Hotel/Motel Insurance
Allstar Financial Group’s Hotel/Motel Insurance program simplifies placing hospitality risks for independent agents and brokers. As a Managing General Underwriter and Excess & Surplus Lines Broker, Allstar combines flexible underwriting with broad market access so you can quote and bind policies quickly for a range of hotel and motel operations. Through our Small Business Solutions division we offer both admitted and non-admitted options via multiple carrier partners to fit standard and harder-to-place accounts.
Whether the client runs a small roadside motel or a mid-size boutique hotel, our program provides tailored solutions for property, general liability, liquor liability, and umbrella exposures. Our underwriters work with you to structure terms and endorsements that match the client’s operations and risk profile.
Ideal Accounts and Risk Appetite
We write a broad range of hospitality businesses, including:
- Independent hotels and motels
- Franchise-brand properties
- Extended-stay and budget lodging
We will also consider related risk types such as habitational properties, contractor exposures on-site, office/retail components, vacant buildings, and larger wholesale or institutional properties when they fit the program criteria.
Typical fits: a 40-room roadside motel seeking improved liability limits and umbrella protection, or a boutique hotel that needs property enhancement options and liquor liability coverage. Accounts with high TIVs, unusual operations, or significant prior loss activity may require additional underwriting review.
