❓ Domande frequenti

What's the difference between homeowners and renters insurance?
Homeowners = covers structure (house itself), contents, liability. Renters = covers only renter's belongings + liability, not building. Homeowners more expensive, more complex underwriting.
How do insurers calculate home insurance premiums?
Factors: location (crime, fire risk), age/construction of house, claims history, coverage amount, deductible. Algorithms weight each factor. AI models now predicting claims likelihood from satellite imagery, historical data.
What's a deductible?
Amount homeowner pays before insurance covers the rest. Example: $1000 deductible means homeowner pays first $1000 of claim, insurer pays remainder. Higher deductible = lower premium.
What doesn't homeowners insurance cover?
Floods, earthquakes, wear and tear, neglect. You need separate flood insurance. Earthquakes require add-on. Most policies don't cover 'acts of God' broadly, exceptions exist.
How do insurers investigate claims?
Adjuster inspects damage, estimates repair cost, verifies coverage. Fraud investigators check for suspicious claims (damage before policy started, falsified estimates). Process takes 1-3 weeks for simple claims.
How do I reduce home insurance rates?
Increase deductible, bundle with auto insurance, improve home security (alarm, locks), pay annual (not monthly), maintain clean claims history, ask about discounts (age, occupation, loyalty).
