Paperless Discounts & Benefits

July 30th, 2015 — Martinson Agency LLC — Chaska, MN

Recently, insurance companies have started offering a paperless billing option. By electing to go paperless, you will stop receiving your bills and documents by mail. Instead, you will receive them via your preferred e-mail. This helps to reduce clutter, provides 24/7 access to your account and can also help you save on your premium. Many insurance companies are now offering a discount for anyone who chooses to go paperless.

Reduce Clutter & Save Paper

The most obvious advantage that a paperless policy provides is the fact that it saves paper & benefits the environment. All of your important insurance documents are stored securely online and can be printed whenever you need them. Enrolling in a paperless program will benefit the environment while providing convenience for you at the same time.

24/7 Access

A paperless policy also means you aren’t stuck waiting for important documents to arrive via U.S. Mail. Whenever you make a change to your policy a confirmation message will be sent directly to your e-mail inbox. This means you will have 24/7 access to new insurance identification cards, payment receipts and billing schedules. When you enroll in the paperless program you will create a unique user ID and password and will be able to access your account from any computer or mobile device.

Automatic Payments

Enrolling in an automated monthly payment plan is another way to save money on your auto insurance. By choosing an automated payment plan you will no longer need to send a payment by mail. Instead, your monthly payment will be automatically deducted from a credit card or a checking/savings account on its due date. This is a discount that will stay with you throughout the life of the policy.

Adding a paperless discount and automatic payments to your current policy can help you save now and in the future. If you have any questions about how to add these discounts or to receive a comprehensive insurance review, please give the Martinson Agency in Chaska, MN a call today!

Driving Under the Influence Will Cost You

Driving Under the Influence Will Cost You

September 25th, 2015 — Martinson Agency LLC — Chaska, MN

Nothing good comes from getting behind the wheel of a car while you’re intoxicated. You put other people as well as yourself in danger. Also, if you are pulled over, you will be faced with numerous fines and future expenses. Increased cost of your auto insurance is just one of those expenses.

What kind of impact will a DWI have on your car insurance premium? It can cause your rate to be increased by more than three times what you are currently paying. Many companies will even terminate your coverage and make you find an auto insurance policy elsewhere. You should know that depending on the carrier it can take up to FIVE years before your policy can be rewritten. Also, in certain states, penalties for a DWI can double if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is over a .16.

The best way to avoid a DWI violation is to refrain from driving after you have been drinking. (DUH!) If you have been drinking you should consider having a designated driver, calling a taxi or even riding the bus in order to get from once place to another. Any of these options will make the road a safer place for not only you and your friends, but for the entire community as well.

Call Martinson Agency in Chaska today with any further questions you may have about acquiring auto insurance after getting busted for a DWI violation.
