Personal Property Insurance


You may be thinking "Ugh...insurance...I'd rather not." Or maybe you clicked on this because you aren't sure what personal property insurance is and why you might need it. Either way, keep reading! 

Insurance jargon can be confusing, so we'll try to make this as easy to understand as possible. "Personal property" includes things that you own. This could include your laptop, cell phone, camera, and other things that you own and travel with. Knowing this, "Personal Property Insurance" is a type of insurance that covers your personal belongings. This insurance could protect you if your items are lost, stolen, or damaged, and it could even help pay for the cost of replacing your items.
