Question 9 of 22 in Types Of Coverages Available

I can’t live in my home because of a fire. Will my policy cover the cost of room and board at a hotel or motel?


“Additional living expense” coverage (also called “loss-of-use”) is one of the most important features in a standard policy. This coverage picks up the tab for your hotel costs, restaurant bills, and other additional living expenses when your home is too damaged to live in during repairs. Don’t plan on checking into the Ritz and dining at The Four Seasons, though; chances are that your policy will only pay the difference between your normal living expenses and any additional costs. The limit of coverage varies by company. It may be based on a percentage of total coverage or limited by a specified length of time.
