Choices! You can choose a package that fits your seasonal home or vacation property or create your own customized policy. You choose what fits with your needs. Don't forget, Foremost also offers vacation rental home insurance!
No primary residence requirement
Unlike other companies, Foremost doesn’t require that your primary residence be insured with us in order to insure your seasonal or secondary property.
Comprehensive Property Coverage
This means we cover most direct, sudden and accidental physical losses that aren’t specifically excluded in your policy.
Named Peril Coverage
This means that we cover "perils" (fire, explosion, lightning, windstorm and hail damage) which are specifically named in your policy, subject to policy exclusions and conditions.
Liability Coverage
This provides coverage if you're found legally responsible for an accident that causes injury to someone who doesn't live in your home or causes property damage to another's property.
Actual Cash Value
In the event of a covered loss, this covers the cost to replace or repair your damaged property, with a deduction for depreciation, which reflects the age and condition of your home.
Agreed Loss Settlement
If your home is destroyed by an insured loss, you receive the full amount of agreed upon insurance for your home (minus any applicable deductible). No hassles.
Optional Replacement Cost
Purchase Optional Replacement Cost coverage and get a settlement that reflects the cost to replace the damaged items with new property of comparable material and quality, without any deduction for depreciation.
Extended Replacement Cost
You can receive up to 25% of the insured amount, to replace your home! (not available in all states)
We also offer choices for:
- Replacement Cost coverage on personal property
- Additional coverage for jewelry, watches and furs
- Business property and liability
- High liability limits

"Insurance? I knew absolutely nothing about it, at all. I started looking around and found that there are a lot of companies out there and a lot of information to sort through. So much in fact that I became overwhelmed and didn't know which way was up. Unfortunately, I didn't have a trained advisor guiding me and helping me select the right coverages and ended up paying too much for limited coverage. After my first accident, I found an insurance agent that took me step-by-step through what I needed. What a refreshing experience!"
