Homeowners Insurance
Your home is an important investment – protect it from damage, mishaps, and other unfortunate events with Hawaii homeowners insurance coverage from DTRIC.
What is Homeowners Insurance?
A homeowners insurance policy consists of two major components: Property Protection and Liability Protection. Homeowners insurance provides added protection for your home, family, and personal property from financial losses or liability as a result of events outlined in your policy.
Property Protection insures your home and property from certain natural disasters and perils such as fire, storms, theft and vandalism. It also protects your personal property while you are away from home. For example, if you are on vacation in Europe and your camera and clothes are stolen, those items are covered since they are considered personal property.
Liability Protection insures you if someone is injured on your property. For example, if a guest is hurt as a result of a fall in your home and files a lawsuit, your policy provides coverage for defense costs, liability claims, and medical expenses.
BASIC HOMEOWNERS COVERAGES AND HOW THEY WORK:

Equipment Breakdown
Many of today’s homes contain modern-day conveniences that provide homeowners with added comfort and safety. But some essential equipment, such as computers, cooling systems, and home appliances, are often prone to mechanical and/or electrical breakdown and most homeowners’ policies exclude these types of losses. To help you protect your investments, we offer our homeowner policyholders DTRIC’s Equipment Breakdown (DEB) coverage at no additional cost.
