What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and Travelers Inland Marine Insurance?

Brokered Ocean-and-Inland vs Segment Products Through Agents

Alliance Risk places inland marine for tools, installations, fine arts and jobsite equipment, and ocean marine for cargo, containers, hull and maritime liability. Travelers underwrites inland marine as a family of segment-specific products that can stand alone or complement other industry policies, bought through a Travelers independent agent. Choose Alliance Risk if you need ocean cargo or hull on the same marine placement; choose Travelers if your business fits a named segment such as museums, renewable energy or mobile equipment dealers. ¹ ³

Dealers, Towers and Event Gear vs Jewelers and Importers

Travelers describes cover for computers and electronics, medical diagnostic equipment, party and event equipment, fine art, bridges and radio towers, trade show exhibits, solar panels and wind turbines, plus a dealers product for fire, theft, weather and rental-related incidents. Alliance Risk names contractors, logistics firms, retailers, importers and exporters, and museums, art dealers and jewelers, without a dealers-rental product or bridges and radio towers on its reviewed page. ³ ¹

Sample Premiums vs Unpublished Limits

Alliance Risk publishes illustrative annual premium bands for small-equipment inland marine, ocean cargo and hull. Travelers' reviewed page does not publish limits or deductibles for any inland marine segment. Alliance Risk also lists wear-and-tear, packaging, territory, business income and flood exclusions; Travelers' page does not. ¹ ³
