Island Insurance is an independent insurance brokerage that offers home, auto, business, marine, life, and several other insurance options through a network of partners. Go to the Service Area tab to know more about us.

To lower your insurance premium, you’ll have to ask your broker to do the following:

• They could increase your share of the claim by increasing the amount you’re paying. This will also decrease the premium
• You buy a car that has a lower insurance rating
• You bundle your home insurance and car insurance policies
• You forego collision coverage on an older vehicle

A deductible is a portion you’re responsible for if there’s a claim. For instance, if your insurance policy has a deductible of $1,000 and the damages were of $7,000, you’re going to pay $1,000, and your insurance company will cover the rest.

At Island Insurance, we assess your insurance needs based on the information you provide to us about your vehicle, home, business, and other assets. If you’re opting for home insurance, letting us know of the complete inventory in your home will help get you the most appropriate coverage for your particular case. In the case of insurance, the more information you provide, the better.

Collision coverage can protect your car when damaged in an accident. If you’re at fault in an accident, our auto insurance policies can protect you from paying hefty costs. Collision coverage can also help you pay for storage and towing even when you caused the crash. However, collision coverage is optional in our insurance clauses.
