Getting married is big news, and there are lots of people to tell. One of the people you should be sure to share the good news with is your insurance agent. You’ll have to update your information with them, and they may be able to find you discounts after your wedding.

Insurance Companies Need Your Updated Information

It’s important to update your information with insurance companies soon after you’re married. Insurers need to know if your name, address, or other personal information change for two reasons. First, they need to know how to contact you. Second, your policies are legal documents and need to be filled out accurately.

You can easily notify your insurer of any changed information by contacting your insurance agent. They’ll know what changes in your personal information are important, and they can update documents as needed.

Insurance Agents Might Find You Discounts

When speaking with an insurance, you might learn that you qualify for new discounts now that you’re married. Insurers offer many different types of discounts. When your situation in life changes, which ones you qualify for may change. For instance, after you’re married, your agent might be able to get you and your spouse a multi-policy discount. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which discounts you qualify for, which is another reason why you should talk to an agent after getting married.

If you live in Matthews, NC and are recently married, feel free to contact our independent insurance agents. At JC Demo Insurance Group, we have multiple agents who are licensed in North Carolina, and can help you update your documents and search for new insurance discounts. To talk with one of them, contact us through our agency’s website.

 

Matthews, NC is a great place to live. However, during the summer it’s going to be hot and you want to make sure that your pet is well cared for. There are a few tips to make the summer more enjoyable for your pet, regardless of whether you have a dog, cat, or a few of each.

Your dog or cat is not too different from you. You want to be well hydrated during the summer months, and you don’t want to walk around on hot concrete because it hurts your feet. Remember this for your pets, too.

• Give them access to plenty of water
• Look for signs of overheating
• Don’t bring them out during the hottest parts of the day
• Cover their paws when walking them on the pavement

There are other things that you want to look out for with your pet in the summer and it has nothing to do with the heat. There are a lot of bugs out and some of these are known for carrying various parasites. Mosquitoes transmit heartworm while fleas and ticks can transmit Lyme disease and various other diseases. Talk to your vet about preventative medication so that you don’t have to worry about any of these issues.

If you plan on doing lots of things with your pet, be sure that they are protected. This includes going out on a boat. Your pet may know how to swim, but it is better to err on the side of caution and invest in a life vest that fits properly.

At JC Demo Insurance Group, we look forward to helping you find quality homeowners insurance. Call us today and let us begin searching for quotes to help you find an affordable policy in Matthews, North Carolina.

 

 

Commercial auto insurance policies sometimes cost more than personal ones.  For many companies in Matthews, NC, a personal policy doesn’t provide enough coverage. Businesses typically need to carry a commercial one. Here’s why, along with how to find a commercial policy that isn’t too much more than a personal auto policy.

Why Businesses Need Commercial Auto Insurance

Companies should a carry commercial auto insurance policy, because they need the enhanced coverage that such a policy offers. Commercial auto insurance is required for:

• vehicles that are owned by a company and not an individual
• trucks that carry a commercial license
• vehicles that need higher liability limits than personal policies usually offer

If any of these describe your company, then your business needs a commercial policy. This is the only way to insure a vehicle in your company name. It lets you insure any type of vehicle, including trucks that are larger than a pickup truck, at extremely high limits, should you need to carry such coverage.
