Renter’s Insurance

A Renter's or Tenant's policy provides Personal Property coverage together with Liability insurance protection in a single policy. Personal property can be covered on either a named peril basis or open peril basis. Loss of Use/Additional Living Expense is also included. It is extremely important that your personal property be covered for its' full replacement values. This policy typically excludes Flood and Earthquake. Both are available to be purchased either separately or through an addition to your policy.

Liability Coverage provides protection for bodily injury and property damage to third parties resulting from the named insured's negligence. Many insurance carriers will provide this coverage on a worldwide basis.

Our Personal Lines Department is available to assist you with all of your personal insurance needs. In addition to a Renter's or Tenant's policy, we can also assist you with coverage for a vacation home, motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, watercraft or recreational vehicle.
