Insurance Policies You Never Knew Existed

Wedding Insurance

When you are planning a wedding a bevy of emotions will overtake you. You will be nervous, stressed, and emotional, all while being filled with affection for your partner. You can relieve some of the financial stress of having a wedding by purchasing a wedding insurance policy. Wedding insurance is designed to assist with financial damages that may occur if there is an unexpected interruption with the planned date. Most policies define this as a natural disaster or a personal tragedy. Wedding insurance policies also have the option or liability protection. In other words, if the location does not have alcohol liability coverage or if severe weather gets in the way of your outdoor ceremony. Insurers like Allstate will even go as far as offering a couple honeymoon insurance.

Cold Feet Insurance

Cold feet insurance is meant to provide financial safety to the costs of a wedding if the bride or groom gets cold feet and decide they no longer want to get married. The technicalities of this coverage are that the wedding must be called off one year in advance and only the parents of the former couple will be reimbursed, no the couple who split.

Alien Abduction Insurance

Yes, believe it or not, there are companies that sell alien abduction insurance to those who are afraid their nightmares may turn real. A UK-based insurer has been able to sell over 30,000 policies across Europe. Premium or this type of insurance can be as high as $150 per month for a $1.5 million dollar coverage option. The biggest issue you may run into is that in order for you to be covered, you must show proof of alien life — which may be quite difficult to obtain.

Lottery Insurance

We have all thrown a few bucks in the office lottery ticket pool. The insurance that is offered in the United Kingdom protects businesses in the event that all of their employees win the lottery and decide they’re ready to retire.    

Multiple Birth Insurance

When you’re expecting a baby, you will be overcome with the anticipation of a son or daughter; but what happens when you it turns out twins or more are on the way? Well, that’s where this policy kicks in. Multiple birth insurance is to be purchased upon pregnancy. The policy is designed to compensate couples for the birth of an unexpected baby, aiding with the cost that comes along with it.

Bed Bug Insurance

If you are renting or own a home, you may have a pretty detailed policy for renters or homeowners insurance. One thing that those policies do not cover is bed bugs. Bed bugs will infest your home quicker than you can imagine, feasting on your skin as you sleep. Hiring an exterminator to rid your home of the bed bugs can be costly. Bed bug insurance will cover the cost and protect you from unwanted house guests.

Food Truck Insurance

Food truck insurance is different from restaurant insurance. Food truck insurance policies protect food trucks from disasters, like their truck bursting into flames, and it protects the owner from liabilities like foodborne illness and personal injury.
