**Curtis insurance No Longer Offers Home Insurance ~ This Post for Informational Purposes Only** If you’ve ever needed to make a change to your insurance policy or done research into adding coverage, you may have heard the terms Rider and/or Endorsement and wondered, What is the Difference? In this post we’ll explain and hopefully you’ll feel better informed when it comes to your insurance policies. We’ve all seen the silly duck (or is it a goose?) advertising cash in your pocket because of an illness or accident, but what exactly is a Hospital Indemnity Policy and how does it compare to Disability Income Protection? Although qualified as “insurance” a Hospital Indemnity Policy is actually a cash benefit plan that pays directly to the insured (you) in the case of hospital confinement. Most folks purchase an indemnity plan to help offset the co-pay and deductible costs associated with their major medical insurance. You’re not quite ready to buy but anxious to be out on your own, and have finally found the perfect place to rent. Your lease agreement says you must maintain ‘Renters’ or ‘Contents’ insurance. You call your agent and purchase the coverage, but don’t fully understand what you’ve got. Renters or contents coverage offers many of the same features as home insurance. Hopefully you’ll get a better understanding of your policy from this post. 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. |
