Hartford Insurance I travel frequently, their Inland Marine Policy gives me tranquility while on the road. Recently they replaced $40,000 worth of gear that was stolen, they lived up to their promises. I reccomend replacement coverage. An update: they have cancelled my coverage based on the above mentioned claim and nearly two years after it occurred. I'm shopping for coverage but still recommend them based on the way they handled the claim....
