 If you call for a home, mobile home, or flood policy or to add comprehensive and/or collision insurance to your auto policy and are told no because the company is under binding restrictions, it may confuse or even irritate you.
What in the world are binding restrictions and why do insurance companies implement them?  Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay Earlier this year we did a post on Three Things young people should take care of to help life in the ‘real’ world be less stressful. Today we’re discussing why it is important to list your teenage driver on your auto policy as soon as they get a permit.  Most states require liability insurance on automobiles and other vehicles registered for highway or “on road” use. Financial institutions usually require Comprehensive and Collision insurance to protect their interest in a vehicle. These three coverages are what many consider “full coverage.” However, in the insurance industry, “full coverage” means a whole lot more.
In this post we’ll discuss what “full coverage” auto insurance entails.  The lure of the open road, wind in your hair and on your face. Your view unimpeded by glass and metal, body unencumbered by safety belts. The option of huge savings on gasoline, oil, tires and upkeep.
These are a few reasons why people choose to purchase a motorcycle.  We keep seeing commercials about how you can turn your personal automobile into a part-time career as a Lyft or Uber driver. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Everyone likes the idea of making a few extra bucks on their “off” time, but here are some Insurance Facts you need to know before you decide to venture into this type of business.  Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve delved into reasons why you need to maintain insurance coverage on your recreational vehicles. We’ve covered boats and RV/Campers. Today we’ll talk about ATV’s.
As with other recreational vehicles, if your all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is financed, chances are your bank or financial institute will require coverage until the loan is paid off. However, most people are quick to cancel that insurance as soon as the loan is paid off. Not smart!  Before we get too far into this blog post, let me clarify that a Motorhome is usually covered under state mandated insurance laws just as an automobile is. Since it is a vehicle licensed for on-road use, there are specialized policies for motorhomes; therefore, the information below pertains more specifically to a RV or Camper.
 Most finance companies will require boats to be insured throughout the length of the loan. However, many folks discontinue their insurance once that is paid off and some who buy their boat outright never think to insure it.
Many people operate under the misconception that between their auto and home insurance, their boat, motor, trailer and contents are covered. Not so! |
