How To Minimize Personal Insurance Problems
- Keep your insurance policies in a safe but accessible place.
- Tell your family about the details of your life insurance.
- Review your insurance needs annually. Often you may make purchases that will require a change to your insurance.
- Don’t rent out your primary home through online temporary rental sites; you may not have coverage.
- Make a home inventory of all your personal property.
- Don’t use your personal auto for a pay for hire online taxi service. Your auto coverage does not apply to taxi services.
- Make sure you pay your premiums on time.
- Auto ID cards serve a purpose; keep them in your vehicle.
- If you have a change in marital status, make sure you update all your insurance policies.
- Get your teen driver into a driver’s education course, and make sure their grades are kept up to get the good student discount.
