Why working with the Florey Insurance Agency will help you save money

Many people are finding they can lower the cost of car insurance- and the time it takes to select the right policy- by working with an independent insurance agent.
Because independent insurance agents represent many different insurance companies, independent agents have the flexibility to review rates and coverage from competing carriers so you can receive the best deal. They can offer affordable protection for your home, business and other assets.
So rather than spending hours gathering quotes from various companies, you can get everything done in one place. The Florey Insurance Agency-located in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania- can help you compare prices of over 25 different companies. They are the independent agency that Scranton and Wilkes Barre prefer.

If you’re thinking of working with an independent agent, here are a few things to consider provided by the Progressive Insurance Company and the Florey Insurance Agency:

• What’s your lifestyle?

Many factors determine auto insurance rates, not just vehicle year, make and model. Companies also look at information about you. If you’ve recently moved, gotten married, had a birthday or experienced a similar life milestone, mention this to your independent agent, you may be eligible to save money on your car insurance.
Although having a new teenage driver usually means the auto insurance bill will go up, there are ways to save. We work with multiple companies and offer over 35 different discounts like the good student discount and if driver courses were taken.

• How old is your car?

You don’t always need the same level of physical damage coverage on older cars as on newer ones. If you drive an older car, independent agents can give you advice on what makes the most sense. But of course, if you want to keep your physical damage coverage, consider raising your deductible- that can save you money each year too.

• How can you save money on other types of vehicles?

If you have a motorcycle, boat and RV you might save money by having it covered by the same company that insures your car.
You may also want to consider separating your homeowner’s policy from your car insurance policy. Bundling your homeowner’s policy with your car insurance doesn’t always save you money. In some cases it may, but compare prices by separating the policies using an independent agent- the discount you may have gotten for keeping them together may be outweighed by the lower price another company might have for your car insurance.

Question: Do you need optional insurance when you’re renting a car?

You’re standing at the car rental counter waiting to start your vacation when you’re asked a tricky question. Do you want to buy damage waivers, also known as car rental insurance? How will you answer?

” Knowing if you need to buy rental insurance can save you money and give you peace of mind” says Rick Crawley with Progressive. Optional insurance could nearly double the cost of the rental. Do your homework and know before you go.”

Here are some pointers:

• Review your policy with your independent insurance agent. Your agent can evaluate your personal car insurance policy to find out if you are covered in a vacation rental car.

• Check with your credit card company. Some credit cards provide coverage at no charge if you use their card to pay for the rental. However, some restrictions may apply. Be sure to ask for an exact description of what’s covered.

• Take your insurance policy “Declarations Page” with you to the rental counter. You may be asked a question that these papers can answer. If you’re not sure of an answer, you’ll have your agent’s name and phone number readily available.

“Generally, if you have comprehensive, collision and liability coverages on your personal car insurance policy, there’s a good chance you’ll be covered in a rental car” says Crawley. ” Check with your agent to be sure. If you are covered, you would be liable only for the deductible on comprehensive and collision coverages, just like your personal vehicle”.

“I got quoted with a Progressive agent down the street, how can you guys give me cheaper Progressive rates than them?”

This happens all of the time. We are a signature agent which means we have the ability to offer additional discounts that other agents can not.

Yes and no. We are partnered with Progressive but we also have over 20 other companies as well. Such as Travelers, GMAC, Safeco, Encompass, Metlife, and so many more. This is our biggest advantage.
