An open perils policy covers all perils and properties unless specifically excluded from the policy. While a named perils policy may be cheaper, it only provides coverage for events (perils) listed in the policy. Inland marine insurance doesn’t provide coverage for owned or rented vehicles.
Marine insurance provides coverage for possessions transported over water. Originally named because it branched off from marine insurance, inland marine insurance covers items while being transported across land or in a temporary location. It does not cover property being transported by air or boat.
