Request for information about insurance companies that offer home content insurance for home exchanges

A member in England is having problems finding an insurer for his contents during a home exchange. We would like to build a database of companies that offer content insurance for home exchangers. Please comment to this blog with a company name, country, company website and/or company phone number.

In general, your insurance policy may cover some situations, but be sure to check with your agent about your particular coverage. Usually home owner's insurance remains in force to cover guests in your home, and because no financial transaction is involved, your exchange partners are your guests. However, you should advise your insurers that guests will be staying in your home and the duration of their stay. Sometimes there is a limit of 30 days, but this is the only restriction we have come across.
