Island living means renting for most of Galveston — six in ten households lease, from Strand lofts to midtown bungalows. Harvey Insurance covers the tenant’s side of hurricane country: your belongings, your liability, your plan B.

Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Galveston is Texas’s renter capital — a majority-lease island of medical-branch staff, port and tourism workers, and students. It’s also the state’s most storm-tested address, where Ike rewrote every insurance conversation. Here’s the tenant’s version: the landlord’s windstorm policy rebuilds the building; your furniture, electronics, and clothes need your own policy — and rising water needs a separate flood policy on top, which on this island is not a suggestion. We write both, with same-day island quotes.

Galveston renters file for exactly what you’d guess: named-storm wind, water in every form, and tourist-district theft.
Island wind claims are a when, not an if. Your policy replaces contents ruined when the envelope fails, and loss-of-use pays for mainland lodging while repairs run.
No renters policy covers rising water — on this island, contents-only flood coverage is the essential companion policy. It’s inexpensive and we quote it together.
Busy seasons bring break-ins to complexes and parked cars alike. Renters coverage follows your belongings island-wide and beyond.
From the Strand to the West End, island renting runs in five zones.
Historic lofts above the island’s oldest storefronts. Character buildings carry character wiring — fire coverage leads.
Medical-branch staff and students fill the East End’s historic rentals. Semester and residency turnover make theft coverage routine.
The island’s workhorse rental stock between Broadway and the Seawall. Wind exposure is universal; inventory accordingly.
Gulf-view complexes with the best breeze and the most weather. Salt air ages everything — replacement-cost contents coverage earns its keep.
Beach-house rentals beyond the Seawall’s protection. Long-term leases out here need the full wind-plus-flood conversation.
