Get Insurance Savvy
In Kentucky, there are two main types of homeowners' insurance. A named peril policy provides coverage for a specific list of events, and an open peril policy provides coverage for all events except those named in the exclusion clause. The latter likely costs more, but protects your home against more events.
Two Kinds of Named Peril Policies:
Basic Coverage Perils: Covers fire, lightening, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, or civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, vandalism and theft.
Broad Coverage Perils: Covers all basic perils, as well as falling objects, weight of snow, snow or sleet, building collapse and accidental flooding.
The Policies
- Special Policy The most popular Kentucky home insurance, this special policy insures your home against most broad coverage perils.
- Broad Policy/Basic Policy: Insures your home against loss or damage caused by broad coverage perils. There is also a version available for mobile homes
- Comprehensive Policy: Although more expensive and less widely offered it provides the broadest coverage for your home—against any event except those named in the exclusion clause.
- Modified Coverage Policy: If you live in an older home or one that doesn't comply with certain Kentucky home insurance standards, this type of policy may be for you. Payouts are based on actual cash value.
- Tenants/Renters Policy: This protects your personal property against broad coverage perils. Like homeowners' policies, it pays medical expenses, living expenses and liability coverage.
- Condominium Owners' Policy: Because in most cases the condominium association owns the building, this type of insurance will cover the part of the building you own—your condo! It also insures any additions you've made. Like a homeowners' policy, it pays medical expenses, living expenses and liability coverage.
Be a Frugal Shopper
Kentucky home insurance can be a tad pricey. There are some things to keep in mind that may help you save a dime.
- Shop Til' You Drop: You should get at least three price quotes when shopping insurance. It is also wise to go through a third party company, like InsureMe, that will provide unbiased information and answer your questions honestly.
- Raise Your Deductible: A deductible is the amount you pay before the insurance company begins to pay your claim. Your premium payments will be lower if you raise your deductible to at least $500.
- Disaster Proof Your Pad: Something as simple as adding storm windows and shatterproof glass may save you money on your premiums. To reduce the risk of fire or water damage, think about renovating old heating, plumbing and electrical systems.
