Questions
How do I add a vehicle to my insurance policy?
Contact us with vehicle details before visiting the DMV. We'll provide the required insurance documentation for registration.
What's required to remove a car from my policy?
Surrender license plates to the DMV and provide their FS-6 receipt. Coverage ends the day plates are turned in.
Why is my home insured for more than its market value?
Market value reflects selling price while replacement cost covers rebuilding expenses. We recommend insuring homes for replacement cost to ensure adequate coverage.
Is insurance required for boat registration in New York?
No, but we strongly recommend watercraft insurance before operating any vessel for safety and liability protection.
Are motorized vehicles in my garage covered by home insurance?
No, vehicles like boats, ATVs, and motorcycles require separate insurance policies for proper coverage.
How can I reduce my insurance costs?
Contact us for personalized recommendations. We'll review your current coverage and available discounts to optimize your policy.
