Q: What coverage is required when leasing a car?

A: Leased cars typically require liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and the leasing company may need to be listed on your policy. Looking for coverage? Talk with Aleene about your options in Santa Cruz.

Q: What happens when you have life insurance in place?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. As long as coverage remains active, it can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Aleene is proud to serve the Santa Cruz community.

Q: Do you need to carry insurance on your home?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Serving Santa Cruz and the surrounding area, Aleene can help answer your questions.

Q: How would you explain renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting. Since your landlord's policy typically covers the building itself, this type of coverage is designed to help protect you and the things you own. Have questions? Aleene in Santa Cruz can walk you through your options.
