Common Insurance Policies for Hotels, Pubs & Taverns

That’s where we can help. After getting to know your business and your budget, we’ll weigh up all the risks and your unique business situation and suggest policies tailored to your venue. Below are some of the different types of insurance you need to consider for your Hotel, Pub or Tavern.

Are you covered?

Hotels, Pubs & Taverns Insurance FAQs

What types of insurance should Hotels, Pubs and Taverns take out?

The most common types of hospitality insurance are Public Liability, Product Liability, and Business Insurance which can cover your premises, your contents, any machinery and equipment breakdowns, business interruption, glass, and money (if cash is stolen, lost or damaged somehow).

I employ a lot of casual employees in my venue, do I need to take out worker’s compensation for them?

You must have workers’ compensation insurance for anyone you employ at your venue including full-time workers on a wage or salary, part-time, casual, and seasonal workers. This is one of the most important types of insurance hospitality businesses should invest in.

If I need to make an insurance claim for my venue, how do I do it?

In the event you need to make a claim, get in touch with your Phoenix Insurance Broker and we’ll guide you from there. Remember that we work for you, not the insurance company. Whether you need advice, you need to make a claim on your restaurant insurance or change your policy, your Phoenix Broker will take care of all your restaurant insurance needs.

Can I make changes to my insurance policy?

Yes, you can make changes to your insurance policy. If things change, like your address, or your venue grows and you employ more staff, and you want to make sure your insurance still covers you, simply call your Phoenix Insurance Broker on (08) 9367 7399 or email us at info@phoenixins.com.au.

How do I renew my insurance policy/ies?

Your insurance renewal offer will be sent to you prior to the renewal date. Once you are happy with the details (taking into account any changes in cover and price), all you’ll need to do is pay your renewal by the due date. Your Phoenix Broker is there to discuss with you at any stage of the renewal process.

Can I spread my insurance premiums out or do I need to pay annually?

It’s up to you! Your Phoenix Insurance Broker can work with you to not only bundle your insurance policies into a package that’s tailored to your requirements, but they can also help you to manage your premiums by showing you how you can pay them monthly to assist with cash flow or if you prefer, paying them annually.

How do I contact you regarding hospitality insurance?

For all your insurance needs and questions, contact us on (08) 9367 7399 or at info@phoenixins.com.au. You can also view our full contact details and locations.

I’m already insured but am worried I might be underinsured. Can Phoenix Insurance Brokers help with this?

Absolutely! Get in touch with our brokers and we can review your current insurance strategy, and if required, adapt your cover and give you peace of mind that your business is properly insured.

We provide hotels, pubs and taverns insurance advice across Australia

Opening your own licensed venue is the realisation of a long-held dream for some.

Whether you’re a talented bartender or your skills lie in welcoming patrons to your establishment, you’re likely to have people coming and going, and often at a fast pace.

Sifting through the myriad of insurance policies on the market and knowing what insurances you need can be a minefield. That’s when an experienced insurance broker who can guide you through the maze and explain the pros and cons of insurance can be very helpful.

However you choose to run your business, one thing is certain – hospitality business insurance is essential to cover you if and when the unexpected happens. When you’re in the hospitality industry and you’re dealing with the public, this tends to be a certainty rather than a maybe.

Whether your venue is large or small, there’s a host of insurance policies on the market from which you can choose such as workers’ compensation insurance and products liability insurance. There might also be compulsory insurance such as public liability for example, which landlords usually require you to have – but there are also certain types of insurance you shouldn’t be without if you want to protect your business.

If you operate your business in WA, NT, QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS or SA
– our hospitality insurance brokers can help.
