FAQs

  • Enough liability to protect your income and assets if you’re ever sued, plus coverage for your car’s value. Many people underestimate their liability risk — our team will walk through it with you so you have confidence your financial future is safe.

  • Rates can change for a few reasons: discounts dropping off (like auto-pay), new claims, tickets, or even higher repair costs. Sometimes it’s simply inflation. We’ll explain exactly what changed on your policy so you’re not left wondering.

  • A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before insurance takes over. Higher deductibles mean lower monthly payments, but more upfront if there’s a claim. Our agents will help you strike the balance that makes sense for you.

  • Often yes — your coverage usually extends to rentals, but it depends on your policy. Our team will confirm for you so you don’t overpay at the rental counter.

  • Standard policies don’t cover everything — things like floods, earthquakes, or gradual wear-and-tear are usually excluded. If those risks are a concern in your area, our agents can add extra protection so you’re never caught off guard.

  • Replacement cost coverage replaces your belongings with brand-new items of similar kind and quality. Actual cash value subtracts for age and wear, so you’d get less. Replacement cost offers stronger protection, and our team will help you choose what feels right for your budget and peace of mind.

  • It depends on how the damage happened. A sudden pipe burst? Usually covered. A slow leak over time or outside flooding? Not without extra coverage. Our agents will review your options so you know exactly where you stand — no surprises.

  • Your home itself is protected, but business equipment or work liability usually isn’t fully covered. If you’re working remotely or running a business from home, our team can make sure you’re protected so your work is as safe as your house.

  • Yes. If your home is unlivable after a covered loss, your policy helps pay for hotel stays or rentals under “Additional Living Expenses.” It’s peace of mind knowing you’ll always have a safe place to stay.

  • Yes — we partner with pet insurance providers to help you protect your four-legged family members. It’s an affordable way to handle unexpected vet bills and keep tails wagging.
