Kin is entering the California market because of its wildfire risk, not in spite of it.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
September 29, 2020

Kin Insurance, the insurance technology company reinventing home insurance for those most impacted by climate change, announced it will begin serving homeowners throughout California. Now Californians can use Kin’s online platform to get homeowners insurance quotes in minutes, customize their coverage, and get insured online or over the phone.

Kin is expanding into California in response to the state’s unprecedented increase in wildfire activity and the strain it has created for many homeowners. In 2018, insurance claims for California’s wildfire season reached $12 billion, and after recent wildfires, including the 2018 Camp Fire, many Californians weren’t eligible to renew their policies with their existing insurance company before the insurance commissioner put a one-year cancelation ban in place. Last year, an estimated 350,000 California home and business owners were unable to get property and casualty insurance at all.

“Kin is entering the California market because of its wildfire risk, not in spite of it,” said Sean Harper, co-founder and CEO of Kin. “We’re ready to put our technology to work for Californians, ensuring they have an affordable, private-market coverage option.”

Kin built its platform from the ground up to instantly access and assess thousands of property data points about each home, sparing homeowners from answering complicated questions when applying for coverage. With its multiple radii-based exposure accumulator, Kin can determine a home’s true disaster exposure within a few miles of the home. This ensures coverage is priced accurately and fairly, reflecting the home’s actual risk.

With its emphasis on customer service and innovation, Kin is proud to serve homeowners in need of easy, affordable coverage. Kin’s entry into California is backed by Falls Lake Fire and Casualty Company, rated A (Excellent) by A.M. Best, and through a partnership with Digital Partners, a Munich Re company.

“Digital Partners is excited to partner with insurtechs like Kin who are innovating data utilization and digitalizing the insurance value chain,” said Dave Brune, North American CEO, Digital Partners, a Munich Re company. “Our goal is to provide support through a comprehensive, go-to-market partnership combining the financial strength and expertise of Munich Re with the ingenuity of Kin.”

Terry McCafferty, CEO of Falls Lake Insurance, said, “Falls Lake is excited to team up with Kin and Digital Partners to provide coverage and solutions to managing the unique risks facing California homeowners. Kin’s distribution strategy, unique platform, and ability to understand risk at the location level is unique and best in class, and it presents a great opportunity to continue to expand our fronting business.”

The financial strength of this partnership ensures consumers and their claims are protected in the event of a widespread catastrophe. With its track record of consumer transparency and financial health, Kin is eager to serve Californians and bring affordable, easy insurance options to the state’s insurance market.

“Bundling policies is one of the most efficient methods used by drivers to save money on car insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 29, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can save car insurance money if they bundle multiple insurance policies.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-can-you-save-money-by-bundling-different-insurance-services/.

Drivers who are looking to purchase both car insurance and home insurance are usually wondering if they can save money if they combine these policies into a single one. Bundling policies is one of the easiest methods used by drivers in order to save money on car insurance. Besides bundling car insurance with home insurance, drivers can combine other policies like life, health, or boat insurance. Insurance companies will always be glad to get as many insurance policies as possible and depending on the number and the value of the insured assets, the policyholders can get significant discounts.

Drivers who are bundling multiple policies can enjoy the following benefits:

• Significant discounts. Drivers who manage to bundle two policies, for example, car insurance and home insurance. can get a discount that is as high as 15% on most insurers that offer these types of discounts. The discounts can be higher and they can reach amounts that can be as much as 30% of insurance costs for policyholders who bundle at least three insurance policies to the same insurance provider.
• Drivers can save time by bundling. Saving time should be important for anyone. Policyholders who bundle their policies will save precious time because they will have to deal with only one insurance provider and will avoid working with multiple insurance companies. Also, policyholders will have to pay just one bill and at the same place. Drivers who have multiple problems with their policies can have them all solved by going to a single location.
• One insurance agent. Another advantage of bundling multiple policies to a single insurer is the possibility of dealing with a single insurance agent. This agent can help the policyholders when they have difficulties understanding some insurance terms and they can also advise them regarding their policy needs. Also, the insurance agent can look for savings and they can recommend additional insurance options that policyholders might need.

“Finding a good insurance company can be quite difficult. Nevertheless, drivers who know what to do and where to look can easily find a reliable insurance provider that can satisfy their needs”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 28, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can find a reliable car insurance company.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/tips-to-find-a-good-car-insurance-carrier/

Drivers looking for car insurance should ensure that they are also choosing a reliable insurance company. While drivers need a reliable vehicle, they also need a reliable insurer. A reliable insurance company will be able to provide the services the policyholder pays for it. Finding a reliable car insurance company is not an easy task.

While looking for a reliable car insurance company, drivers should consider the next tips:

• 
  Avoid being scammed. Before looking for insurance, drivers can avoid being scammed by checking several sites that report scamming attempts and scams. Insurance providers that want to sell policies in a state are required to have a license. Drivers can check the local Department of Insurance website in order to find out what insurance companies are licensed to sell policies in their areas.
• Search for financially strong providers. Insurance carriers that are financially strong will have no problems to pay the claims made by their customers. Some independent rating agencies can help drivers find out which insurer is financially strong. A.M. Best, Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s are known for the accuracy of their ratings.
• Pick an insurer that has a high customer satisfaction rating. Every year J.D. Power is releasing a US auto insurance study. J.D. Power is rating the car insurance companies on this list based on interaction, policy offerings, price, billing process, and policy information, and claims.
• Choose an insurance company that has few complaints. Drivers can visit the Better Business Bureau site to find the complaint ratios of insurance companies. Insurance providers are rated from A+ to F.
