What do I do if I don't have a car but am required to have an SR22 and an ignition interlock?
You should be able to purchase a non-owners insurance policy and have an SR22 attached to that policy to meet the state requirement. It would be impossible to install an interlock device if you don't have a vehicle so I would recommend contacting your probation officer or attorney to discuss your o…
Why do I have to pay a deductible if I was hit by an uninsured driver?
Unfortunately, recovering the cost of your deductible, if the other driver is uninsured, is up to you. I would definitely recommend asking to speak with a supervisor at your insurance company to see if you have any other options available, but you may have to pay the deductible simply to start the …
If my girlfriend is moving in with me, should we get separate renters insurance policies?
Here is a good article on sharing renters insurance with a roommate. In my personal opinion, sharing a policy with any person who isn't a spouse is not a good idea. The amount of coverage on the policy is split in half and any claim made by the other party will also be attached to your insurance re…
Is there an age limit for a good student discount?
There is no way to say for sure outside of asking your specific insurance company. Most insurance providers that offer good student discounts have stipulations that may make you ineligible due to your age or the fact that you aren't covered on your parent's policy. Your best would be to contact you…

Renters insurance is extremely valuable since it is often inexpensive and provides lots of coverage when things go wrong.

Do car insurance companies price match?

This means that each company prices their coverage differently since they don't share this information so rates will differ depending on your personal information. While your compan…
What should I do if I cancelled my insurance policy but the company drafted money out of my account afterward?
While I can't say with a certainty, it sounds like you were set up for EFT (auto-draft) payments with Allstate so you didn't have to worry about calling in or mailing a payment. Unfortunately with EFT options, it may not be possible to stop a scheduled payment draft depending on when the payment is…
Do I have to file a claim with my renters insurance company if my apartment was flooded by an upstairs neighbor?
For the purpose of getting your belongings replaced as quickly as possible, I would definitely recommend contacting your renters insurance provider immediately. While your neighbor will likely be considered liable for the water leak, your insurance company should be able to act quickly to replace y…
Who insures a teenage driver after a divorce?
Generally speaking, in a divorce the parent with primary custody should insure the child on their policy. The tricky part would be if your son will be driving your vehicle while at your home and then his father's vehicle when he stays with him. In that instance, it would be best for you and your ex…
Does homeowners insurance cover damage to interior walls?
It's very likely that your insurance company would cover the damage, however, it may not be worth your deductible or the hit to your insurance history to file a claim if you can afford to pay for the repair yourself. I would recommend getting a repair estimate before contacting your insurance compa…
