After all, you never need insurance… until you do.

3 Ways to Insure All Your Cool Stuff
There are a variety of ways to insure cool stuff with Higgins Insurance. Depending on where your cool stuff is categorized, you’ll want to consider these three types of insurance to get the absolute most out of your policy.
Auto Insurance
When most individuals think of insurance, auto insurance is the first thing to come to mind. While auto insurance is a must-have for anyone with a vehicle they use daily, it is also a good idea for cool stuff, such as classic cars.
Even if it’s not a vehicle that you utilize on a day-to-day basis, you want to ensure you are taking each of the necessary steps to protect your investments. There is a difference between traditional auto insurance and classic car insurance.
While you’ll still be offered the standard coverage options, such as liability for bodily injury/property damage, comprehensive coverage, and collision coverage, the use of your vehicle will determine your policy.
For instance, a classic car isn’t defined as a policy holder’s primary vehicle. Instead, it is a secondary unit that requires minimal use. Other differences include agreed value coverage without appraisal, classic car expert claims support, course of rebuild coverage and more. additional coverage for auto show medical reimbursement, no attendance required coverage and coverage for spare parts.
Recreational Insurance
Recreational insurance is a policy that helps to protect your recreational property. This can include anything from motorhomes, motorcycles, a summer cottage, boat, or even a snowmobile.
Depending on what cool stuff needs to be insured, policy owners often pair recreational insurance with either their auto or home insurance to ensure they are getting the most out of their coverage options. Depending on what type of recreational coverage you need, there are several coverage options you’ll want to consider, including:
- Uninsured motorist coverage
- Collision coverage
- Property protection
- Bodily injury liability
- Property damage liability
- Specialized coverages
It’s important to note, however, that while many policyholders may pair their home or auto insurance with recreational insurance, they are still two very different policies. For instance, your auto policy will not cover the same things should you crash your ATV. So, you must talk to a professional before settling on any insurance policy.
Home Insurance
Sure, home insurance is a must-have if you own a home or are renting a condo or apartment. You know just how vital it is to protect your primary residence with the help of home insurance. However, did you know that you can and should include your other rental properties, secondary homes, and/or your vacation condo in your home insurance policy?
It doesn’t matter if it’s your primary residence, seasonal home, or even a mobile home – you need to protect your investments adequately. This is especially true for locations where you can’t be there to monitor all that is going on.
Having the right home insurance can help protect you and your belongings from anything from water damage to theft and property damage. In some cases, your primary home insurance policy may cover a secondary home. So, you’ll want to revisit your policy.
There are many cases where your primary home insurance policy may not cover a secondary home. If that is the case, then you’ll want to make sure your policy covers not only the structure of your home but also includes personal liability coverage. Many homeowners choose an umbrella insurance policy, along with other supplemental insurance policies to cover things such as natural disasters.
