Bailee's Coverage
Bailee's coverage is a type of insurance that provides protection for businesses that temporarily hold or store goods for others. This type of insurance is often used by businesses that provide storage or warehousing services, such as self-storage facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Bailee's coverage typically covers the physical loss or damage to the goods being stored, as well as any legal liability for loss or damage caused by the insured's negligence.
The term "bailee" refers to a person or business that holds goods for another person or business. In the context of insurance, a bailee is typically a business that provides storage or warehousing services and is responsible for the care and custody of the goods being stored. The bailee is required to take reasonable care to protect the goods from loss or damage while they are in the bailee's possession.
Bailee's coverage and personal property of others coverage are similar in that they both protect businesses against loss or damage to the personal property of others that is in the business's care, custody, or control. However, personal property of others coverage typically has a fixed limit, such as $200,000, which is the maximum amount of protection provided by the policy. In contrast, bailee's coverage does not have a fixed limit as the value of the property left in the care of the business can fluctuate.
Businesses that may benefit from bailee's coverage include:
- Self-storage facilities, which provide storage space for individuals or businesses to store their belongings. These facilities often have a large number of units, and may store a wide variety of goods, including household items, business inventory, and more.
- Warehousing and storage, which provide storage space for a variety of goods, and may specialize in storing specific types of goods, such as hazardous materials or perishable items.
- Distribution centers where goods are received, sorted, and then shipped out to other locations. These centers often have a large amount of storage space for the goods they handle.
- Manufacturing companies may also use warehouses or other storage facilities to hold raw materials, finished products, or both.
- Retail stores often have a warehouse or storage area where they keep inventory that is not currently on the sales floor.
- Wholesale businesses often have large warehouses where they store inventory that they will later sell to retailers.
- Transportation and logistics companies may also store goods in a warehouse or other storage facility while they are being transported from one location to another.
