With all the different types of homeowners insurance, the process of choosing a policy can be confusing.
To help, here’s a basic guide to some major types of insurance policies.
HO-1 insurance is the simplest of policies offered. It only covers your home structure and a few home features.
It also covers attached structures such as garages and patios. This policy offers funding in the case of storms, fire, wind damage, theft and a few other peril categories.
HO-1 insurance doesn’t cover personal belongings, however. So if your computer or furniture is damaged during a storm, replacement cost would need to be covered by another policy.
An HO-2 insurance policy offers a wider range of coverage. It provides financial security to home structure and personal property.
An HO-3 home insurance policy is the most common homeowners insurance type. In addition to coverages seen with HO-1 and HO-2 policies, it covers additional items. These include liability, payments for medical bills and living expense stipends.
HO-4 is a policy offering protection to the personal property of individuals renting a space. It is not technically a homeowners insurance policy, but important for renters to have.
Consider your home needs when purchasing homeowners insurance. Protect your property and belongings with the right insurance.
