๐ŸŽ’ Coverage Corner: Back-to-School Insurance Check

Back-to-school season brings a lot of changesโ€”new schedules, new drivers, college move-ins, and plenty of expensive electronics heading out the door.

Itโ€™s also a great time to make sure your insurance still matches whatโ€™s happening in your household.

A few things worth checking:

๐Ÿš— Did you recently add a teen driver?
๐Ÿซ Is your child moving into a dorm or apartment?
๐Ÿ’ป Are laptops, tablets, and other electronics properly protected?
๐Ÿ“ฆ Are their belongings covered while theyโ€™re away from home?
๐Ÿš˜ Did they take a vehicle with them to school?

Coverage can vary depending on the situation and policy, so itโ€™s always better to ask before you need it.

If your household has had any back-to-school changes, give us a call and weโ€™d be happy to review things with you!

๐Ÿ’ญ Myth or Truth?

โŒ MYTH: โ€œIf someone borrows my car, their insurance automatically covers them.โ€

๐Ÿš— TRUTH: In many situations, auto insurance follows the vehicle first, not necessarily the person behind the wheel.

If you give a friend or family member permission to drive your vehicle and they get into an accident, your auto policy may be the primary coverage.

However, every situation is different. Who is driving, how often they drive your vehicle, why they're using it, and the terms of your specific policy can all affect coverage.

With Labor Day weekend coming up and plenty of people traveling, it's a good reminder to know how your coverage works before handing over the keys! ๐Ÿ”‘

Have someone who regularly drives or borrows your vehicle? Give us a call and we'll be happy to make sure everything is set up properly.

๐Ÿš— Teen Driving 101: Helping Build Good Driving Habits

Handing over the keys to a new teen driver is exciting... and maybe a little nerve-racking for parents! ๐Ÿ˜…

Building safe driving habits starts long before teens are driving on their own. Here are a few important things to practice:

๐Ÿš˜ Start with the basics โ€” Make sure they know the vehicle controls, mirrors, lights, wipers, hazard lights and dashboard indicators.

๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ Practice somewhere comfortable โ€” Start in empty parking lots or quiet neighborhoods before moving into heavier traffic and highway driving.

๐Ÿ“ต Put the phone away โ€” Talk about distracted driving and set expectations for phone use before they start driving independently.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Limit distractions from passengers โ€” Friends in the vehicle can be a major distraction for inexperienced drivers.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ Practice different conditions โ€” Once they're comfortable, gradually introduce nighttime driving, highways, rain and other challenging conditions.

๐Ÿ‘€ Most importantly: Set the example. Teens spend years watching how their parents drive. Buckle up, put the phone away, follow traffic laws and demonstrate the habits you want them to develop.

A little extra practice and patience now can help build safer, more confident drivers for years to come. ๐Ÿ’™

Have a new driver in your household? Don't forget to give your insurance agent a call, too! We can help answer questions about adding a teen driver and reviewing your auto coverage.

๐Ÿก Fact or Fiction?

Itโ€™s easy to assume that the amount your home is insured for should match what you paid for itโ€”or what it could sell for today. But thatโ€™s not always the case!

Your homeโ€™s market value and its replacement cost are two different things.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Market value is influenced by things like location, land, demand, and the current real estate market.

๐Ÿ”จ Replacement cost focuses on what it may cost to rebuild your home with todayโ€™s construction materials and labor.

Thatโ€™s why your home may be insured for more or less than its current market value.

Have you ever looked at your homeowners policy and wondered, โ€œWhy is my house insured for THAT amount?โ€ Youโ€™re definitely not the only one! Give us a callโ€”weโ€™re always happy to explain your coverage and make sure it still fits your home.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Coverage Corner

If something happened to your home and you couldn't live there while repairs were being made, have you ever wondered where you'd stayโ€”or how you'd pay for the extra expenses?

That's where Loss of Use coverage can help. ๐Ÿ 

If your home becomes unlivable because of a covered loss, this part of your homeowners policy may help pay for additional living expenses you incur while your home is being repaired.

Depending on your policy and situation, this could include things like:

๐Ÿจ Temporary housing or a hotel
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Additional meal expenses
๐Ÿพ Certain additional pet-related expenses
๐Ÿ’ฐ Other necessary increases in your normal living costs

It's one of those coverages that's easy to overlook until you actually need it!

Every policy has its own limits and conditions, so it's important to know what your coverage includes.

๐Ÿ“ž Have questions about your homeowners coverage? Give us a call at 715-735-9506. We're always happy to help!

๐Ÿ’ญ Myth or Truth?

โŒ MYTH: โ€œIf I hit a deer, itโ€™s a collision claim.โ€

๐ŸฆŒ TRUTH: Hitting a deer or other animal is generally considered a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim.

Comprehensive coverage helps protect your vehicle from certain things that don't involve colliding with another vehicleโ€”such as animal strikes, hail, theft, vandalism, and falling objects.

And here in Wisconsin, we all know how quickly a deer can appear in the road! ๐Ÿ˜…

One important thing to remember: comprehensive coverage is optional, so not every auto policy automatically includes it.

Not sure if you have comprehensive coverage or what your deductible is? Give us a call! We'd be happy to review your auto policy with you.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Coverage Corner: Comprehensive vs. Collision

You've probably seen both of these coverages listed on your auto insurance policyโ€”but do you know the difference?

๐Ÿ’ฅ Collision coverage generally helps with damage to your vehicle caused by a collision with another vehicle or object.

๐ŸŒณ Comprehensive coverage generally helps with damage caused by things other than a collision, such as hail, theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects, or hitting an animal.

Both coverages protect your vehicle in different situations, and each typically has its own deductible.

Knowing what your policy covers before something happens can make an unexpected situation a little less confusing.

๐Ÿ’ญ Myth or Truth?

๐Ÿก Myth: "Everything in my detached garage or shed is automatically covered."

Many homeowners assume their garage, shed, or other outbuildings have unlimited coverageโ€”but that's not always the case.

While many homeowners policies include coverage for detached structures, there may be limits, exclusions, and conditions depending on your policy.

If you have a detached garage, shed, workshop, or other outbuilding, it's a good idea to review your coverage and make sure it's adequate for your needs.

๐Ÿค What's the Difference Between a Captive Agent and an Independent Agent?

Many people don't realize there are different types of insurance agencies.

A captive agent represents one insurance company and offers that company's products.

An independent insurance agency, like Wagner-Casper Insurance Agency, works with multiple trusted insurance companies(more than 15+)! That means we can compare coverage options and help find a policy that best fits your needs, your budget, and your goals.

Why does that matter?

โœ… More coverage options

โœ… Multiple companies to compare

โœ… Personalized recommendations

โœ… Local service from people who know our community

At Wagner-Casper Insurance Agency, our goal is to help you understand your options and find coverage that's right for you.
