Answer: Not always 👀

A lot of people are surprised to learn that personal belongings inside your vehicle may not always be covered under your auto policy.

Things like:
✔️ Laptops
✔️ Purses
✔️ Tools
✔️ Personal items

may instead fall under homeowners or renters insurance depending on the situation.

Every policy is different, which is why understanding your coverage matters.

If you have questions about your current coverage, we’d be happy to help review your options.

Myth or Fact 👀

Your insurance automatically covers everything inside your vehicle if it gets stolen.

One thing people are often surprised to learn after an accident:

The other driver may not have insurance at all. 😳

That’s where Uninsured Motorist Coverage can help.

✔️ No insurance
✔️ Not enough insurance
✔️ Certain hit-and-run situations

It’s one of those coverages many people overlook until they actually need it.

If you have questions about your current coverage or want to review your policy, we’d be happy to help make sure you understand your options.

One thing we run into pretty often is people using vehicles for work but still having them insured on a personal auto policy.

If you have:
• Work trucks
• Vans
• Business signage
• Tools or equipment being hauled regularly

…it may be worth looking into commercial auto coverage.

If a vehicle is tied to how you make a living, it’s worth making sure it’s covered the right way.
