Inland Marine Insurance FAQs

Why do I need an inland marine insurance policy?

Inland marine fills the gaps of standard business insurance policies. You may need an inland marine policy if you do any of the following

  • Your business transports goods: When you transport goods, they face risks that standard property insurance does not cover. A clothing retailer could, for example, ship inventory from a warehouse to different store locations.
  • You have equipment at different sites: Tools and equipment that are frequently being transported between locations also see a variety of risk from theft to damage. Construction companies often must move heavy machinery and tools between construction sites, which an inland marine policy could help cover.
  • You store items off-site: Inland marine insurance can cover property and goods stored outside your main business address. Even if you have property insurance, that doesn’t mean it covers goods outside the main premises. Manufacturing companies that keep raw materials in a secondary storage location before distribution would need this coverage.

Contractors, trucking companies, Offices, manufacturers, retail stores, wholesalers and distributors, services businesses, restaurants, auto repair shops, landlord and rental properties.

The cost of general liability insurance depends on several factors, including your location, the number of employees, and the level of risk your business faces.
