Much of the customer information we collect comes directly from you.

This information includes loss information reports, motor vehicle reports, credit reports, and medical information.
In order to better serve your particular needs, the information noted above is collected by VIP Hotel Insurance, its agents, and other companies working on behalf of VIP Hotel Insurance. In addition to collecting information from you, you should also know that, depending on the nature of your transaction, we may collect information from outside sources, such as loss information reports, motor vehicle reports, and credit reports. For property insurance, we may send someone to inspect your property and verify information about the value and condition of your property.
