How much home insurance do you need in Idaho?

Posted on by AgentInsure

Boise, ID continues to be a magnet for those looking to retire because of the city’s low cost of living and the beautiful scenery that encompasses the area. So many people moving to the region may prompt homeowners to consider how much home insurance they need. The agents at Fuhriman Insurance Agency can help you determine if your insurance is enough coverage or if you should consider upgrading your plan. 

What is the median home value in Idaho?

The average person who moves to Idaho can expect to pay about $290,00 for a single-family home. Most buyers pay upwards of $350,000 for homes in the state. 

Individuals moving to Boise ID can expect to pay as much as $350,000, if not more, for a home. The primary reason that homes cost more in this city is due to location. Boise is home to a popular university that students from around the world attend. The city is also the capital of the state, which means that more tourists are prone to visit Boise before exploring other parts of Idaho. 

Does your insurance plan measure up?

Some homeowners purchased properties in Boise before individuals from other states became interested in the region. Thus, your home insurance plan may require an upgrade. 

The best home insurance policies offer enough coverage for relocation and the purchase of a new home if your current house is damaged beyond repair. Your policy should also take into account property upgrades as well as the possessions inside your home. 

Some Boise, ID homeowners hire an appraiser before purchasing new home insurance policies. You can go this route in addition to calling the agents at Fuhriman Insurance Agency for a quote. Call today!

Auto Insurance for Carpooling

Posted on by AgentInsure

Carpooling has many advantages which include saving money, reducing stress (when it is not your turn to drive), and saving time if there is a special carpool lane. Carpooling is good for the environment, prolongs the life of your vehicle, and reduces traffic.

Talk with your agent at Fuhriman Insurance Agency, serving Boise, ID and the surrounding area if you are planning to be carpooling to work because your auto insurance needs to be adjusted for this use. Let your agent know if you are going to receive any money from your employer for carpooling expenses.

If your work provides a vehicle for your use, then the insurance may already cover what you need for carpooling. Have your agent review any auto insurance policies that are already in place to make sure you have adequate protection.

Also, inform your agent if you plan to allow any other people to drive your vehicle or if you plan to drive a vehicle owned by another person. This can change the type of auto insurance coverage you need. For those you wish to allow to drive your vehicle regularly, your agent may advise you to add them as a designated driver on your auto insurance policy. This will help make sure there is adequate coverage for another person who is driving your auto.

Replacement Value Coverage and Extras

Talk with your agent about the advantages of having replacement value coverage for your vehicle, emergency road assistance, and rental car coverage if your vehicle is being repaired. This extra protection is wise to have when more than just you are relying on your vehicle to take everyone to work.

Contact your agent at Fuhriman Insurance Agency in Boise, ID for a complete auto insurance review and a quote to make sure you have adequate protection for carpooling and all of your auto insurance needs.
