Though the exact origin of this day is unknown, there’s no doubt that insurance is important. From car to home insurance, these policies help protect us from unexpected problems and give us peace of mind.
Ways to Observe National Awareness Day
- Check in with Your Agent: Take a few minutes to contact your insurance representative. It’s a good opportunity to review your current coverage, ask about any new deals, fixed-rate options or available discounts, and discuss any changes in your premiums. Regular check-ins can ensure your policy still fits your needs and budget.
- Compare Your Options: Shopping around doesn’t have to be a hassle. Many insurance companies will now provide comparisons with competitors’ rates to highlight their value. This makes it easier for you to see where you’re getting the most coverage for your money, without spending hours researching. Even small savings can add up over time.
- Look for Ways to Save: You may be able to reduce your insurance costs just by making a few smart changes. Completing a defensive driving course, staying in good health, installing a home security system or even bundling your policies (like auto and home) can lead to significant discounts. Ask your agent about which actions could help you qualify for lower rates.
Not every insurance company is the same. Making an informed decision about insurance involves more than just looking at the immediate cost of a policy. Understanding the potential costs of an accident, both financially and personally, is crucial. In Wisconsin, as in most places, there are legal requirements for insurance coverage, but it's equally important to ensure that the coverage you choose offers sufficient protection for you and your family.
