What is Floater Insurance?
This is something you may have never heard about before but I can tell you if you like your personal property it is something you should consider getting.
When getting home content insurance for your home you may have items like a fur coat or an expensive diamond ring, it will cover these items up to a certain amount.
(around $1,000 for jewelry and furs, around $2,000 for your firearms, and around $2,500 for your china) If you experience a fire in the basement of your house and it destroys a computer, or exercise equipment your insurance will only cover a portion of what may be lost.
This is where you would want to get a floater insurance to cover those items to a greater extent.
It will typically cover things like stamp or coin collections, china, camcorders and cameras, or works of art.
Your best bet if you own something of value and are not sure if it is covered it is best to contact your insurance broker and find out.
This will give you a little bit of piece of mind when you have things that are hard to put a monetary value on.
I understand that if your Great Grandma's prized coin collection is lost it would be hard to cope with, but would you rather get something out of it or nothing at all? I know I would rather at least get something out of it in the end.
So floater insurance will basically supplement your coverage for items that are of much higher monetary value.
Even if you have a limit on your home content insurance with floater insurance it will cover things such as a engagement ring or your grandmothers pearl earrings.
If you feel that your property will be adequately covered by your basic home insurance then you may have no need for floater insurance.
However if you have a nice stamp collection or a few pieces of expensive art then you may want to consider it incase something does happen.
In the end something's are hard to put a monetary value on but it is better to get something good out of tragedy then nothing at all.
