Right, I'm currently in a bit of a quandry! A couple of months ago, I booked an Airbnb in France for a trip next week. Yesterday I got a message from the owner asking for an "attestation d'assurance villégiature". Went away, Google translate, she seems to be after something to prove that we've got personal liability in case we set fire to the place or something.
Okay, emailed her my BMC insurance documents which include a clause on personal liability. Up to £2,000,000 personal liability for damage to property, including holiday rentals. Job done.
Response: that's not good enough. "The bank requires a French holiday insurance certificate which mentions that the accommodation located at [location] will be well insured from 16 to 23 September 2017 for a vacation rental."
Eh? Is this a thing? What am I supposed to do? I've booked a few places in France before, including Airbnbs, and never heard of anything like this...
