A Crash Course in Insurance: Personal Articles Policy
What in the world is a personal articles policy?
Well, its specific coverage for things like Guns, Tractors, Jewelry, Tools, Collectibles, Instruments, Sports Equipment, Silverware, Horse Saddlery and Taxidermy…….just to name a few!
These specific named items are covered with no deductible, anywhere in the world with broader coverage and fewer limitations than other more common options. A personal articles policy allows you to pick those specific items that are dear to you, or those belongings of higher value or even possessions that have some uniqueness that you would like to have protected. Below are a few examples of how applicable a personal articles policy can be, and how it might be something to consider.
Example #1 – Mr. Sportsman has a beautiful collection of firearms that not only travel to and from the range and the hunting ranch, but also travel internationally on hunting excursions. All those beauties are covered with a personal articles policy and a very reasonable monthly rate!
Gun Collection = $15,000 Value
$0 Deductible $8/Month Premium
Example #2 – Mrs. Betrothed is wearing an incredible engagement ring that was gifted down from her fiancé’s grandmother. This incredible occasion and beautiful ring are all covered, and this new family is getting started by making some great financial decisions!
Jewelry = $25,000 Value
