Common Questions
What does hotel insurance cost in New Jersey?
Pricing depends on location, construction, occupancy, amenities like pools and bars, and loss history. Shore properties and properties with liquor service typically pay more. We review your current program and quote across multiple carriers to find the right fit.
Do I need separate flood insurance for my hotel?
Standard property policies exclude flood. If your property is near the coast or a waterway, a separate commercial flood policy is strongly recommended — and often required by lenders.
Can you insure independent hotels and motels, not just franchises?
Yes. We work with independent hotels, motels, boutique properties, and small hospitality groups, as well as flagged properties that must meet franchise insurance requirements.
