We 💚supporting (and insuring) small businesses and here’s why:
• Small businesses make our community unique and boost our local economy.

• As a COUNTRY Financial rep, I’m a small business owner, too, so I understand the challenges and needs of small business owners in our community.

Distracted driving is, of course, unsafe. But it also keeps you from some serious savings on your car insurance. Our DriverIQ program rewards you for having a steady hand behind the wheel and, unlike other providers, we won't increase your base premium or surcharge you for poor driving.

When planning a getaway, you’re looking to relax and enjoy a break from the stress of everyday life. The last thing you want to worry about is what happens if things go wrong during your trip. Thankfully, you can count on your home and car insurance to protect you even when you’re away. Here are a few ways your home and auto insurance protect you when you’re traveling:

1. Roadside Assistance
While hitting the open road is a great adventure, sometimes breakdowns happen. Your auto insurance may provide you with emergency road service coverage, which can reimburse you for towing expenses, delivery of fuel, repair parts and labor charges.

2. Car insurance coverage for other drivers
Sharing driving duty with others on a road trip? Rest assured, if you give other licensed drivers permission to use your car, they are usually covered. This includes teens with learner’s permits!

3. Rental car insurance coverage
You might be wondering, “does my car insurance cover rental cars?” Generally, your auto policy should apply to the rental vehicle as long as you are driving within the United States (including your deductible). Always read the contract carefully and ask the rental agent to explain anything if you’re unsure.

Additionally, you can add vehicle rental and trip interruption coverage to your auto insurance to provide coverage for a rental vehicle if you have an accident away from home. With this protection, you may be reimbursed for a rental car if you have a covered claim, and if you have an accident more than 100 miles from home, you could also apply this coverage to travel expenses like transportation, lodging and meals. Expense limits differ by state, so talk to your insurance representative about the types of coverage available where you live.

4. Insurance coverage at a hotel or vacation home rental
If you are the victim of theft while you’re renting a vacation home or staying in a hotel, you may have coverage through your home insurance for your personal property. If you accidentally cause damage to the property you're staying in, you may have liability coverage as well.

Winter is gone and spring has sprung, so now is a good time to check your property for any post-winter damage. Read on to find out how you can get your property in shape and avoid costly future damage with our spring home maintenance checklist:

1️⃣ Check your roof
Repair cracked or missing shingles and remove debris buildup, such as leaves and branches. If you have a newer roof or are planning to get a new roof, you may be eligible for a home insurance discount.

2️⃣Clean gutters and downspouts
Clear your gutters and downspouts of leaves and debris to help the spring rain flow freely from off your roof, reducing the chance of damage caused by a backup.

3️⃣ Check for other exterior damage
Repair torn window screens and weather stripping, cover holes and gaps where animals and bugs can get in and check the chimney for damage.

4️⃣ Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors’ batteries
These life-saving devices are a key deterrent for home fires, eliminating or reducing damage to your home.

5️⃣ Get a dehumidifier
If your basement is damp, you may have poor ventilation – a dehumidifier can help dry things up. If you have valuables in your basement, talk to your insurance agent about sump pump backup coverage.

❇️ Bonus tip: Check in with your insurance agent
Make sure you’re protected with proper home insurance before severe spring weather hits.

Completing the items on this home maintenance checklist can keep your property looking good and help you avoid future home insurance claims.

In a world filled with constant change, we shouldn’t be surprised that things offering stability and consistency are appealing. That is one thing you can count on with the right permanent life insurance policy – dependable insurance that is there when you need it. Here’s what this insurance offers:

Death benefit protection - The ability to have death benefit protection that you can’t outlive. Many permanent policies may allow for that death benefit to grow over time, depending on how the policy is configured.

Predictable or flexible premiums - The ability to have a predictable premium experience for whole life policies that can be “locked in” if desired. Some policies may allow you to have limited premium payment periods while supporting long-term protection. Indexed universal life policies allow for flexible premiums.

Favorable cash value access - The ability to have policy cash values growing under tax-favored conditions. When structured properly, cash values grow without annual taxation and allow the tax-free access of those accumulated values in future years.

Protection from creditors - The ability to have limited creditor protection of life insurance cash values and death benefits. The amounts protected will vary by state and depend on circumstances, such as whether or not a bankruptcy filing is in effect.

Sound like this might be a good fit for your needs? Call me to get a quote today.
