What You Should Look for in Your Home Insurance Quote

Posted on by AgentInsure

When shopping for home insurance in Matthews, NC, you should get multiple quotes first. There are certain things to consider so you can find the best policy.

What the Policy Covers and Doesn’t: Home insurance offers a broad type of coverage, but there are some things that won’t be covered. Anticipating possible incidents can help eliminate surprises and give you an idea of where to set your coverage limits. It can also give you an idea of what other insurance plans you need, like flood insurance.

Coverage for Your Personal Items: Home insurance will provide coverage for your belongings, but there will be a limit on certain items. If you know the value of your stuff, you can make sure your policy provides enough coverage and see if you need to get any additional coverage.

Rebuilding: You want to be able to rebuild your house after a disaster, so your policy will need to provide protection that is equal to or greater than the rebuilding cost of your home and not just the purchase price. The rebuilding cost needs to take into account the cost of materials, as well as any construction costs. Replacement cost coverage will cover items without subtracting for depreciation.

Discounts: There may be discounts if you are doing things like adding extra security to your home, or if you are paying your policy online. An agent at JC Demo Insurance Group can explain any discounts that would be available to you.

Your Deductible: Coverage will require you to pay for a deductible before your policy will kick in. A deductible will affect your premium, so you should weigh the pros and costs of a lower or higher deducible when looking at your policy.

Car insurance terminology

Posted on by AgentInsure

Like most states, North Carolina requires basic liability coverage on your automobiles, as well as some coverage for non-insured or under-insured motorists. Visit the JC Demo insurance Group in Matthews, NC to get the coverage you need for your automobile. 

Liability, of course, covers damages you cause to another car, or injuries in an accident where you are at fault.  There are some basic limits as to how much to have, but many car owners have more than the minimum. There are people who do not obey the law, and if they cause an accident, you may not be able to collect from them. That is where non-insured or under-insured coverage can protect you.

 Collision coverage covers damage to your car when you drive it into something. That something can be another car, or a tree, or a building. It covers your car when it is damaged. This is optional coverage, but you may be required to have it by the lender if you owe money on the car. If the car has high value it is a good idea to have this kind of coverage.

Comprehensive is the other main kind of insurance, and this covers everything else. This covers damage to your car from things like storms, floods, trees falling and so forth. It also covers windshield damage, fire, theft and other things out of your control.  This is also optional coverage that most people have if they have a newer car.

Call or visit the JC Demo Insurance Group on Matthews, NC to make sure you have the right coverage for your car. You may visit in person or online to get the coverage you need. If you are going to change cars, it is also a good idea to let your insurance company know before the purchase is made.
