The time frame for filing an insurance claim after an incident, known as the "claim filing window," varies depending on the type of insurance and the specific terms of your policy. Generally, it's advisable to file a claim as soon as possible, but here are some typical guidelines:
- Auto insurance – Most policies require that you report an accident within a few days to a few weeks, but for filing a claim, you might have a longer window.
- Homeowners insurance – For property damage, it's usually recommended to file a claim within one year of the incident. Some policies might have shorter time frames, so it's important to check your policy details.
- Life insurance – For life insurance, beneficiaries generally have no time limit to file a claim. However, prompt filing is advised to expedite the benefits process.

A master policy is the insurance policy held by the condo association or HOA. It usually covers the building's exterior and common areas. Understanding what the master policy covers can help you decide how much coverage you need for your own condo insurance.

After filing an auto insurance claim, your insurer will assign a claims adjuster to investigate. They'll review any police reports, inspect vehicle damage, interview involved parties and determine fault. Depending on their findings, you'll receive a settlement offer covering repairs, replacements or medical expenses as applicable. If you agree, you'll be compensated; if not, you can negotiate. If you’re found to be at fault, your premiums might increase at the next renewal; if another party was responsible, your insurer might seek reimbursement from them or their insurance provider.
Homeowners insurance covers your investment in your home and personal belongings by providing financial protection against damage, theft and liability. It’s not necessary by law, but if you have a mortgage on your property, your lender will typically require it.

Full coverage for motorcycles can be expensive due to the higher risks involved. Motorcycles are generally more vulnerable to accidents and theft. Additionally, motorcyclists are more likely to sustain serious injuries in an accident, which can lead to higher claims and therefore higher insurance costs.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies include other structures coverage, but it's always good to double check. When reviewing your policy or shopping for a new one, a VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure this coverage is included in your plan.
Recreational toy insurance is often a worthwhile investment for those who own valuable recreational equipment. It protects against potential losses due to accidents and the financial harm you might do to others or their property, theft, or damage to your toy, providing peace of mind and financial security. When considering the best policy for your needs, the value of the insurance should be weighed against the cost of replacing or repairing the recreational toy and financial risk caused by an at-fault accident.

Term life insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specific period or term, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during the term, the policy pays out a death benefit to the beneficiaries. This type of insurance is often chosen for its simplicity and lower premiums compared to other types of life insurance. It's typically used to cover specific financial responsibilities like a mortgage or education expenses. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare term life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance with more flexibility than whole life insurance. It provides a death benefit and includes a savings component but allows policyholders to adjust their premium payments and death benefits within certain limits. The cash value of the policy earns interest and the policyholder can use the value to pay premiums or let it accumulate. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare universal life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Condo insurance is different from homeowners insurance mainly because of the ownership structure. In a condo, you own the interior of your unit while the homeowners association (HOA) usually owns and insures the exterior and common areas.

- Buying or selling a vehicle

- Significant fluctuations in your credit score
- Substantial changes in your commute or the usage of your vehicle

A homeowners insurance policy is designed for properties where the owner resides, while landlord insurance is meant for properties that are rented out to tenants. Landlord policies provide coverage for loss of rental income, which homeowners policies typically don’t. They might also offer broader liability coverage, taking into account that renters occupy the property. Finally, a landlord policy generally only covers the building’s structure and any appliances or furnishings owned by the landlord, but not the tenants' possessions.
Auto insurance rates are determined by various factors like the driver’s age, driving history, location, type of car and levels of coverage.

Motorcycle insurance typically covers other riders, but this can vary based on your insurance carrier and policy specifics. Coverages like bodily injury liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and medical payments can make sure that you, guest riders and other people stay financially protected if something goes wrong or an accident happens. To fully understand the extent of your coverage, it's crucial to review your policy carefully and consult with a VIU by HUB Advisor.

