Inland Marine Insurance
Let’s help protect the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime.
The ultimate add-on
Inland marine insurance is a type of business insurance that helps cover products, materials and equipment while they are transported on land.
Ideally, this coverage is provided as an add-on to your Businessowner’s policy that helps protect business property that is movable, or used for transportation or communication purposes. However, this coverage can also be it’s own stand-alone policy.
It’s important to determine if some of your business dealings fall outside the coverage provided by your existing commercial insurance. For example, you may have coverage through your Businessowners insurance policy for the cameras, lighting and other equipment in your photography studio. However, this equipment may not be covered if it is being shipped to another location for a shoot.
If you are considering inland marine insurance or have questions about whether this coverage makes sense for your business, our agents can help you assess your company’s risks and needs.
Fact:
When away from your premises, tools and equipment are not covered by your Commercial Property policy.
