FAQs:

Question: How do I get a quote for auto insurance?

Answer: You’ll provide details about your drivers, vehicle(s), and coverage preferences. Typically, we’ll ask for your name, address, driver’s license info, vehicle year/make/model (or VIN), estimated annual mileage, and current/desired coverage (liability, comprehensive, collision, deductibles). An agent can help you compare options and eligible discounts.

Question: Can I bundle home and auto insurance to save money?

Answer: Often, yes. Bundling multiple policies (like home and auto) with the same insurer can qualify you for a multi-policy discount. The amount varies based on your coverage choices and eligibility—an agent can quote both options.

Question: How much life insurance do I need?

Answer: It depends on what your household would need if you weren’t there—income replacement, outstanding debts, childcare and education costs, funeral expenses, and ongoing bills. An agent can help you estimate an appropriate coverage amount.

Question: Do you offer insurance options for small businesses or contractors?

Answer: Yes. Options may include commercial auto, general liability, business property/tools coverage, workers’ compensation (where applicable), and umbrella liability depending on your business needs. Tell us what kind of business you run and what you want to protect, and we’ll guide you to the right coverage options.

Question: Can I add a teen driver to my policy, and what will it cost?

Answer: In most cases, yes. Adding a teen driver typically affects your rates based on the teen’s age, driving experience/record, where the vehicle is garaged, and your coverage selections and deductibles. Some teens may also qualify for good student discounts. An agent can estimate the cost impact.

Question: How do I file a claim, and what information will I need?

Answer: You can start a claim by contacting your agent or the claims team. Be ready with your policy number, details of what happened, date/time and location, and any supporting information like photos and documentation. For vehicle claims, you’ll usually need driver/vehicle details and any police report information.
