Questions to Ask your Agent

 

Your Independent Agent is an advocate for finding the right insurance that meets your specific needs. Here are a few things to consider as you prepare for the discussion:

  • How much can you afford to pay if you get in terms of out of pocket deductibles at time of claim? (To keep premiums low you may want to have a higher deductible and be willing to pay more for repairs.)

  • What is the insurance company's level of service and ability to pay claims?

  • What discounts are available?

  • What's the procedure for filing and settling a claim? (Ask who to call and what happens after you file a claim.)

  • How much will it cost to rebuild my house and replace my belongings if they are damaged or destroyed? (Ask your agent to talk you through your home's features and the things you own so you can make an informed decision about coverage.)

  • Does the insurance company have a good reputation for customer service? Is it known for paying claims fairly and promptly?

  • What discounts are available? (Ask about multiple policy, security system and fire resistance discounts.)

  • What's the process for filing and settling a claim? (Ask who to call and what happens after you file a claim.)
