National context — Contractors Tools & Equipment (Inland Marine) insurance overview
Median small-business Inland Marine premium — the canonical product for contractors' tools, equipment, and materials in transit or on job sites — is $48/month ($576/year) for a typical $50K blanket Tools & Equipment Floater per Insureon's 2024 cost report. Cost scales roughly linearly with coverage limit: $10K limit ~$25/mo, $100K ~$95/mo, $250K ~$220/mo.
Why contractors need this: Commercial Property covers buildings + permanent improvements at a fixed location; General Liability covers third-party bodily-injury + property damage. Neither covers your own tools, equipment, and materials when they're on a job site, in your truck, in transit, or at a temporary location. That gap is exactly what Inland Marine / Tools & Equipment Floater fills. Loss of a $40K mini-excavator from a job site overnight = uncovered without this policy.
Settlement type matters. Actual Cash Value (ACV) is depreciated value — a 5-year-old $30K skid steer might pay out $12K. Replacement Cost (RC) pays the cost to buy new of like-kind quality, typically 5-15% premium uplift but materially better recovery. Specify RC at quote.
