Questions
What is full coverage on an auto policy?
Full coverage has no standard definition. It depends on selected coverages and limits. We help you understand options like bodily injury, PIP, and physical damage to create a tailored policy.
Do I need separate insurance for rental cars?
Yes. While personal policies may cover rentals, we recommend additional protection like a rental company's LDW to avoid potential gaps in coverage.
Does home insurance cover floods?
Standard policies exclude flood damage. We recommend separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program for comprehensive protection.
What is an umbrella policy?
An umbrella policy adds $1 million+ liability coverage over home, auto, boat, and RV policies, protecting against financial loss from negligence at an affordable rate.
Will my home insurance cover jewelry?
Basic policies have limited coverage for jewelry. We recommend adding a scheduled endorsement for valuable items to ensure adequate protection against loss or theft.
Is boat insurance required in Florida?
Florida doesn't mandate boat insurance, but we strongly recommend it due to the high risk of accidents and potential liability costs associated with boating.
