Prepared Insurance Agency • August 23, 2023

From gadgets to class commutes, we've got you covered.

Summer's sun-soaked days are winding down, and the school bell's sweet chime is just around the corner. As parents, you're getting ready to equip your kids for another exciting year of learning. Amidst the hustle and bustle of back-to-school preparations, let's not forget about the importance of insurance coverage. 📚


1. Protect Valuable Items: 📱 Modern education often involves tech gadgets like laptops and tablets. Make sure these valuable items are covered by your insurance in case they're lost, stolen, or damaged. Keep a record of their serial numbers and purchase receipts, which could be a lifesaver if you need to file a claim.


2. Liability Coverage: 🛡️ If your child is heading off to college and living in a dormitory or apartment, liability coverage becomes crucial. It can protect you in case your child accidentally damages the property or causes harm to others. Be sure to understand the scope of this coverage and consider adjusting it if needed.


3. Auto Insurance Considerations: 🚗 If your child is taking a car to college or driving to school, review your auto insurance policy. Different locations might have different insurance requirements or rates. Ensure your child's coverage aligns with their new situation and explore any available discounts for students.


4. Renters Insurance for Students: 🔒 For students living off-campus, renters insurance is a smart investment. It provides coverage for personal belongings in case of theft or damage, and some policies also include liability coverage. It's a small cost for peace of mind regarding your child's possessions.


5. Chat with Your Insurance Agent: 📞💬 Before the school year begins, take a moment to reach out to your insurance agent. We can provide guidance on policy adjustments, recommend suitable coverage options, and address any concerns you might have about insuring your child's journey through the school year.


As you gear up for another chapter of education and growth, remember that insurance coverage is an essential part of ensuring your child's well-being and your family's financial security. By giving these insurance tips some thought, you're setting the stage for a successful and worry-free school year. 🏫
