What is blanket coverage home insurance?
I own a couple of properties. My sister suggested I purchase a blanket policy to make things easier. I’ve heard the term thrown around before, but what is blanket coverage home insurance?

Your sister is right! Blanket coverage can make owning multiple properties easier but it is about 10% more expensive than a standard
home insurance policy
. Generally, blanket insurance differs from other types of insurance because a single coverage limit applies to anything that falls under that blanket of coverage, as long as everything belongs to the same owner. Additionally, blanket coverage home insurance is a property insurance policy that can:
- Cover more than one type of property at the same location
- Cover the same type of property at multiple locations
- Cover multiple kinds of property at multiple locations
Blanket coverage is preferred by those who own multiple properties because there are fewer hoops to jump through when making claims. Unlike a standard policy, there are no sub-limits, such as jewelry coverage up to $1,500.
Overall, blanket insurance coverage is more inclusive. However, if you only need to increase the coverage limits on a few items, like your jewelry collection, it may be easier to maintain individual policies and add riders or endorsements as necessary.
Finally, insurance can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be!
If you’re interested in purchasing a blanket insurance policy, you should give the friendly
