With temperatures (slowly) starting to rise, #spring is on its way! While you may be eager to leave winter behind you, when it comes to car care, don't forget to wash away winter's affects. Rust damage from salted roads is not covered under your car insurance, since it is considered wear and tear. Give your car a good wash before you hit the road for some spring driving to avoid rusting. #InsuraTip

After #Stella, today will be any icy one! If you own a home, make sure to clear all steps and pathways to prevent slips and falls on your property. If someone is injured on your property, luckily, liability coverage in a homeowners insurance policy usually can be used to protect you from lawsuits for bodily injury. Liability limits usually start at about $100,000, according to the Insurance Information Institute. If you have significant assets, you may want to buy an umbrella policy or an excess liability policy through your insurer. #InsuraTip More information is #ontheblog!

Spring means... spring cleaning! Now that it is finally spring, you may be thinking about when you'll get around to giving your home a thorough cleaning. #Springcleaning is the perfect time to assess your personal belongings and donate or throw away things that have worn out or you just don't use anymore. If you'll be cleaning out your closets or simplifying this spring, you may want to take a look at your home inventory and see if you can lower your contents coverage limits. With less stuff to protect, you could save some money on your homeowners insurance premium! #InsuraTip

With spring rains, conditions can deteriorate on the roads. Stay vigilant to stay safe - reduce your speed, turn on your headlights and leave plenty of space between you and other cars on the road. Should you get into an accident because of the rain or #hydroplaning, your collision coverage and liability coverage will kick in. Talk with your agent this #spring to make sure you have suitable limits for both coverages. #InsuraTip
