Carpooling has many advantages which include saving money, reducing stress (when it is not your turn to drive), and saving time if there is a special carpool lane. Carpooling is good for the environment, prolongs the life of your vehicle, and reduces traffic.
Talk with your agent at Fuhriman Insurance Agency, serving Boise, ID and the surrounding area if you are planning to be carpooling to work because your auto insurance needs to be adjusted for this use. Let your agent know if you are going to receive any money from your employer for carpooling expenses.
If your work provides a vehicle for your use, then the insurance may already cover what you need for carpooling. Have your agent review any auto insurance policies that are already in place to make sure you have adequate protection.
Also, inform your agent if you plan to allow any other people to drive your vehicle or if you plan to drive a vehicle owned by another person. This can change the type of auto insurance coverage you need. For those you wish to allow to drive your vehicle regularly, your agent may advise you to add them as a designated driver on your auto insurance policy. This will help make sure there is adequate coverage for another person who is driving your auto.
Replacement Value Coverage and Extras
Talk with your agent about the advantages of having replacement value coverage for your vehicle, emergency road assistance, and rental car coverage if your vehicle is being repaired. This extra protection is wise to have when more than just you are relying on your vehicle to take everyone to work.
