Understanding Contents Coverage Limitations & Exclusions What is Contents Coverage? Contents coverage is also referred to as Coverage C (this is how it’s shown on your homeowners insurance policy) or personal property coverage and is included in our base homeowners insurance policies (home, condo, or renters). Coverage C provides coverage for typical household items such as furniture, television sets, and clothing. Are there any Contents Coverage Limitations and Exclusions? You may own specific types of contents (personal property) that are not covered by the standard contents coverage listed on your policy or there may be coverage limits on the amount that will be paid to repair or replace certain items. For instance, jewelry is covered under your policy, however the amount paid will be limited to $1,000 per item or up to $10,000 for multiple items when there is a loss. It’s important that you are aware of the coverage limitations and exclusions in your policy and the optional coverage that’s available for purchase. The table below shows commonly owned personal property and the limitations and exclusions that apply. We’ve also noted when optional coverage is available. Please note that this is not an inclusive list and other coverage limitations and exclusions may apply.

This means that if your personal property is lost, stolen, or damaged by a covered loss, your items will be valued using the current market pricing of items that are brand new. Without this coverage, items are valued at their depreciated value, which can be far less than the amount you would pay to replace the item new.
