Optional Renters Insurance Coverages from Amica

Amica provides five additional coverages to customize your policy, though availability varies by state. These endorsements expand protection beyond standard coverage limits and exclusions. Contact an agent to confirm which optional coverages you can add to your policy.

Scheduled Personal Property
Protects high-value items like jewelry, art collections or collectibles that standard policies may not fully cover by listing them separately on your policy.
Replacement Cost Coverage
Values your belongings at today's market price rather than their depreciated worth, allowing you to replace stolen or damaged items without paying the difference between original and current value.
Electronics Coverage
Covers electronic devices like laptops, smartphones and tablets from losses not included in your standard policy, such as accidental damage.
Water Backup Coverage
Pays to repair or replace personal property damaged by water from backed-up drains or sump pump failures.
Identity Fraud Coverage
Covers costs like legal fees, lost wages and expenses related to restoring your identity after identity theft.

What Does Amica's Renters Insurance Not Cover?

Amica's renters insurance excludes certain perils and situations from standard coverage, including flood damage, earthquakes, deliberate harm and commercial activities. The following list outlines what your policy won't cover.

    smallBusiness icon
    Business Property and Liability

    Equipment, inventory and liability related to running a business from your rental aren't covered by renters insurance. If you operate a business from home, you'll need separate business insurance or a business property endorsement.

    flood icon
    Natural Disasters

    Your policy won't cover damage you cause on purpose or through serious neglect. Insurance covers accidents and unexpected events, not intentional harm, criminal acts or major maintenance problems you ignored.

    hammer icon
    Intentional or Criminal Acts

    Standard policies exclude flooding and earthquakes due to their catastrophic nature and geographic concentration. You'll need specialized flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers, plus separate earthquake coverage if you live in high-risk areas.
