Best Answer

No. If you mean something you borrowed from someone else then no. You cannot insure anything you don't own. The owner of the items can make a claim on their homeowners policy as coverage is extended off premises for up to 10% of the coverage c. This covers you while on vacation, business trips, etc.

What is floater policy in insurance?

The term, "floater" generally refers to a policy that is issued to cover specific, high value items. Ordinarily, a homeowners policy, for example, provides only a fixed and limited amount of coverage for all jewelry, and a lower amount for any particular item of jewelry. If you have an item that is worth more than the item limit of the policy, you can insure it for its full value by insuring it on a floater. You will pay a separate premium for that policy, and it may be issued by a different insurer.
