Q: What coverage is required when leasing a car?

A: If you're leasing a vehicle, the requirements are usually a bit higher than standard coverage. In most cases, you'll need liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and the leasing company may need to be listed on your policy. We're always happy to walk you through exactly what's needed. Cathy is proud to serve the St Petersburg community.

Q: How does a life insurance policy actually function?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. As long as coverage remains active, it can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Serving St Petersburg and the surrounding area, Cathy can help answer your questions.

Q: What is renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. Have questions? Cathy in St Petersburg can walk you through your options.

Q: Do you have to have home insurance?

A: Homeowners insurance requirements may vary by your state and situation. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require coverage, and many homeowners choose it for added protection. Cathy works with St Petersburg residents to find coverage that fits.
