Questions to ask when buying home insurance for the first time

Being a homeowner in Arvada, CO doesn’t have to be complicated; neither is home insurance. However, reading your insurance policy and learning about critical components of your policy, such as your coverage limits and the amount of coverage you need, goes a long way towards providing a financial safety net. That means asking important questions. If you’re not sure what to ask, here are some of the questions you should ask.

What would be the cost to rebuild my home currently in the event of a loss?

This is an important question if you want to know the amount of home insurance you need. Your insurance company can easily determine the cost of building material and labor in your area to come up with your home’s approximate value. 

What factors can affect my home insurance rates?

All insurance companies, including Alliance Insurance Services, have their unique way of calculating insurance premiums. However, they use several general factors to come to their conclusions, such as the safety of the area you live in, the number of people living in your home, the size and material used to build your home, and other features in your home such as a swimming pool, home office or trampoline.

Is water damage covered in my policy?

Most insurance policies in Arvada, CO, cover water damage. However, damage from flood water is not covered. Your insurance company should explain the difference between water damage and flood damage. Generally, water damage is caused by a broken tap, burst pipe, or clogged sewage system.

Should I get a separate policy for valuable items?

Your insurer may want to see your valuables to determine whether they can be included in your personal belongings or not. In most cases, money, guns, jewelry, artwork, and fur may require a separate policy.

If you’re confused about discounts, coverages, and limits, reach out to Alliance Insurance Services and speak to one of our insurance agents. They will show you examples and provide you with several options. Call us today!

Can I Drive Without Auto Insurance in Colorado?

No. It’s illegal to drive any motor vehicle in Colorado without proper auto insurance coverage. Thus, all vehicle owners and drivers should maintain proof of continuous insurance coverage during the entire registration period. 

All usable vehicles in Colorado should get auto insurance coverage when they’re registered and during their entire usage time. The state maintains an updated database of all registered vehicles, and it compares the database to the list of insurance covers provided by all Colorado vehicle insurance firms. The state sends a notice to all uninsured vehicle owners to remind them to get some auto insurance coverage. 

What’s the Purpose of Auto Insurance? 

Liability insurance covers property damage that occurs to a third-party vehicle or property when the insured driver or car owner is at fault in an accident.  The coverage also covers bodily injury and death that may occur to any third party involved in an accident wherein the insured is at fault. 

What’s the Minimum or Maximum Auto Insurance Coverage?

The state of Colorado sets minimum auto insurance coverage levels. But individuals are allowed to buy higher auto insurance coverage levels depending on their needs. 

What Are the Penalties of Having No Auto Insurance in Colorado?

Failure to get and carry your liability insurance proof of coverage may get you fined, and your license may get confiscated. You may also spend some time in jail or do some community service for this first-class misdemeanor. 

The severity of the penalties varies depending on whether your offense is a first, second, third, or more than third offense. You may also need to pay some fee and file the SR-22 certificate to get your license reinstated if it gets confiscated.
