| Type of Homeowners Insurance Coverage | What This Coverage Protects... |
|---|---|
| Dwelling | Dwelling coverage should cover the cost it would take to rebuild your home, also known as your home’s replacement cost, in the event it was destroyed. Dwelling can also cover garages and other detached structures on your property. |
| Personal Property Coverage | This covers belongings such as furniture, electronics, clothing, equipment and more if they were damaged. |

Other Types of Property Insurance Coverage
Umbrella Insurance
Umbrella insurance is a way to safeguard yourself and your assets when an accident occurs and you’ve exhausted the limits of your home insurance and auto insurance.
Renters Insurance
Renters insurance typically covers liability and personal property, which can help pay to replace your belongings if they’re stolen or damaged by a covered risk. Many landlords and properties require renters to have rental insurance.
Condo Insurance
While your condo association’s master policy will cover the damage that happens to your condo’s building, grounds or other external features, condo insurance will make sure your personal possessions, appliances and other pieces of the unit are protected.
Flood Insurance
Since flood damage is often not covered under standard home insurance policies, flood insurance will cover direct physical loss from floods and losses resulting from flood-related erosion. It will also help cover the costs of repairs or replacing belongings such as clothing, furniture, electronics and more.
Earthquake Insurance
Since damage from an earthquake isn’t typically covered under home and renters insurance policies, earthquake insurance can cover harm to your house, personal belongings, and additional living expenses (ALE) or loss of use, which are the costs to live somewhere else if you have to evacuate or repair your home as a result of an earthquake.
RV Insurance
RV insurance covers many of the risks auto insurance does, including collision, comprehensive and liability coverage. You can also purchase additional protection for personal belongings on board, equipment and attached accessories such as awnings and satellite dishes.
Boat Insurance
Boat insurance insures your boat against damage and loss caused by common risks such as sinking, fires, storms, theft and collision.
