Why do you need us? https://www.jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com Weather its home, auto, life, or commercial insurance your shopping for it can be confusing, and if your not working with an experienced insurance agency it can lead to large exposures. See more times then not we find that price becomes all too important to our competitors and potential clients, and in doing so they cut coverages that you really need. Insurance agents forget that their whole purpose is to help the client make the right decision, and help them protect their livelihood. When doing insurance quotes through most of the companies I work with I find that having higher limits doesn't change the cost that much, and in doing so you are better protected. For example I did a quote for someone today that had $25,000 per person/$50,000 overall for bodily injure, and $25,000 for property damage. That means if they hit someone and they were at fault they would only have $25,000 for each person they hurt in the car they hit but a maximum of $50,000 for all the people you hurt, and will only have $25,000 for any property you damage. Let's hope you don't total pretty much any car that's a 2017 or newer, and some older. But what a lot of people don't realize by being too focused on price is that it might cost an extra $5 a month sometimes less than that to have double the limits. Even deductibles I'll find someone who might beat our company on price by a small margin, but find out later they sold them $500 deductibles on comp. and collision. Collision I can understand, but on comprehensive for a few extra dollars a month you could have a $100 deductible or less. The most common claim out there is a rock flinging up and cracking your windshield. If it has to be replaced which most of the time if it's spread at all it does. Then hopefully you had an agent that cared like we do, and advised you well, because if you have a $500 deductible most of those claims you'll be paying out of pocket. If you had a $100 deductible or less you could have one windshield replaced every 8-10 years and the coverage would still pay for itself, one! if you have multiples over an 8-10 year span.. not uncommon especially if you live anywhere near my area! Then it would reallyyy pay for itself. Homeowners insurance starts to get a little more complex, with more options than auto insurance has to tailor your plan. Things like water backup, ordinance & law coverage... wait what in the world is ordinance & law coverage. There's so much that can go wrong or be left out, and that's why you need us.

After taking a few minutes to shop the policy with several carriers, we were able to save him over $1,000 a year on his auto insurance — while still keeping strong coverage in place.

Many people don’t realize that insurance rates can change from year to year. Sometimes simply having someone review your policy can uncover significant savings.

If you’ve had the same auto insurance for a few years, it might be worth taking a quick look to see if anything better is available.

We’re always happy to review policies and make sure our community is getting the best value and protection possible.

]]> ⚠️ Cheaper insurance online isn’t always better. https://www.jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1/view/1010 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:15:00 CST https://www.jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1?blogm=view&blogid=1010 ?? Cheaper insurance online isn’t always better.

Recently I spoke with someone who wanted to cancel his insurance because he had purchased a policy online that looked much cheaper. After reviewing the policy with him, we discovered it was missing several important coverages — including rental coverage, new car replacement, towing for auto. Home was missing water damage medical plus more adequate protection in the event of an accident.

Many times, online policies look cheaper because certain coverages are reduced or removed. Everything may seem fine until the day you actually need to use your insurance.

That’s why it’s always a good idea to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples and understand exactly what your policy covers.

If you ever have questions about your coverage or want a second opinion, it never hurts to ask. A few minutes reviewing a policy today can save a lot of stress later.

As a local family-owned agency, when you contact us you’ll always speak with the same people you know and trust. No buttons to push and no call centers.

]]> 2026 https://www.jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1/view/1004 Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:52:00 CST https://www.jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1?blogm=view&blogid=1004 It seems like 2026 has already brought so much heartache. We’ve seen well-known faces pass, friends in our own circles gone too soon, and even troubling news involving Nancy Guthrie. It can feel heavy.

In times like these, I’m reminded of Psalm 90:12 (KJV):

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”

None of us know what tomorrow holds, but we do know Who holds tomorrow. And part of walking in wisdom is preparing well for the people God has entrusted to us.

That means:

• Making sure you have life insurance outside of work — because when you leave your job, your coverage usually leaves too.
• Locking in your rate now — life insurance increases in cost every year as we age. Securing it before your next birthday can save you money long term.
• Protecting your home with security systems that may even qualify you for insurance discounts while adding peace of mind.

Preparation isn’t a lack of faith — it’s stewardship. It’s one of the ways we love our families well.

If you’d like to review your coverage or get a quote, I’m here to help.
