How to be a Wise Insurance Customer

So you have an insurance policy.. now what?

Here are some tips from Mid-State Insurance for a wise insurance consumer:

1. Read your policy. - Auto insurance policies are legal contracts. It is written so that your rights and responsibilities, as well as those of the insurer, are clearly stated.
2. Know what your needs are and find an insurer that meets your needs. - Often times insurers insure more than just your car or home. Buy adequate coverage that services all of your insurance needs. 
3. Be safe. - In the long run, being a safe driver or homeowner is the best advice to keep your premiums low. Lower rates are generally paid by those who maintain a good driving record.
