Insurance Made Simple

You won’t find any complicated “insurance-speak” here. Just easy-to-understand explanations of all sorts of car insurance topics and answers to some frequently asked questions about auto insurance.

Do I need extra insurance for the business equipment I keep in my car?

That equipment you're carrying may already be protected, depending on your employer's business insurance coverage-or, if you're self-employed, by your auto, renters, or home insurance policy. [More]

I only drive a few months each year. Can I get auto insurance just for those months?

There are a couple of factors at work when it comes to this auto insurance question. Keep in mind, too, that it may actually be more expensive to regularly start and stop an auto insurance policy than to keep it continuously. [More]

I'm buying a home and can't afford to pay a full year of homeowner's insurance. What are my payment options?
