Co-Ownership Insurance and Filing Claims
Why co-ownership insurance is required
Standard homeowner or vehicle policies usually do not cover assets held in an LLC with multiple owners. Slivvy requires a co-ownership policy on every asset so every member is protected — and the platform can keep coverage from lapsing.
What's covered
- Property / asset damage — accidental damage, weather events, theft
- Liability — protects co-owners and their guests
- Loss of use — when the asset is unusable due to a covered claim
- Natural disaster — wildfire, flood, hurricane (depending on the policy and region)
- Other policy-specific coverage — see your certificate
How premiums work
Premiums are calculated per share and billed monthly along with your other recurring fees. You'll see the per-share premium on the listing before you buy.
Your certificate of insurance
Each co-owner gets a certificate of insurance for the asset, downloadable from Document Vault → Insurance. Marinas, HOAs, and lenders sometimes ask for proof of coverage — this is what you send them.
Filing a claim
- From the asset page, tap File an insurance claim
- Describe the incident, attach photos and any condition reports
- Add a copy of any police or fire report (for theft, vandalism, or fire)
- Submit — Slivvy routes the claim to the insurance carrier
Tracking a claim
Claim status, adjuster contact, and any payout details are visible in Dashboard → Claims. Proceeds are typically paid to the LLC and used to repair the asset; if there's a balance, it's distributed per the Operating Agreement.
Renewals
Renewals are automatic. Slivvy reviews coverage annually and recommends adjustments if usage patterns or asset value have changed materially.
Incidents that don't rise to a claim
Minor damage that's below the deductible is handled through the regular damage workflow — see Check-In, Check-Out, and Condition Reports for how attribution and reimbursement work.
