Informed consumers can save money on home insurance

Asking the right questions can go a long way toward obtaining the best home insurance coverage and the best price, the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) said in a recent report.

According to the I.I.I., being an informed insurance consumer involved both scrutinizing your current home insurance policy and also seeking out answers after a thorough examination.

Besides knowing the basics of what a standard homeowners insurance policy covers, consumers should ask a series of questions, and receive satisfactory answers to each of them, before buying a new policy, or renewing an existing one, Michael Barry, Vice President of Media Relations at the I.I.I., said in a statement.

In the report, the I.I.I.

Hurricane Irene puts home insurance under the magnifying glass

The aftermath of Hurricane Irene brings wide-ranging implications, and damages to the home caused by hurricane-fueled storms – and the home insurance considerations that go along with it – are some of the most major concerns (other than the most serious of concerns) for homeowners across the U.S.

When it comes to natural disasters and home insurance, knowing the proverbial fine print of an individual insurance policy can be of the utmost importance.

Some homeowners in coastal states may opt to purchase separate hurricane insurance policies, but for those who don’t it’s important to understand the details of a given home insurance policy.

What is covered, what isn’t

According to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.), standard home insurance policies typically do offer protection against wind damage sustained by severe storms such as hurricanes. Standard

Different Types of Rental Car Insurance

Ive written about car insurance for rental cars before, but it seems to be all over the headlines today so I thought I would revisit this topic.  Whether or not to add the car rental companys car insurance is one of the biggest stressors you will face at the car rental counter.  The best advice, according to Fox News Jonathan Weinberg, is to do your research before standing at that rental counter.  It is very possible that your personal car insurance policy or even the credit card with which you rented your car will cover you in the case of an accident.  Weinbergs article, Secrets to unraveling car rental insurance, offers some pointers.

The first thing you should do is check with your own car insurance company and see if the coverage you already pay for includes rental car insurance.  Keep in mind that you may have added expenses with your own company if you do actually need to use their car insurance.  Youll have to go through the claims process, pay your deductible, and your car insurance rates could increase.  Many credit card companies offer the perk of car insurance coverage for your rental cars.  This is another case where you really need to do your research up front and see what they cover.  Some exclude SUVs and vans, others only offer secondary coverage meaning that they only pay for what your primary coverage does not.  You may even be charged a deductible.

Its important to make sure that you have liability coverage as well, especially in case you get into a bad car accident with another vehicle.  Credit card car insurance does not cover liability in the United States.  Car insurance through your rental car company offers basic liability coverage, but you have to pay more for supplemental coverage which youd need in the case of a major accident.  Your personal car insurance policy will likely cover liability as long as that is part of your overall policy.  While you will not be getting cheap car insurance if you purchase through the rental car company, you can rest assured that you will be covered and wont have to worry about extra paperwork filing claims and paying for deductibles.  Weigh the benefits and see what coverage is best for you when renting a car.
