Simple protection for everyday life, unexpected accidents, and major losses

Coverage for belongings like electronics, furniture, clothing, and more—at home and sometimes away from home.

Loss of Use

Helps pay for temporary housing and extra living costs if a covered event makes your rental unlivable.
