To Our Neighbors, Friends, and Clients

In my 49-year career as an insurance agent providing both personal and commercial lines, I have never witnessed and had to deal with such a difficult market. Many companies are non-renewing policies, increasing minimum deductibles, restricting certain coverages, increasing premiums at renewals, and some seem simply not interested in writing new policies unless the applicant is claim/violation-free for at least three years.

Sincerely,

Norm Strehlow, CIC

I suggest exploring the below with us or your current agent:

  • Combine auto and home policies with the same company for potential discounts.
  • Ask your agent to check your “Insurance Score” annually if you think your credit score has improved.
  • Consider higher deductibles for lower premiums.
  • If over 55, take a Defensive Driving Course for discounts; retirees can inquire about PIP work loss exclusion.
  • Ensure your agent knows your commute distance for accurate premium calculations.
  • Avoid driving violations to prevent premium increases.
  • Pay premiums on time to avoid potential non-reinstatement.
  • Keep current insurance active until new coverage is confirmed.
  • Explore “Paid in Full” discounts and consider EFT/Auto Pay to reduce fees.
  • Allow 7-10 days for mail payments to avoid late fees.
  • Schedule an annual meeting with your agent for a comprehensive review of your insurance needs.
