Boat Insurance Reno & Las Vegas- More Information:

Insurance is necessary for all boat owners to ensure that they are covered in case of an accident. Policies protect against liability to prevent owners from having to pay out-of-pocket for any damage done by their boat. These policies also provide coverage that will reimburse boat owners for the damage that is done to their boat in case of an accident.

Many people assume that their boat is completely covered under their homeowner’s or auto insurance policy. While these policies may provide limited coverage for watercraft, there are often stringent restrictions that could leave boat owners without any coverage at all. It is important to discuss these policies with an experienced insurance agent to determine whether coverage is adequate for the boat in question.

While most homeowner’s insurance policies do not provide the coverage needed to protect boat owners in case of an accident, bundling a boat insurance policy with an existing homeowner’s insurance policy is an option for saving money. Anyone who is shopping for boat insurance should discuss bundling options with their insurance agent.

The exact coverage that is provided under a boat insurance policy depends on the level of coverage that is selected. Liability coverage will pay out for damage done to other boats, property damage caused by the policyholder’s boat and any bodily injury suffered by another party in relation to an accident involving the policyholder’s boat.

Another type of liability insurance associated with boat insurance is fuel spill liability coverage. This type of coverage will protect the policyholder against liability in case a fuel spill originating from the covered watercraft occurs.

Boat owners can obtain coverage that will pay out for the value of their boat if it is totaled during an accident. Damage coverage also pays for repairs. Salvage coverage pays out if a watercraft sinks and needs to be recovered by a salvage company.

Optional coverage for boats includes towing reimbursement, ice damage coverage and personal property coverage. Policyholders who frequently fish have the option of having their fishing equipment covered under their boat insurance policy.