Depending on your needs, a VIU by HUB Advisor can get you coverage against flooding as well as earthquakes and hurricanes.
Yes, using your second home as a vacation property, long- or short-term rental will affect your policy options and premiums. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you pinpoint and compare specific second home insurance policies that would best serve your situation.
If you regularly rent out your property on platforms like Airbnb, traditional homeowner's insurance might not provide sufficient coverage. While Airbnb does offer a "Host Guarantee" and "Host Protection Insurance," these do not replace the need for your own insurance because there may be gaps in what Airbnb's coverage offers and what actually happens.
Some homeowners policies might exclude short-term rentals from coverage, meaning you’d be unprotected if a claim arose during an Airbnb guest’s stay. If you're an Airbnb host or considering becoming one, you may need landlord insurance or a policy specifically designed for short-term rentals. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help.
Insurance claims are handled by your insurance carrier and most claims service centers are open 24/7.
A free online account grants you access to your own personal insurance dashboard, without having to first purchase a policy through VIU by HUB. Once you've signed in, you can import your existing policies for easy viewing, management and updates - all in one place.

This depends on your insurance policy. Some policies may cover certain types of optional equipment, but it's important to check your policy and potentially add additional coverage for expensive customizations. A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure you and your motorcycle are properly covered for whatever you may need.
The cost of life insurance depends on several factors, including the type of policy, the amount of coverage, the policyholder's age, health, lifestyle and the length of the policy term for term life insurance. Generally, term life insurance is less expensive than whole or universal life insurance. Getting quotes from multiple insurers is the best way to determine the specific cost for your situation. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare policies to find the best price and coverage package.
Determining the right amount of insurance coverage for your needs involves assessing various personal, geographical and financial factors to make sure you’re adequately protected. For auto and liability insurance, it’s important to weigh your driving habits and the value of your vehicle and consider what is enough coverage to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. For homeowners insurance, if you live in an area prone to natural disasters, you might need extended coverage for your property. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you break down the specifics and find the most relevant options for your needs.
VIU by HUB makes money through commissions earned when you buy a policy from one of our insurance carrier partners. In some cases, VIU by HUB may refer you to partner providers.

Standard condo insurance policies have limits for certain types of valuables. For high-value items, you might need additional coverage or endorsements. A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure to add specialized coverage to your policy for any valuables you may have.

Condo insurance typically covers personal property, liability, permanent fixtures, loss of use (if your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss) and, at times, loss assessment for claims against the community's master policy. A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure to include the coverages you’ll need in your condo insurance policy.
Umbrella insurance is beneficial for anyone who has assets that could be at risk in a lawsuit. This includes homeowners, car owners, landlords and individuals with significant savings or investments. If your potential loss from a lawsuit exceeds the coverage of your existing policies, umbrella insurance can provide the extra protection needed. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you understand and compare umbrella insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Whether full coverage makes sense for you depends on several factors, such as the value of your motorcycle, your riding habits and your financial situation. If your motorcycle is expensive or new, full coverage can protect your investment. But for older, less valuable bikes, the cost of full coverage may not be the best option. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you find the right motorcycle insurance that’s best for your needs.
Fetch pet insurance policies are priced depending on your pet’s age, breed and location. On average, policies for cats run approximately $20 per month and $35 per month for dogs.
While your landlord's insurance typically covers the building itself, it doesn't tend to cover a tenant’s personal belongings in case of damage or theft – or liability if someone is injured in your space. Renters insurance helps fill that gap to keep you financially protected against the unexpected.
Our pet insurance partner Fetch provides the most comprehensive dental coverage in the industry. Unlike other providers, they cover injury and disease in every adult tooth – not just the canines. Plus, you get full coverage for gum disease (the most common disease in dogs and cats), oral tumors, trauma and more. And for routine and preventive care, it's possible to include dental cleaning coverage with Fetch Wellness add-on.
The cost of umbrella insurance is relatively low compared to the amount of coverage it provides. Premiums vary based on several factors, including the amount of coverage, the policyholder's risk factors and their underlying policy limits. Generally, a $1 million umbrella policy can cost between $150 to $300 per year with additional coverage increasing the premium. Reach out to a VIU by HUB Advisor at 833-495-2748 to get options with the right coverage and price point for your needs.
While landlord insurance isn't typically mandated by law, the amount you should have depends on the value of the property, potential rebuilding costs, the level of liability risk you're willing to assume and the requirements set by your mortgage lender. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help determine the right amount of coverage for your situation.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for a covered loss before your insurance policy begins to pay. Generally, a higher deductible leads to a lower premium, since you're assuming more of the financial responsibility in the event of a claim. Lower deductibles result in higher premiums because the insurance company takes on a greater share of the risk.
Choosing the right deductible is a balance between what you can afford to pay out of pocket and the premium you're willing to pay while avoiding financial strain in the event of a claim. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you determine the deductible amounts that make the most sense for your needs.

