Inland Marine Coverage
Do you have property used in your business that is routinely located off-site? When you’re working offsite, your business owner’s policy doesn’t always cover your tools, equipment and computers.
What is covered? Common items covered by an inland marine policy include:
- Computers & computer systems
- Tools and equipment for artisan contractors – from mobile equipment to hand tools
- Fine Art Dealers & Galleries – covers fine art and tools & equipment used in conjunction with fine art
- Camera equipment – photographers
- Motor Truck Cargo – covers the goods being carried by an insured trucker
- Transportation Form – covers goods shipped by or to an insured via common carrier
- Pet Groomers – covers their equipment, especially for those with mobile operations
- Veterinarians – covers their equipment, especially when portable in nature
- Vending Machine Form – used to cover vending machines (does not include contents)
- Dealers Service Form – covers equipment used by servicing contractors / installers such as appliances, flooring, plumbers, etc.
Business contents, equipment and tools that move from location to location need this coverage. Remember that most contents coverage is location-specific, so you should discuss coverage with your agent for anything that goes off your business premises.
