Fremont STR registrations typically require proof of at least 1 million dollars in liability insurance covering short-term rental activity, either host-provided or platform-provided.
Fremont Municipal Code STR registration requires operators to carry liability insurance covering the short-term rental use, typically with minimum limits of 1 million dollars per occurrence. Coverage may be satisfied through a standalone home-share endorsement on a homeowner policy, a commercial short-term rental policy, or platform-provided coverage such as Airbnb AirCover or VRBO Liability Insurance. Standard homeowner HO-3 policies often exclude commercial rental activity, so an endorsement or separate policy is usually needed. Proof of insurance must be submitted at registration and at annual renewal, showing the property address and active short-term rental coverage. Claims history and coverage lapses can affect renewal eligibility. Operators should also carry contents coverage for furnishings and consider loss-of-income coverage.
