Home insurance

For the average person, a home is easily the biggest purchase they'll ever make in their entire life. Your home could be anything - a condo, an apartment, a semi-attached, a duplex - regardless of what it is exactly, it needs insurance. While home insurance is not always required in Alberta, some residents who have mortgages may be obligated to purchase it as a part of their loan agreement. Home insurance insures against property damage, secures your family against liability risks, and protects your belongings at home. Most home insurance policies will insure against physical perils such as tornadoes, hurricanes, power outages, water damage, and much more. Depending on your circumstance, you may need more than the standard coverage. Our team is dedicated to meeting your needs.

Business insurance

Businesses exist in all shapes and sizes, industries, and they all do very different things. Any enterprise can benefit from having an all-encompassing business insurance policy to protect them from physical, liability, and other risks. It's a common misconception that smaller businesses do not need nor can benefit from having business insurance, but this is simply untrue. In fact, business insurance is even more necessary for smaller businesses, as these enterprises do not have the financial muscle needed to recoup from an unexpected loss. Continue serving your customers the way you know best and our insurance brokers in Spruce Grove will take care of the rest.

Why is having insurance in Spruce Grove important?

Let's be clear about one thing: more often than not, insurance is a recommendation, not a requirement. There are a lot of different reasons why insurance may or may not be required, but all you need to know is this: insurance is designed to protect your way of life, however that may be, and return you back to normal in the event of an accident or an unexpected loss. Yes, it comes at a cost, but when you work with a broker or insurance expert, you'll be guaranteed the best possible price for your situation. It's better to be safe than sorry, and there can be serious consequences that may result from not being insured - especially in instances where insurance is actually required.

It's good to be aware of the circumstances where insurance is required so you can be sure that you have not only purchased the necessary protection but that your policy aligns with what regulations demand of you. A broker can help with this. Even if insurance is only recommended, having it can be the difference between getting back to life as usual - as fast as possible - and having to change your goals/shift your perspective on the future to account for a major, unexpected financial loss.

Is having insurance in Spruce Grove mandatory?

In some cases, yes. In other cases, no. Auto insurance is one sample of an insurance product that is virtually always mandatory, but many other insurance products are only required under very specific circumstances. It's important to be aware of the regulations surrounding certain products and why it's crucial to acquire what's mandated of you. Here are some of the main types of insurance and the answer to the question, "is insurance required?":

Is having auto insurance in Spruce Grove required?

Yes. There's no way around this one. Insurance for your automobile is required in every province in Canada, and almost every state in the United States. The reason that car insurance is mandatory is to ensure that people who drive wouldn't be left without a means to support themselves or recover if they were involved in an accident where another driver was at fault.

In Alberta, drivers must carry accident benefits coverage as well as third-party liability insurance. Regulations are different in other provinces, and other provinces may also follow a system that combines public/private insurance, wherein the province supplies some mandatory coverage and the remaining insurance is purchased through private carriers.

Driving without auto insurance can result in some serious consequences. You could be fined, have your licence suspended, and could have your vehicle seized. If you fail to pay the fines you received for driving uninsured, you could face jail time. BrokerLink, thankfully, works with multiple top-notch carriers to get you insurance that complies with provincial regulations - and then some.

Is having home insurance in Spruce Grove required?

The province of Alberta does not require you to purchase home insurance. In layman's terms, this means that barring any external circumstances, you won't have to buy it. However, if you still have a mortgage, your financial institution or whatever lending company you have your mortgage through will require you to purchase insurance.

It might seem confusing. You would think that if your home was damaged, you would be the one left on the hook to pay the repair costs and your lender wouldn't have to think twice about it. But your lender wants you to have insurance to ensure that any damages or losses won't have an effect on the fair market value of the value (because insurance will guarantee that the losses are adequately repaired.)

With a mortgaged asset, you don't "fully" own that piece of property. Someone else, i.e., your financial institution, is invested in that asset. This is why they want you to have insurance for your home. Similar rules apply to tenant insurance. If you currently are a renter or are looking to rent, many landlords will have you purchase tenant insurance before you can sign a lease.

Is having business insurance in Spruce Grove required?

It can be, depending on your industry. For many small businesses, purchasing insurance is only a recommendation, and too many small business owners consider it too "large" of an expense to waste their starting resources on. But very few businesses have the financial resources necessary to recover from a loss if something unexpected should happen - especially the small businesses that never thought they'd need insurance.

Owning and operating a business is seriously hard work, and it takes a rock-solid, dedicated individual to man it all. You'll need to focus on a lot, from the short-term goals right in front of you to the long-term ones that you'll be faced with on an ongoing basis. Part of your business strategy should include the purchase of sufficient insurance coverage.

One of the biggest threats to businesses is liability claims, made by other businesses, clients or customers, or even by third parties. These claims, if taken to court, can bring on a whole host of unexpected legal expenses, and you may be on the hook for the injured party's medical bills or property damage expenses. Sufficient business insurance should protect your physical property, your liability, your sensitive data, your employees, and your lost income in the event your business encounters an insured event and is forced to temporarily close.

Saving money on your personal insurance in Spruce Grove

When it comes to any expenses in your personal or professional life, you'd rather be spending less than more. With insurance, there's no set price. This isn't always a bad thing - in fact, having no set price means that price can be manipulated, and it can be manipulated in your favour! Get the best auto, home, business, or any other type of insurance by working with an insurance broker in Spruce Grove, AB for all the greatest tips on how to save money on your policies. Since every provider is different, there's an opportunity around every corner.

Here are some of our top tips for how to save on your insurance rates in Spruce Grove:

Review coverage annually

Life changes, and so should our insurance. Because our needs can change on a dime, it's important that we do a review of our insurance each year, possibly with the aid of a broker, to ensure that our coverage still reflects our needs. Sometimes, we make renovations, we add a new family member, we change vehicles, vehicle usage changes - the list goes on - and those changes ought to be reflected in our coverage, or we risk underinsurance. Sometimes, we downsize, and we may be paying more for our insurance than we need to be. All this and more can be addressed by reviewing your coverage regularly.

Choose a higher deductible

Although having too high of a deductible can be bad news for those who might not have the financial health to reasonably pay out-of-pocket for an unexpected claim, raising your deductible amount within reason can be an excellent means to lowering your insurance costs. As your deductible is virtually your percentage of the risk shared between you and your insurer, assuming "more risk" can be a means to savings costs - as long as you feel confident about the amount you've chosen.

Bundle multiple policies

If you have multiple policies, such as home insurance and auto insurance, consider switching these policies over so that they are insured under the same insurance provider. By choosing to purchase through the same company, you may qualify for that company's "return customer" bundling discount and receive a reduction of 10-15% per policy. Not all policies will qualify for bundle discounts, like pet. Consider asking your broker about the benefits of switching to having all your insurance under one provider.

Go green

Going green is a lot of people's goal, especially considering the current state of the world and how many ongoing initiatives are prompting people to be more environmentally friendly. The insurance industry is no exception to this movement, and many insurance companies are now prompting their policyholders to choose green by offering discounts for drivers who own a hybrid or purely electric vehicles. These vehicles are dominating our roads, and all for good reason. They emit half or even a third of the carbon emissions that gas-powered vehicles do. Most companies will offer a 10% discount for driving an EV or a hybrid car.
