Frequently Asked Insurance Questions From Our Grantsburg Insurance Agents
We know insurance can be complicated. Let us offer helpful insurance tips!
Our core client base is northwest Wisconsin, as we have insurance offices located in Grantsburg, St. Croix Falls, Milltown, Siren, Webster, and Minong. However, we are licensed in both WI and MN and provide insurance to many clients all the way from the Twin Cities to Duluth to Milwaukee and beyond.
Most of our companies offer discounts like Claims-Free, Multi-Policy, Home Security System, and Newer Roof. We also recommend reviewing your policy every 1-3 years with your agent to ensure your home and property are sufficiently covered, as well as making sure you’re not paying for coverages you don’t want.
Most of our customers are able to make payments online directly through their insurance company's website or online portal.
As a frequently asked question our Grantsburg insurance agents get, if you have an active auto policy, the highest amount of coverage on that policy will extend to a newly purchased vehicle for 7-14 days for most insurers.
Umbrella insurance is a type of personal liability insurance that covers claims in excess of your underlying policies (homeowners, auto, watercraft, recreational vehicle, etc.)
The two main types of loss settlements are Actual Cash Value (ACV) and Replacement Cost (RC). With ACV coverage, the insured would be paid the depreciated value of the damaged property at the time of loss. With RC coverage, the insured is reimbursed the amount necessary to repair or replace the damaged property with similar type and quality at the current cost.
Here are some of the items that affect your rate:
Your age
Accidents, claims, & violations (both yours and the other drivers on your policy)
Vehicle make & model
Geographic location
Credit History
