FAQs

Common Questions from Freight Brokers Businesses

Does commercial property cover computers used for freight brokerage?

Yes. Computers, monitors, and office equipment at your business location are covered under commercial property.

What about a home office for a freight broker?

Home offices are typically not adequately covered by homeowner's insurance for business property. A commercial property or BOP policy is recommended even for home-based brokerage operations.

Does commercial property insurance cover flood or earthquake damage?

Standard commercial property policies typically exclude flood and earthquake damage. Separate coverage is available and may be worth considering depending on your location. A licensed agent can help you assess your exposure and find appropriate coverage.

What's the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?

Replacement cost coverage pays what it costs to replace or rebuild damaged property at today's prices, without depreciation. Actual cash value accounts for depreciation, meaning you may receive less for older items or equipment. For most businesses, replacement cost is the preferred option.
