The Best Insurance for B&B
The Wister Insurance Agency is the nation's most experienced B&B insurance coverage program. They have pioneered the modern B&B insurance policy, which consists of four coverage areas: building(s), contents, income, and liability. These four coverage areas are crucial to protect your B&B from any potential risks and losses. Wister Insurance Agency understands the value of your B&B property to the industry and the challenges related to insuring them. That is why they offer customized comprehensive coverage and services that are specifically designed to suit your insurance needs.
When you own a B&B, you are opening yourself up for business commercial liability claims. The primary liability exposure in life is driving your car, and auto insurance is vital. Homeowners insurance is also crucial. Then we ask, what is your #2 liability exposure in life? The answer is, when you open your home to guests, you have now crossed into the world of complicated law and legal terms such as 'reasonable care' and 'assumption of risk.' Wister Insurance Agency has over 100 years of personal service and public insurance experience, which means they have seen and defended virtually every liability claim conceivable that a hospitality business needs. This includes standard slip and fall, drownings, equine and bicycle accidents, invasion of privacy, assault and battery, and much more. Their experience is your ally in making certain that your B&B insurance is sufficient.
One policy covers both public liability insurance and personal use of your B&B. In the past, many owners were forced to manage commercial property insurance and personal policy. B&B insurance does not fit into one category as the guests pose a business risk, while the owners fall under personal risk. Wister Insurance Agency allows you to manage the protection with one policy.
Many owners are unaware of the difference between the two major insurance forms: the special form (all-risk or exclusion-based) and the basic or broad form (named perils). The coverage forms are the foundation of every insurance policy, and what is included matters.
Named Perils insurance contract will 'name' or list what is covered with a named perils form. There are two types: basic and broad. Basic names 11 offer fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or hail, smoke, aircraft or vehicle collisions, riot or civil commotion, vandalism, sprinkler leakage, sinkhole collapse, or volcanic action. Broad names everything basic does but adds four more - falling objects, the weight of snow/ice/sleet, water damage in the form of leakage, and collapse from specified causes. If your location has a peril and you file an insurance claim for anything not named above, there would be no coverage. Most B&B owners feel this is a comprehensive insurance list, but the reality is it can be misleading.
Replacement cost valuation insurance is crucial for every B&B owner. This means 'new for old, without a calculation on depreciation in the event of a loss. A great example and common claim would be hail damage to your roof. Assuming total damage to your roof, even if it is 15 years old, with replacement cost, you would be covered for the full replacement of your roof. This same example with actual value insurance would not pay for the full roof. It would calculate the 15-year depreciation, then pay you the difference.
As a Bed and Breakfast (B&B) owner, you know that you are in the hospitality industry and that your guests have different needs and expectations. You also know that running a B&B is more than just a business; it is a passion, a lifestyle, and a way of life. However, being a B&B owner also means that you have to be aware of the risks that come with operating a hospitality business. Therefore, it is crucial to have the best insurance coverage for your B&B.
