Why Inland Marine Insurance Matters More Than You Think
Unlike traditional property insurance, Inland Marine insurance was built specifically for items that don’t stay in one place. If you regularly transport valuable equipment or store items away from your primary business location, this is the coverage you need.
For example, consider a construction company moving a bulldozer from one site to another. If it’s damaged during transport or stolen while parked, Inland Marine insurance steps in where general policies don’t. Without it, you’re exposed to major financial risk every time your equipment leaves your lot.
At Combs & Company, we tailor Inland Marine policies that:
- Cover tools, equipment, and high-value items during transit
- Protect property temporarily stored at locations other than your primary business address
- Offer peace of mind for industries like construction, tech, art, and logistics
- Go beyond the limitations of general liability or commercial property policies

If your business moves, your coverage should move with it—and that’s exactly what our Inland Marine insurance provides.
What’s the Difference Between General Liability and Inland Marine Insurance?
We get this question often—and it’s a crucial distinction to understand. General liability insurance protects you from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury. In contrast, Inland Marine insurance protects your property while it’s being transported or used off-site.
If your equipment is damaged during a move, stolen from a temporary job location, or lost while in transit, general liability won’t cover it—but Inland Marine will. That’s why it’s essential for businesses with mobile tools, specialized equipment, or materials frequently in motion.
Still unsure which coverage fits your business? That’s where we come in. At Combs & Company, we don’t just sell policies—we explain them. Clearly. Confidently. And always with your risk profile in mind.
What Is an Example of an Inland Marine Claim?
Let’s say you own a construction firm and are moving a bulldozer from one project to another. During transit, it’s involved in an accident or stolen from a temporary worksite. In this scenario, your commercial auto or property insurance won’t protect the equipment—but Inland Marine insurance will.
That’s why it’s ideal for:
- Construction and contracting companies
- Installers and repair technicians
- Tech and audiovisual equipment providers
- Art dealers, museums, and galleries
- Logistics and warehousing businesses

At Combs & Company, we evaluate your operations and identify exposure points that could lead to costly losses if left uncovered. Then we build an Inland Marine policy that closes those gaps.

Every business is different, which is why a one-size-fits-all Inland Marine policy just won’t cut it. At Combs & Company, we specialize in tailored insurance solutions that reflect your unique assets, movement patterns, and storage practices.
We consider factors like:
- The type and value of property you transport
- How often it's moved and where it's stored

- Operate confidently knowing your mobile property is covered
- Take on larger projects requiring frequent equipment transport
- Reduce out-of-pocket expenses for equipment loss or damage

FAQs About Inland Marine Insurance
What types of items does Inland Marine insurance cover?
Inland Marine insurance typically covers property that is mobile or frequently transported. This includes construction tools, heavy equipment, electronics, medical devices, art, and materials stored offsite or in temporary locations. If your property doesn’t stay put, it likely qualifies for Inland Marine coverage.
Is Inland Marine insurance only for the construction industry?
No. While it’s commonly used in construction, Inland Marine insurance also benefits industries like healthcare, tech, logistics, fine arts, and more. Any business that moves, ships, installs, or stores valuable property away from a permanent location can benefit.
Do I need Inland Marine insurance if I already have commercial property insurance?
Commercial property insurance generally covers items at your primary business location. If your tools, equipment, or inventory travel or are stored elsewhere, those items may not be protected under your standard policy. Inland Marine insurance fills that gap.
Can Inland Marine insurance be customized for my business?
Absolutely. At Combs & Company, every Inland Marine policy is customized based on your business’s operations, the type of property you handle, how it’s moved, and where it’s stored. We tailor policies to ensure full and relevant coverage.
