Option 2 – Flexible Coverage

Named Peril Coverage
The policy covers those causes of loss listed by name in the policy documents (fire, lighting, wind, hail, explosion, and others). It covers the essentials, but not everything.
Actual Cash Value Settlement
Losses are settled for the actual cash value (ACV), which takes depreciation into account. In many states we offer upgrades to full repair cost coverage or replacement cost coverage.
Quick Comparison
-
The DP-3 program covers a much wider list of causes of loss than the DP-1 program.
-
The DP-3 program’s loss settlement valuation is based on the home’s replacement cost.
-
The DP-1 program takes depreciation into account. These programs are not intended for a residence in lived in part-time and rented out part-time, or for a part-time condominium or apartment. Tenants should be encouraged to purchase renters insurance to protect personal property and liability exposure.
