Q1: Do I need to visit your office to get insurance in Rome?

Q2: How significant is flood risk near the river confluence?
A2: Properties near the Oostanaula, Etowah, and Coosa river confluence face elevated flood risks, particularly during spring storms. Standard homeowners policies don't cover flood damage, making separate flood insurance crucial for properties in these areas. We analyze FEMA flood maps for your specific address to determine risk levels and coverage needs.
Q3: What bundle savings are available for Rome residents?
A3: Bundling home and auto insurance typically saves 15-25% on premiums, up to $600 annually. Rome residents can maximize savings by combining multiple policies, whether insuring a home in Garden Lakes and vehicles for work commutes, or protecting a property in North Rome with auto coverage.
Q4: What are Georgia's minimum auto insurance requirements?
A4: Georgia requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/25: $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage. While these minimums make your policy legal, they often aren't enough to fully protect you in a serious accident. Medical bills from a single injury can easily exceed $25,000, and vehicle repairs often cost more than $25,000 for newer cars. Local traffic patterns throughout Rome and surrounding Floyd County, including Highway 411 and routes connecting to I-75, often warrant higher limits for adequate protection. We typically recommend at least 50/100/50 limits, plus matching uninsured motorist coverage, especially given that Georgia has a significant rate of uninsured drivers. Higher limits cost relatively little more but provide substantially better protection for Rome area drivers.
Q5: How does tornado season affect insurance premiums?
A5: Northwest Georgia's tornado risks influence homeowners insurance rates in Rome. Premiums reflect elevated risk during peak season (March-May), but proper coverage ensures protection when severe weather strikes. Wind and hail deductibles may apply separately from standard deductibles.
Q6: Do students at Berry College or Shorter University have special insurance needs?
A6: Students and young adults often benefit from good student discounts on auto insurance. We can help structure policies that provide adequate coverage while managing costs for college-age drivers. Academic achievement can translate to meaningful premium savings.
