What is the main difference between a combined policy and a packaged policy?

A combined policy is designed to be customized and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the insured. This means that it allows for greater flexibility in terms of coverage options, which can be adjusted based on the unique circumstances of a business. This personalization makes it particularly valuable for businesses with diverse risk profiles or specific insurance needs that may not be adequately addressed by standard offerings.

In contrast, a packaged policy typically offers set coverages for a range of standard risks that a majority of businesses in certain sectors experience. While it’s convenient and often cost-effective, it does not usually provide the same level of customization as a combined policy.

The other choices related to the coverage scope don’t accurately reflect the primary distinction between the two types of policies. Packaged policies are generally broader in covering a wider selection of trades, targeting common business risks, whereas combined policies are more focused on tailoring coverage to specific requirements of an individual business.
