Insurance Apps – The OK, The Good, and The Best

In 2016 the number of people accessing the internet using a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet surpassed those using a PC or laptop. That number will continue to climb since millennials tend to rely on their mobile devices for connection, shopping, information, and service needs. This raises the question as to how well insurance companies will respond by providing a meaningful app experience for millennials and clients in other age groups.

Insurance and the Online Experience

Last week I introduced how technology has changed and continues to change our lives. Technology advances are easier to see with companies such as Amazon, Uber, and Netflix, they are also leading to change in the insurance arena. Most of the technology changes in insurance have been in the “back office,” the area most consumers don’t see. As an independent insurance advisor, these changes make it easier for me to quote prospective clients policies, service existing clients’ policies, and even manage my business.

Car Insurance and Pizza Delivery

What was your first job? Aside from babysitting neighborhood kids for $1.00 an hour, mine was helping my uncle Jere sell women’s shoes at his store on the west side of Birmingham when I was 15. I didn’t have to worry its impact on my parent’s car insurance rate because I wasn’t a licensed driver and I rode the bus across town to Jere’s store.

What’s the Right Amount of Car Insurance for You?

Here’s a synopsis of the 15 guidelines as written by Cecilia Kang for the New York Times.

Insurance and Divorce

A close friend and client called me a few weeks ago requesting renters insurance for an apartment she’s moving into. She and her husband are separating as they determine whether or not to end their marriage and file for divorce or go through the long process of healing. They may or may not resolve their issues in the coming weeks or months which led me, as their agent, to take a few minutes and outline the insurance decisions they need to address should they decide to divorce. Let’s take a look at the three areas anyone going through a divorce should consider.

Car Insurance Options

There are a number of options that go well beyond what most people think of when they want “full coverage” car insurance. Here are six options worth knowing about.

Car Insurance Coverage: Medical, Towing, and Rental Car Reimbursement

There are a lot of different options available on a Texas car insurance policy. As I’ve written in the last two posts, anything after liability coverage is strictly optional as far as Texas law is concerned. This week we’ll look at some of the more common coverage options in the third part of our series on car insurance coverage.

Car Insurance Coverage: Uninsured Motorist & Deductibles

Last week, I wrote about the one required coverage on any Texas car insurance policy. It is liability coverage (see https://wiseinsurancegroup.com/car-insurance-one-coverage-required-texas/). I’m going to continue on the theme of car insurance coverage this week as we look at two more coverage types which are Uninsured Motorist and deductibles.

Car Insurance and the One Coverage Required in Texas

There is, however, one type of coverage every car insurance policy within Texas must have, and that is liability coverage. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at the different types of coverage available on car policies in Texas, as well as, some discounts you should be aware of.
