Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.

Coverage for the Things That Don’t Fit a Standard Policy

Texas is an outdoor state — boats on Lake Travis and Lake Conroe, RVs heading to Big Bend, motorcycles cruising Hill Country roads, fishing rigs along the coast. Standard home and auto policies cover some of this thinly or not at all. Specialty insurance fills the gaps with policies built for the specific item and how you actually use it. Harvey Insurance has been writing specialty coverage for Texans for years. Give us a call and we’ll walk through what fits.

What’s Covered

Specialty Insurance Coverage Details

We work with carriers that specialize in recreational and specialty vehicles — so you get the right coverage, not a modified standard policy that leaves you underinsured.

Across Texas

What we cover under specialty insurance

A few of the most common Texas specialty needs:

Watercraft

Boats & PWCs

From bass boats on East Texas lakes to offshore rigs out of Galveston, watercraft coverage handles physical damage, liability, and salvage. Different waters, different policy considerations.

Motorhomes & Trailers

RVs

RVs are a serious investment and they live somewhere between a vehicle and a residence from a coverage perspective. We help Texas RV owners get the right structure.

Motorcycles & Beyond

Personal Items

Motorcycles, classic cars, jewelry, fine art, and collectibles all benefit from policies designed specifically for them. Standard home or auto often falls short on valuation and use.

Valuables

Jewelry, fine art & collectibles

Not everything specialty has an engine. A ring, a canvas or a case of graded cards belongs in the same conversation as the boat and the collector car, for the same reason: its worth has to be established rather than looked up, and the time to do that is before anything happens to it.

Valuation

Establishing the figure

An appraisal, a receipt, an auction result, or documented provenance. Items like these have no book value to look up, so the number is built from evidence and then written into the policy rather than argued about after a loss.

Territory

Coverage that travels

Scheduled pieces are generally insured wherever they are — worn to an event, in a hotel safe, in transit to a show, or sitting in a safe deposit box — rather than only inside the walls of the house.

Causes of Loss

Beyond theft and fire

Scheduling typically widens the causes of loss as well as the amount: accidental damage, and in many forms a piece that simply goes missing with no break-in and no explanation.

A few pieces can often ride on the home policy as an endorsement — the homeowners page covers how that works. Larger or faster-moving collections do better on a contract of their own, where the schedule is the point rather than an add-on.

FAQ

Common questions about specialty insurance

What counts as specialty insurance, and when does something need its own policy?
The short test is whether a standard home or auto form will even name the thing. Boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, ATVs, golf carts and collector cars are either capped at token amounts or left out entirely on the policies most people already own — not because carriers are being difficult, but because those forms were built around a house and a commuter car. When the item does not fit that description, it needs paper of its own.
How much should I expect specialty coverage to cost?
Usually far less than the item is worth, and often less per dollar of coverage than the same money buys on a car. Most of these machines run seasonally and sit the rest of the year, and the rate reflects that. What actually moves the number is the value, the engine or hull size, where it is kept, and who operates it.
Does my umbrella policy extend over my boat, RV, or motorcycle?
Often, but never automatically. An umbrella sits above the liability limits of the policies it names, so each machine has to be listed on it and carry whatever underlying limits the carrier asks for. Some carriers also cap what they will sit above by horsepower, engine size, or hull length. Worth confirming in writing rather than assuming.
How do I keep the values current as the collection grows?
With a review rather than a guess. Collector cars, jewelry and fine art move in value, and a figure agreed at binding does not track the market on its own. We revisit the amounts at renewal, add pieces mid-term as they arrive, and tell you which ones need a fresh appraisal as opposed to a receipt or a photograph. An out-of-date figure is the quiet version of having none.
What happens when I sell it or trade up mid-policy?
Call before the handover rather than after. Coverage does not travel with the machine to its new owner, and a replacement is not automatically protected just because something similar was. Most of the time this is a same-day endorsement, with any unused premium following you onto the new unit — but the gap between selling one and insuring the next is real, and it is entirely avoidable.
Who handles a specialty claim, and how is it different?
The adjusters carriers assign to these lines are usually specialists, which matters more than it sounds — putting a number on a damaged fifth wheel or a cracked hull is not work a general adjuster does often. Our part happens well before that: the agreed values, documentation and photographs that turn a claim into a calculation instead of a negotiation.
