Car insurance isn’t just for vehicle owners. It’s for everyone who wants liability coverage for vehicles not titled to them. To meet this need, some companies offer special policies called non-owner car insurance or non-owner liability policies. Unlike a traditional auto insurance policy attached to a specific vehicle, this type of coverage applies directly to drivers so they have bodily injury liability and property damage liability protection when driving any vehicle. How Non-owner Car Insurance Works Non-owner coverage isn’t available in every state, and non-owner policies vary widely from state to state, but the general concept is the same; they…

It’s included automatically at no extra charge when a booking is made; you don’t need to select this option when checking out or creating a listing. If a serious situation arises and neither party is able to resolve it, you can escalate the issue to customer service and Airbnb can offer a solution — for example, a refund for a guest who feels unsafe.However, guests who are forced to take a refund may face issues with…

When did you first hear about life insurance? Was it because you knew one or both of your parents owned a policy? Or, was it when you got a new job and found out a small policy is part of your work benefits? For me, it was when I started my job at Haven Life. These scenarios are common ways most people learn about or interact with life insurance for the first time. But this brief interaction with life insurance often doesn’t provide enough clarity for people to understand the value of (and need for) life insurance in certain situations.…

It’s always important for people to compare plans during Medicare open enrollment from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, but it’s even more critical this year. There are changes coming to Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and you should make sure you understand how your plan will cover you — or not — in 2025. “People think they don’t need to review their plans every year, and that couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Kari Vogt, a certified financial planner and licensed insurance agent in Columbia, Missouri. “You might not change your plan every year,…

It’s easy to pass on insurance, especially when you’re young. Insurance premiums can feel like money going nowhere. It’s especially hard to fit them into the budget when you already have a mountain of debt to pay off, your salary is modest or low, and you’re healthy. Insurance can also be confusing. What types of insurance should you get? How much coverage? How do you choose from all the options? Furthermore, who can you turn to for help? Insurance agents can seem just about as trustworthy as used car salesmen. Let me tell you a secret: choosing insurance for yourself…

Are you a fan of Europe’s “The Final Countdown”? Well, if you’ve ever been ashamed of playing ‘80s stadium rock over and over and over, I’ve got good news: you’re encouraged to play it now, because it’s the final countdown to health insurance coverage. What do I mean? Well, you might know that right now is Open Enrollment for Obamacare. It’s the only time, barring Special Enrollment Periods, that you can buy health insurance coverage for 2017.

People with Medicare Part D have a new way to pay out-of-pocket costs such as copays, coinsurance and deductibles for prescription drugs starting in 2025: the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan. The plan works similar to a “buy now, pay later” option for covered prescription drugs. The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan allows Medicare beneficiaries to spread out-of-pocket costs for covered prescription drugs over the course of the remaining calendar year. It might be a compelling option, especially for Part D beneficiaries who incur significant out-of-pocket costs early in the year.Who’s eligible for the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan?The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan…
