Different Types of Homeowners Insurance
Choosing The Right Policy To Protect Your Investment
When looking for the right homeowners insurance policy, you may be surprised to find that there are many different types of policies available, especially if you are looking for a policy for your first home. Knowing the differences between the various policies can help to ensure that you invest in the right policy that will provide enough protection for your new home. Keep these home insurance basics in mind to ensure that you choose the right policy.
- HO-1 and HO-2 home insurance policies will only provide coverage for damages that are specifically listed on the policy. They will not provide any coverage for damage that is done to personal property within the home.
- HO-3 home insurance policies are the most common type of home insurance and will provide coverage for all types of disasters except what is specifically excluded on the policy. It will also provide protection for personal property that is damaged, but only for specific types of damages that are listed.
- HO-5 home insurance policies will provide the same amount of coverage as HO-3 policies but with expanded personal property coverage. Some insurance companies will not write HO-5 policies, but will offer a rider that can be added to an HO-3 policy to provide additional personal property coverage.
- HO-4 and HO-6 home insurance policies will only provide coverage for personal property, and only for the specific damages that are listed on the policy. HO-4 and HO-6 policies are not traditional policies and are typically used to cover renter’s and condo owners.
