentary proof that the members of your party have the necessary personal Liability cover. Note that this is not a whim or preference on their part, it is a statutory requirement in French law.
This should be provided for
ALL members of the group who are to reside in the property.
Whatever the insurance supplier, they should be able to provide a summary of the cover (despite some companies attempts to be as "occult" as possible - if you don't know what you're covered for you are less likely to make a claim). The documentary evidence of the cover that you need to provide should include the following:
- The contact details, name, address, of the company providing the insurance.
- The policy number or reference number that identifies you with them.
- The names of those covered by the policy, and/or the extent of family members that are covered by the policy.
- An extract from the policy summary or terms which shows that personal liability cover is included in the policy.
You can delete any information that you consider to be of a private nature.
The arrival instructions that you will receive have the owners' contact details, including an e-mail address where available. For simplicity, you can therefore send your insurance details to the owner beforehand:
- scanned documents sent by e-mail, or
- electronic documents received from Internet sent by e-mail, or
- photocopies sent by post (If you have a substantial booklet, just photocopy the relevant pages).
Please ensure that these details do show the necessary information (or for an electronic version, a link to the terms of the cover).
NOTE: For properties Les Tamaris, La Fontaine, La Nature, you will be posting the Security Deposit to the owners beforehand so you can include the insurance details at the same time.
