Every business has unique needs, which is why Kovalev Insurance Agency’s Inland Marine Insurance offers varying deductibles and limits.

Inland marine insurance includes a deductible, which signifies the money you disburse upfront for a claim covered by the policy. The deductible is mentioned in your policy, and when you acquire coverage, you have the flexibility to choose a deductible that aligns with your business's financial comfort.

If your business property gets damaged in a covered claim, the reimbursement might be on an actual cash value basis or a replacement cost basis. Under an actual cash value policy, the depreciated value of the damaged property is reimbursed. Conversely, with replacement cost coverage, you receive reimbursement for the current market cost to replace the damaged property. To understand the reimbursement method under your inland marine policy, it's recommended to review your policy carefully or consult your agent.

Lastly, it's crucial to opt for coverage limits that truthfully represent your movable business property's value. Certain inland marine policies incorporate a coinsurance clause that could result in penalties if you submit a claim surpassing the coverage limits by a specified percentage.

However, this coverage may not extend if these items are transported elsewhere for a photoshoot. Should an accident or theft occur during transit, inland marine insurance would come in handy to bridge this coverage gap.
