Floater Insurance
Overview
Floater Insurance is a versatile insurance policy that provides coverage for multiple items, assets, or family members under a single sum insured. Unlike standard insurance policies that cover individual items or persons separately, a floater policy “floats” the coverage across all insured items or members, offering flexibility, convenience, and cost-efficiency.
Floater Insurance is ideal for families, businesses, or organizations that want to protect multiple assets or individuals with one consolidated policy.

Families seeking coverage for multiple members under a single health or life insurance policy
Homeowners or property owners with multiple assets (jewelry, electronics, furniture)
Businesses protecting multiple similar assets (computers, equipment, inventory)
Individuals seeking flexible coverage without purchasing multiple separate policies

Floater Insurance can be tailored to cover a wide range of risks:
