Not all insurance companies are the same.
A common question is if things are stolen from the car if they are covered.
There are a few things to consider with this question and that includes if you have a full coverage policy with your car, home owners or renters insurance, and more.
When something is stolen from your car that is worth a lot of money you may be able to claim it with one of your insurance policies.
When you have a full coverage policy with your car it is common you will be required to pay the car insurance premium and the value of your items will be paid to you.
Full coverage usually pays for everything on your vehicle while it is parked from weather or theft and even collision.
Comprehensive coverage is usually included in a full coverage for automobiles.
Comprehensive insurance is additional coverage that takes total care of a car.
This coverage will cover items inside of your car and even pay for a new paint job if you have hail damage.
Home owners or renters insurance doesn't necessarily protect your vehicles on the property of your home.
If you work out of your car and commonly carry expensive items around in your car then it may be something you can add onto your policy.
However, most insurance companies recommend this type of coverage is provided through your required automobile coverage.
If you commonly drive around with things in your car that are very expensive there are a couple of things you can do.
The first thing you need to do is by GPS vehicle tracking software.
This will allow you to locate your vehicle if it is stolen and it may even lower your car insurance premium.
You need to specifically ask the insurance companies when you are comparing auto insurance policies for coverage for your personal property.
You also will need to specify the dollar amount of personal property you would like covered.
The higher you go the more your policy may be.
If you are looking for the most affordable auto insurance and that is what you usually pay for then you will not have coverage for your personal property inside of the vehicle if it is stolen.
Many companies may practice intentional misrepresentation and say things that sound like personal items are covered.
Always verify before you purchase the coverage.
If you are looking for coverage for your personal property because you are forced to park on the street, live in your car, drive around with expensive items in your car, or something else then you need to compare car insurance rates.
The coverage you should ask for is a full coverage policy with comprehensive coverage.
Verify the coverage will pay you if things are stolen to replace items in your car.
Remember, whenever you call an insurance company to file a claim for stolen items you will be required to pay the deductible set by the company and you must be caught up on your car insurance premium.
This will also raise your monthly payment on your car insurance.
