Belize Home Owners Insurance

At RF&G Insurance, our Belize homeowner’s insurance policies are designed to shield your entire property, from the roof overhead to your treasured belongings inside. We offer coverage against a variety of threats, including hurricanes, fires, floods, and even burglaries.

Our customizable plans cater to the unique needs of your homeownership. Whether you own a cozy bungalow or a spacious estate, we have a policy that covers your needs.

Ensure proper coverage for your valuable asset. Since your home is likely your biggest investment, securing it with an RF&G homeowner’s policy is crucial. To guarantee adequate coverage, consider getting a professional appraisal or survey. Remember to include additional structures like pools, fences, patios, or piers in your policy.

Protect Your Belongings

Your home is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s filled with the things that matter most. But have you considered how much it would cost to replace everything inside if disaster struck? Home contents insurance can provide assurance, knowing you’re financially protected from lost, stolen, or damaged belongings.

Before getting a quote, take time to create a detailed list of your possessions. Including everything from furniture and electronics to clothing and sentimental items. Estimate the replacement cost for each item to determine the appropriate level of coverage.

High-value items like jewelry, artwork, or top-of-the-line electronics might require separate coverage under your policy. Standard contents insurance may have limitations on these items.

Document your belongings! Take photos, keep receipts, or gather appraisals for valuable items. This documentation will streamline the claims process if you ever need to file one.

You don’t need building insurance to protect your stuff. Home contents insurance is specifically designed for renters and homeowners who solely want coverage for their possessions.

Know the "Average Clause"

Let’s say the replacement value of your building is $100,000, but you decide to insure only half its value, $50,000. Then a hurricane strikes! Your building is badly damaged and repairs will cost around $50,000, the same amount you insured for. Do you have sufficient coverage?

YOU DO NOT!
Since you only insured your building for half of its value, your claim amount will be reduced to half the amount for the cost of repairs, $25,000.

TIPS:

  • Have an appraisal or survey done on your building to make sure you have an accurate and current valuation of your building
  • If you have a swimming pool, fence, patio, pier or any outside structure, include these as separate items in your valuation
  • Make sure to distinguish between the value of your building and the value of the contents inside
  • If you are not sure that your building is adequately insured, contact us or any one of our Agents countrywide to help you make sure you are fully protected.
