What is Insurance

 

What is insurance?

Insurance is a method of protecting your financial assets when unexpected events occur. Automobile insurance policies provide both mandatory and optional coverages to help you pay for medical expenses, repair or replacement of your automobile, damage to other people's property and more. You decide the amount of coverage and protection you wish to purchase.

Insurance does not cover every circumstance, nor does it cover every amount of loss. Insurance is designed to help you offset large, unexpected expenditures. Small, day to day expenses are left for you to pay. Insurance that covered everything, no matter how small, would be so expensive that very few people could afford it.

 

Who needs insurance?

If you have enough money set aside to cover those large, unexpected expenditures, or enough to meet the financial responsibility laws of most states, then you do not need insurance. If you do not have that much money, and most people do not, then you need insurance.

 

How can I reduce my insurance cost?

The simple answer is to buy only what you need to cover the large, unexpected expenses that you could not cover out of your pocket. You can reduce your premiums by selecting higher deductibles and reducing the limits of coverage you purchase. Making a well informed insurance decision can be difficult. One of our independent agents can make the task easier. Our agents can answer questions about what your state requires of drivers and how best to address those requirements with automobile insurance.
