But I don't know anything about car insurance

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no one size fits all plan. Every insured's situation is different.

These are some specific questions may help highlight if your situation might need an agent's assistance.

  • Should I file a claim if it's only slightly more than my deductible?
  • Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • Does my personal auto insurance policy cover using my vehicle for business use?
  • Should I rate my vehicle as pleasure use or commute?
  • What are the best liability limits?

If it's difficult to answer those questions then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.

In the end, you save

As you restructure your insurance plan, do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are many occasions where someone dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that they should have had better coverage. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price.
