Frequently Asked Questions
What types of insurance do you offer?
We offer a range of personal insurance products including auto insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, and other specialty lines. Our goal is to provide comprehensive coverage tailored to your individual needs.
What does home insurance typically cover?
Home insurance usually covers damage to the structure, personal property, and liability for accidents that occur on the property. It may also include coverage for temporary living expenses if the home becomes uninhabitable. Be sure to check your policy details for specific coverage limits or exclusions.
Is auto insurance mandatory?
Yes, most states require auto insurance to legally drive. Minimum coverage typically includes liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage. If your vehicle is financed, your lender will often require you to carry physical damage coverage as well.
What is renters insurance?
Renters insurance covers personal belongings inside a rental unit against theft, fire, and other damages. It also provides liability coverage if someone is injured in the rental space.
What is an umbrella insurance policy?
Umbrella insurance provides extra liability coverage beyond standard home or auto policies. It helps protect assets in the event of significant claims or lawsuits.
How often should I review my insurance policies?
It’s a good idea to review your policies every few years or after major life events like buying a home, getting married, or having children.
What factors affect my auto insurance premium?
Your driving record, age, vehicle type, and location all play a role in determining your premium. Credit score and claims history may also impact rates.
Does home insurance cover natural disasters?
Coverage for natural disasters varies. Standard policies often cover wind and hail but may exclude floods or earthquakes, which require separate policies.
What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?
Replacement cost covers the full cost to replace damaged items, while actual cash value factors in depreciation, paying less for older items.
What is a deductible?
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance covers the remaining costs. Higher deductibles often lead to lower premiums.
How does bundling insurance policies save money?
Bundling multiple policies, like home and auto, often leads to discounts because insurers reward customer loyalty and convenience.
Is flood insurance included in home insurance?
No, flood insurance is usually not included and must be purchased separately through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers.
Is my home in a flood zone?
Every home is in a flood zone. Different zones are statistically more prone to flood losses than others. If your home is in a higher risk zone, your lender may require that you have a flood insurance policy.
Do red cars automatically cost more to insure?
Nope! The color of your car has no bearing on your insurance rates.
