Frequently Asked Questions – Personal Insurance in Central NY
What personal insurance policies do I really need?
Most families start with auto and homeowners (or renters) insurance, and often add umbrella liability for extra protection. We also offer life insurance and coverage for motorcycles, boats, and RVs.
Is it worth bundling my home and auto policies?
Yes, bundling can save up to 20% and simplifies your insurance by having one point of contact. We’ll compare multi-policy discounts across carriers.
Do I need a personal umbrella policy?
Umbrella insurance provides extra liability protection beyond home and auto limits, which is especially important if you own property, have teen drivers, or want to protect your assets.
How much life insurance should I have?
It depends on your family’s needs—such as replacing income, paying off a mortgage, or funding college. We can help calculate the right term or whole life coverage for your situation.
Do you offer insurance for recreational vehicles like boats or motorcycles?
Yes. We provide custom policies for boats, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles so your adventures are covered.
