Your Belongings Deserve the Best Protection
Protecting your prized possessions goes beyond locking the doors and installing security systems. At Boyd Insurance & Investments, we offer tailored personal property insurance in Florida to ensure your valuables get the best protection they need and deserve. From valuable artwork and jewelry to high-tech gadgets and cherished heirlooms, this coverage gives you the protection and the security you need.
What Is a Personal Property Insurance Policy
A personal property insurance policy is a specialized insurance product designed to protect your valuable belongings against various risks and perils. It provides coverage for items such as furniture, electronics, appliances, jewelry, artwork, collectibles, and more. Unlike standard homeowners or renters insurance, this insurance focuses specifically on the protection of your possessions, ensuring that you are adequately covered in case of damage, loss, theft, or other covered events.
What Are Covered Under Basic Personal Belongings Insurance
Even though your landlord has coverage, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your belongings are part of that coverage. In most cases, a landlord’s insurance policy only covers structural damage to the building or property itself, leaving your items unprotected in case of an accident. Having renters insurance in place ensures that your personal belongings are protected. Typically, a basic renters policy covers the following:
Furniture and Home Furnishings
Sofas, tables, beds, chairs, and other household items.
Electronics and Appliances
Televisions, computers, laptops, smartphones, refrigerators, etc.
Jewelry and Watches
Engagement/wedding rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc.
Artwork and Other Collectibles
Valuable paintings, sculptures, antiques, rare books, stamps, etc.
Clothing and Accessories
Designer clothing, shoes, handbags, and other accessories.
Sports Equipment
Golf clubs, bicycles, snowboards, and other sporting gear.
Musical Instruments
Guitars, pianos, drums, violins, and other musical instruments.
Firearms
Guns, ammo, and other firearm-related equipment.

Is Personal Property Insurance Required in Florida?
In the state of Florida, personal property insurance is not legally required by the state government. However, protecting your valuable belongings from unforeseen events and potential financial losses is highly recommended. Homeowners insurance policies typically include some coverage for personal property, but these coverage limits may not be sufficient for high-value items or specialized possessions.
By obtaining a separate personal belongings insurance policy, you can ensure that your belongings receive the best protection and coverage tailored specifically to their value and individual needs. This additional coverage offers you peace of mind and financial security in the event of theft, damage, or loss.
How Much Personal Property Insurance Coverage Do I Need?
Determining the appropriate amount of personal insurance coverage depends on several factors, including the value of your belongings and your individual needs. At Boyd Insurance & Investments, our experienced team will work closely with you to assess the value of your possessions and recommend the right coverage level. We’ve simplified the process into easy steps to help you get the coverage you need:
1
Take Inventory
Start by taking an inventory of your belongings. You can make a list of items such as furniture, electronics, jewelry, artwork, and other valuable possessions. This will give you an idea of what needs to be covered.
2
Assess the Value
Once you have your inventory, assess the value of each item. Consider their replacement cost and sentimental worth. Remember to account for any valuable collections or high-end electronics that may require special coverage.
3
Consider Your Risks
Think about any specific risks associated with your location or lifestyle. Are you in an area prone to natural disasters or theft? Do you have any unique possessions that require additional protection? Understanding your risks will help determine the level of coverage you need.
4

Our experienced team is here to help. We’ll review your inventory, assess your risks, and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your needs. We understand the importance of finding the right balance between adequate coverage and affordability.
