Fire Insurance
Â
Covers the structure of a property - roof, walls, and ceiling. Rates depend on the material used for construction (cement, mixture of cement/wood, or wood) and the location of the property (urban or rural areas). Fire protection covers you for catastrophic damage - earthquake, hurricane/windstorm, lightning, explosion, falling objects/vehicle impact, smoke damage, and debris removal. Flood and landfall can be included in this policy.
Â
~ Your maintenance fee does not include fire damage.
~ Fire insurance is required by banks in order to obtain a mortgage.

Claims are based on good faith here in Panama, but it is recommendable to keep the receipts in case of a claim. Claims are based on depreciated value of objects.

~ Companies give a 5% discount if you pay the full premium.
