Some Good Insurance Related Questions

We recommend asking your agent a series of questions to better understand what your insurance covers and does not cover. 

·         Do I need a personal umbrella? What does it cover?  What limit should I have?

·         I drive for a ride-share company. How am I covered?

·         What is replacement cost coverage, and why is it important?

·         What happens if I rent a car and go both domestically and abroad? What coverage would my insurance have? 

·         My homeowners' deductible, what is it? How would it be waived? When did I most recently file a homeowners claim? 

·         What would happen if my house was destroyed completely? Could I instead use the cash value of my policy?

·         My house is old. Would my insurance pay to rebuild my house to current building codes, or would I be responsible for that cost?
