You also can buy several types of additional insurance for property that is not listed in your homeowner’s policy or for perils not covered, such as flood for which you need a separate policy

San Diego Auto Insurance

Everyone needs a good auto insurance policy. We have access to many markets that can offer special coverage or perks. These may not be for every driver, but you may want to consider these. These options can be quoted with your regular auto insurance coverage.

Here are a few auto insurance coverage you might consider this holiday

Roadside Assistance

Some auto insurance companies offer roadside assistance; in the event you need to be towed after an accident. This coverage often also means the insurer will send someone with extra fuel if you run out of jumper cables if your battery is dead.

ATV and Snowmobile Insurance

Winter is a great time to use your ATV or snowmobile. Thousands of people look forward to that blanket of white and the pleasures of enjoying the outdoors on snowmobiles. There are few joys greater in life than being able to escape the daily grind on your snowmobile, motorcycle, or ATV. These do create liability; make sure you are protected.

These machines can weigh as much as 500 pounds and travel over 50 miles per hour. Like any other vehicle, you are liable for any damage and injury you cause. Insurance can protect your legal liability in the event you injury a third party.

 

Identity Theft Insurance

Identity fraud is defined as the unauthorized use of another person’s personal information to achieve illicit financial gain, said Javelin Strategy & Research, which reported a 13 percent increase in this type of illegal activity in 2019.

Identity theft insurance coverage usually covers assistance in straightening out the aftermath of identity theft (such as canceling unauthorized accounts and so forth), which is generally easy when the fraud involves credit cards but can be more time-consuming for accounts at banks and other institutions.  Source: Consumer Reports

Thieves can take information from identifying documents and use them to impersonate you, steal from your bank accounts, establish phony insurance policies, or open unauthorized credit card accounts in your name.
