The policy also includes additional coverages for debris removal, preservation of property, fire department service charges and pollution clean-up and removal. Optional coverages like replacement cost, agreed value and inflation guard are also available. Property coverage can be further enhanced when included as part of a CPP.

COMMERCIAL INLAND MARINE

Builders Best Inland Marine policy is a specialized series of coverages suited to the more individualized needs of certain builders. It covers the contractors for loss of tools, machinery and equipment, fine arts, signs, scheduled property, accounts receivable and valuable papers and records. Also available is electronic data processing coverage, including extra expense and loss of income coverage.
