Q1: Do I need to visit an office to get insurance in Foley?
A1: No. Coffey Agencies handles everything digitally—quotes, policy binding, ID cards, and claims support happen online or by phone. Our Centre office is about 300 miles away, but Foley clients receive the same responsive service. Call 251-551-1350 or request a quote online.
Q2: Does standard homeowners insurance cover hurricane damage in Foley?
A2: Standard homeowners policies cover wind damage from hurricanes, but most carriers apply separate hurricane deductibles (typically 2-5% of dwelling coverage) that trigger during named storms. Critically, standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage—that requires a separate flood insurance policy.
Q3: Do I need flood insurance if I'm not in a FEMA flood zone?
A3: Foley properties face a 1-in-4 flood risk even outside FEMA-designated high-risk zones. Hurricane Sally flooded areas throughout Baldwin County in 2020, including many not mapped as high-risk. We strongly recommend flood insurance regardless of your official flood zone designation.
Q4: What bundle savings are available for Foley residents?
A4: Bundling home and auto insurance typically saves 15-25% on premiums, up to $600 annually. Foley residents can maximize savings by combining multiple policies, whether insuring a home near OWA Parks and vehicles for daily commutes, or protecting a condo with auto coverage for beach trips. For renters, Foley renters insurance quotes are available and bundling renters insurance in Foley, AL with your auto policy provides the same 15-25% savings, making it an affordable way to protect your belongings while saving on both policies.
Q5: How much can I save by bundling home and auto insurance in Foley?
A5: Most carriers offer 15-25% discounts when you bundle home (or renters or condo) and auto policies. For a typical Foley household, that translates to $400-$800 in annual savings given coastal premium levels. We quote both separately and bundled so you can see the actual numbers.
Q6: What should snowbirds know about insurance in Foley?
A6: If you spend part of the year in Alabama and part elsewhere, coverage structure matters. We can help coordinate auto insurance that accounts for multi-state residency and homeowners coverage for seasonal occupancy. Some carriers offer premium credits for homes unoccupied during hurricane season.
Q7: Do you insure Gulf Shores and Orange Beach condos?
A7: Yes. Condo insurance (HO-6) covers your unit's interior, personal property, and liability—filling gaps in your HOA's master policy. For beachfront condos, wind and flood coverage are particularly critical given direct Gulf exposure.
Q8: Do you offer motorcycle insurance in Foley?
A8: Yes. Motorcycle insurance covers liability, collision, and comprehensive protection. Baldwin County's year-round riding weather and coastal roads make coverage particularly valuable here. Comprehensive coverage also protects against storm damage during hurricane season.
Q9: How quickly can I get coverage started?
A9: Same-day coverage is available for most auto, renters, and motorcycle policies. Homeowners and condo coverage typically binds within 24-48 hours depending on inspection requirements. Call 251-551-1350 during business hours and we can often have policy documents before end of day.
