Key Differences in Inland Marine Insurance

Trades Jobsites Versus Robotics Demos

Kinro and Risklytics both broker rather than underwrite. Kinro’s inland marine page is built around contractors, lawn care, plumbers and electricians with tools left at jobsites. Risklytics frames Equipment (Inland Marine) as the robotics-specific line: demo units damaged at a customer warehouse or robots stolen in crates, not injury to bystanders (that would be general liability). 4 8 5

Schedules, Serial Numbers and Replacement Cost

Kinro’s quote file asks for tool and equipment values, schedules, serial numbers, storage locations and loss history. Risklytics says buyers typically need the cover the first time a unit leaves the building, that pilot agreements and site owners require it for gear left on site, and that the typical ask is each unit listed at replacement cost rather than one blanket dollar figure. 4 8

Online Bind Path Versus Combined Account Review

Risklytics starts this line online, says there is no broker fee on top of premium, and that a licensed producer stays on the file until bind. Kinro often reviews inland marine together with general liability, commercial auto and a BOP, without describing an online bind or a no-fee structure. Kinro’s page does not publish limits; Risklytics describes listing method, not a published dollar cap. 9 4

What to Confirm in Inland Marine Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Risklytics for a unit-level replacement-cost schedule and the robotics-willing insurer. 8
  • Ask Kinro for serial-numbered tool lists and overnight storage conditions. 4
  • Confirm Risklytics’ fee description on the inland marine invoice. 9
  • Confirm whether Kinro will quote inland marine only or with GL, auto and BOP. 4

Coverage Features
