As families prepare for the back-to-school season, American Family Insurance offers a comprehensive checklist to ensure students are protected. Coverage options include homeowners insurance for college-bound children living in university housing, renters insurance for those off-campus, auto insurance with potential discounts for students, as well as life insurance options to secure their future.
It's that time of year - back-to-school season is here! As the school year approaches, it's a great time to review your insurance coverage and ensure your student is protected. Whether they're heading to college or commuting to school, American Family Insurance is here to help you protect what matters most.
Your back-to-school insurance checklist:
Coverage for your college-bound child
Property crimes are common on campuses. Is your college-bound child covered? Your homeowners insurance might extend to them, especially if they live in university housing. For those living off-campus or not considered "insured" under your policy, renters insurance is a smart choice. This affordable option - usually less than the price of one dinner out with friends - protects possessions and liability, covering items like computers and electronics, but only for certain types of incidents or damage. Before college drop-off day arrives, verify coverage with your agency owner for peace of mind.
Road Ready: Auto insurance for students
Whether your child is off to college or your teen is driving to school, ensure they have the right auto insurance. Students under 25 leaving their car at home and attending school over 100 miles away are covered under your policy. They might also qualify for an away-at-school discount. If your student is commuting, review your coverage to ensure protection for added time on the road.
Smart Savings: Good Student discounts
Good grades pay off with American Family Insurance's Good Student discount. High school, college and homeschooled, the top-notch track record of your student can save on premiums. Contact your agency owner to discuss the details and additional savings like Away at School, Young Volunteer and Generational discounts, providing ways for young drivers and families to save on auto insurance.
Life Journey: Insuring your child's future
Whether your student is transitioning from school or starting a career, consider life insurance for your child. Purchasing a policy for your child can secure benefits like low premiums, future insurability, and building cash value over time. American Family Life Insurance Company provides customizable options, including whole life, term life and flexible life insurance. Connect with your agency owner to find the perfect fit for your family.
