Why You Need Inland Marine Insurance

Arkansans have busy lives, and they spend a lot of time traveling from home to work, school, games, worship, vacation, golfing, hunting camps, and more. And while they travel, they tend to carry a lot of essential “stuff” with them. Some of this “stuff” can be very expensive (not to mention difficult) to replace if it’s lost or stolen.

Should an unfortunate loss occur, do you know if your stuff is covered under your homeowner’s insurance policy? It may not be. That’s where Inland Marine Insurance from Farm Bureau Insurance comes in.
