Frequently Asked Questions: Auto Insurance

How much car insurance do I need?

The amount of car insurance you need depends on several factors, including your state's requirements, the value of your vehicle, and your personal financial situation. At minimum, you'll need to meet your state's liability insurance requirements. However, we recommend considering additional coverages like collision, comprehensive, and uninsured/underinsured motorist protection for more complete coverage.

What factors affect my auto insurance rate?

Several factors can influence your auto insurance rate, including:

  • Your driving record.

  • The type of car you drive.

  • Your annual mileage.

  • Where you live and park your car.

  • Your age and driving experience.

  • Your credit-based insurance score (in most states).

We can help you understand how these factors apply to your situation and find ways to potentially lower your rate.

How can I save money on my car insurance?

  • Bundling your auto policy with home or renters insurance.

  • Maintaining a safe driving record.

  • Taking advantage of available discounts (e.g., good student, multi-car, safety feature discounts).

  • Choosing a higher deductible (if you can afford it).

  • Improving your IS score.

    Our team can review your policy and situation to help identify savings opportunities for you.

A standard home insurance policy typically covers:

  • Dwelling (your home's structure).

  • Other structures on your property (e.g., detached garage, shed).

  • Personal property (your belongings).

  • Liability protection.

  • Additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

    Keep in mind that coverage can vary, so it's important to review your policy details with us.

  • The cost to rebuild your home.

  • The value of your personal belongings.

  • Your liability risks.

  • Any additional coverages you might need (e.g., Jewelry, extra riders).

    We recommend regularly reviewing your policy to ensure your coverage keeps pace with any home improvements, major purchases, or changes in rebuilding costs.

Frequently Asked Questions: Life Insurance

What's the difference between term and permanent life insurance?

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years) and is generally more affordable in the short term. Permanent life insurance, which includes whole life and universal life, provides lifelong coverage and builds cash value over time. The best choice depends on your individual needs and financial goals.

How much life insurance do I need?

The amount of life insurance you need depends on various factors, including:

  • Your income.

  • Your debts and future financial obligations

  • Your family's lifestyle and future needs (e.g., children's education).

  • Your long-term financial goals.

    We can help you assess your needs and recommend an appropriate coverage amount.

Can I change my life insurance beneficiary?

Yes, you can generally change your life insurance beneficiary at any time, unless you've made an irrevocable beneficiary designation. It's important to review your beneficiaries regularly and update them after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. We can assist you with the process of updating your beneficiaries.
