Mobile Home Insurance
Reader’s Question:
Hi, we just purchased our first insurance policy for our mobile home. Our attorney here in Arivaca, Arizona suggested that we should consider getting an umbrella policy. What’s that? And do you think that’s better than just the mobile home insurance policy?
Janis,

Getting an insurance policy for your mobile home is a good thing! This policy generally covers any incidents or accidents that involve you, your family, your houseguests and your mobile home and even your pets up to a certain limit (let’s say $100,000)! That’s already great coverage!
The purpose of the umbrella policy is to add to your homeowner’s insurance. This deals with today’s sky – rocketing medical costs and legal fees due to catastrophic and unforeseen accidents. This helps you have peace of mind because you know you are fully covered, as the umbrella policy works well with your homeowner’s policy. It also costs reasonable too.
Your insurance agent in Arizona should be able to discuss the details with you in order to determine the premium cost and amount of coverage that’s appropriate for you.
As you go about with the planning and decision making regarding adding an umbrella policy to your current mobile home insurance, make sure to that you have read and understood all details regarding the terms and conditions of your insurance. This is for you to make sure that you get the best deal out of your money! Enjoy!

Car Insurance Using PO BOX Address Florida FL
Reader’s Question:
Is it possible to get car insurance with just PO Box Address only?
Michelle
Orlando Florida
Generally, most car insurance providers will require a physical address and not just a PO box to when you purchase a car insurance policy. Your location is used to determine your car insurance rate so if you only use a PO Box address, they cannot rate you properly.
Typically car insurance providers do not want to insure automobiles that do not have a permanent address. If you are living in an RV and do not have a permanent address, you will likely need to search for a car insurance provider that specializes in mobile home insurance.
Most car insurance companies in Florida require a physical address because they need to know know where your residence is so they can quote a car insurance policy using your address location.

Mobile Home Insurance Question
Reader’s Question:
The nest is empty! Everything is changing. Retirement is near. My bride and I are anxious to see what we can do to control our costs. I was surprised by the cost of our mobile homeowners insurance. We now own our home free and clear and over the past 30 years, we have never had a claim. Any suggestions?

Congratulations, Clyde!
Mobile home insurance should be reviewed regularly. There are some pretty conventional ways to reduce your premiums. Look closely at any riders and see if they are still relevant. Your homeowners insurance has a standard deductible. With your track record, you may consider increasing that deductible to as much as $1,000.00 or could be more. This will dramatically reduce your premiums.
You can also make some improvements to your home. How about considering a security system? Installation should reduce the cost of your homeowners insurance. Don’t forget about smoke detectors. Sounds like you may have purchased your home before they were mandatory.
Over the years, you may have spread your insurances to various carriers. Some providers discount homeowners insurance if other coverages are consolidated with them.
As your mortgage is paid, you have a little more flexibility than most property owners. Most likely, your homeowners insurance provides for certain disasters. You should review these items and consider eliminating unlikely occurrences from your mobile home insurance policy. This can also definitely lower your premium. Be prudent, be safe at this very happy time. Again, congratulations Clyde.

We have just upgraded our kitchen and decorated our mobile home. What should we know about cheap mobile home insurance policy in Arizona? Thank you.

Great question, Adam!
Too many mobile homeowners purchase their policy when they buy their mobile house and automatically renew their coverage, leaving it to the carrier to increase their mobile homeowners coverage by the standard rate of inflation. Unfortunately, this rarely keeps pace with the actual cost of replacement. It is the important to consider this when adjusting your mobile homeowners policy.
Remember the difference between market value, which includes actual replacement cost of the mobile home are very different. For example, when you recently remodeled your kitchen, you most likely upgraded appliances, countertops and cabinets. You will need to factor their actual replacement cost and the replacement cost of other added features into your mobile homeowners policy.
As you are aware of changes to your mobile home, you should review your mobile homeowners policy each year. Make sure you have taken into account anything that might affect replacement cost. Do not wait for something to go wrong.
Adam, you should discuss replacement cost with your insurance representative in Arizona, a local appraiser or a local builder’s association. Once you have modified your coverage, you will be able to fully enjoy the peace of mind knowing that this very important investment is covered by your mobile insurance policy.
