Running luxury accommodations like hotels and villas demands a personalized insurance service. These businesses encounter various legal challenges from guests and staff. Many incidents leading to legal action aren’t covered by standard public liability policies or regional hotel programs. We’ve crafted a comprehensive liability policy, providing extensive coverage at competitive prices, specifically addressing the unique risks hotels face.
Risk Analysis
The Tomlin Team distinguishes itself from the standard broker insurance renewal cycle by delivering a thorough examination of the risks your business encounters. We go the extra mile by:
- Assessing your current risks and comparing them with your existing premiums
- Evaluating and elucidating the potential implications of new risks.
Residential Protection
As a commercial broker, we were able to use our experience and network to develop an improved homeowner’s policy compared to your average broker or insurance provider.
Group Health
Tomlin Brokers provides straightforward, responsive, and proactive group medical coverage services.
We prioritize understanding your needs and provide transparent renewal terms well in advance. Our regular performance reviews keep you informed. Plus, we’re advocates for preventive care, helping both employees and employers manage long-term health.
