What St. Petersburg Mobile Home Insurance Covers

There's more to cover than just your dwelling. Our policies offer:

  • Replacement cost dwelling coverage. Most mobile home insurance policies only offer actual cash value coverage for the dwelling. We only offer replacement cost coverage so you can buy a new home when a covered loss destroys it.
  • Other structures coverage. This helps you rebuild structures on your property other than your dwelling, such as a fence, carport, shed, etc.
  • Personal property coverage. If your clothes, appliances, furniture, or furnishings are damaged, this can help you replace them.
  • Loss of use coverage. When a covered claim forces you to temporarily relocate, this can help pay for a hotel stay, food, and more.
  • Personal liability coverage. No one thinks they’ll get sued, but it happens more often than you may realize. This can help cover legal fees if you’re sued over someone’s bodily injuries or property damage.
  • Medical payments coverage. This can help cover minor visitor injuries that happen on your property.

Mobile home insurance covers basic causes of loss, such as theft, vandalism, wind damage, and fire.

With Kin, your mobile home policy also includes hurricane insurance that pays for damage caused by high hurricane winds. You can also add a flood insurance endorsement. This option is much cheaper and offers more protection than the coverage offered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
