What do you do if your car is broken into and your briefcase, dry cleaning and your favorite guitar are stolen? Can you claim it under your auto insurance? No! You need Off Premises Theft Coverage!

It’s On Your Homeowner’s Insurance

Your personal property is not covered under your car’s insurance policy. One way to cover your belongings is with the Off Premises Theft endorsement.

Off Premises Theft coverage can be added to your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy. It will cover you for theft of  your belongings that are TEMPORARILY away from your home. Examples of this would be property in your vehicle or at a vacation condo or hotel. Let’s say you are on vacation and your camera is stolen from your hotel room. Off Premises Theft could pay for this loss, less your homeowner’s insurance deductible. The limit of coverage is usually 10 percent of the personal property limit on the home policy.

You Need To Ask Your Agent

You will want to ask your insurance agent about the cost to add this endorsement. The endorsement may already be part of your policy. If you would never consider making such a claim, you may be able to remove it and lower your premium.
