# What Does Inland Marine Insurance Cover?

Inland marine can cover specific equipment, goods in transit, or installation property; your form and schedule define what is insured.

An equipment floater may schedule tools, a cargo form may cover goods in transit, and an installation floater may protect materials during installation.

Compare the quote’s covered property, schedule, causes of loss, limits, deductible, and exclusions with what you move, store, or install.
