Inland Marine

Insurance for property on the move. Whether you own equipment at a job site, keep supplies away from your location, or haul goods of others, you have property on the move. Inland marine coverage is designed to protect you if covered property is damaged away from your premises.


Property in the course of construction

Contractors never have to decide if they need coverage for installation or buildings under construction because Acuity’s property in the course of construction coverage combines the features of both. This coverage is designed to protect you whether you are building a commercial structure or installing new fixtures in a kitchen.

 

Builders’ risk 

Builders’ risk coverage is easy to understand. It protects the buildings you have under construction. It also pays for materials on your construction site as well as transportation of those goods and materials.

 

Installation coverage

Installation coverage focuses on smaller jobs, such as remodeling projects.  It also pays for materials on your installation site as well as transportation of those goods and materials

 

Contractors’ equipment

Whether your tools and equipment are in your shop, on your truck, or at a job site, you want them covered. Four options are available. We insure scheduled equipment, unscheduled equipment with a value under $2,500, employee tools, and non-owned or rented tools and equipment.  We also include some coverage for borrowed tools and equipment. You can tailor the coverage provided to meet your needs by selecting any or all of the coverages.

 

Cargo

If you haul goods for others or yourself, you need motor truck cargo insurance. Acuity offers three coverage options—owners coverage when you haul for yourself and two other options when you haul for others. 

 

What makes us different?

Acuity offers a wide variety of coverages, from accounts receivable to warehouse legal liability. We have the coverage you need to put your worries aside.