Whether you have coverage for water damage depends on your specific recreational toy insurance policy.

It may be possible to lower your condo insurance premium by adding certain security features to your condo or by opting for a higher deductible. When purchasing a policy through VIU by HUB, an advisor will be sure to apply any available discounts before finalizing.

An umbrella policy is a type of liability insurance that provides additional coverage beyond the limits of the policyholder's standard insurance policies, like home or auto insurance.

Depending on their findings, you'll receive a settlement offer covering repairs, replacements or medical expenses as applicable. If you agree, you'll be compensated; if not, you can negotiate.

Our VIU by HUB Advisors are licensed insurance specialists and experienced agents who will strive to provide you with the best advice on policies, coverages and carriers.
VIU by HUB is free.
We’re independent digital insurance agents, which means we don’t sell policies issued by our own insurance company. Instead, we identify policies that are specifically relevant and right for you. And thanks to our A-rated insurance carrier partners – which means they’re top-ranked in financial strength and ability to pay claims – we’re able to offer their policies at the best possible price.

Coverages
Determining the right amount of insurance coverage for your needs involves assessing various personal, geographical and financial factors to make sure you’re adequately protected. For auto and liability insurance, it’s important to weigh your driving habits and the value of your vehicle and consider what is enough coverage to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. For homeowners insurance, if you live in an area prone to natural disasters, you might need extended coverage for your property. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you break down the specifics and find the most relevant options for your needs.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for a covered loss before your insurance policy begins to pay. Generally, a higher deductible leads to a lower premium, since you're assuming more of the financial responsibility in the event of a claim. Lower deductibles result in higher premiums because the insurance company takes on a greater share of the risk.
Choosing the right deductible is a balance between what you can afford to pay out of pocket and the premium you're willing to pay while avoiding financial strain in the event of a claim. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you determine the deductible amounts that make the most sense for your needs.

Claims
After you file a claim and report a loss, an insurance adjuster will come to inspect the damage and determine how much your insurance company should pay for the repair or replacement.
The time frame for filing an insurance claim after an incident, known as the "claim filing window," varies depending on the type of insurance and the specific terms of your policy. Generally, it's advisable to file a claim as soon as possible, but here are some typical guidelines:
- Auto insurance – Most policies require that you report an accident within a few days to a few weeks, but for filing a claim, you might have a longer window.
- Homeowners insurance – For property damage, it's usually recommended to file a claim within one year of the incident. Some policies might have shorter time frames, so it's important to check your policy details.
- Life insurance – For life insurance, beneficiaries generally have no time limit to file a claim. However, prompt filing is advised to expedite the benefits process.
The duration of an insurance claim process can vary depending on factors like the type of insurance you’re dealing with, the complexity of the claim, the efficiency of your insurance company and the specific circumstances of the claim. A simple insurance claim might be resolved in a few days to a few weeks, while more complex cases can take several months.

After filing an auto insurance claim, your insurer will assign a claims adjuster to investigate. They'll review any police reports, inspect vehicle damage, interview involved parties and determine fault. Depending on their findings, you'll receive a settlement offer covering repairs, replacements or medical expenses as applicable. If you agree, you'll be compensated; if not, you can negotiate. If you’re found to be at fault, your premiums might increase at the next renewal; if another party was responsible, your insurer might seek reimbursement from them or their insurance provider.
Homeowners insurance covers your investment in your home and personal belongings by providing financial protection against damage, theft and liability. It’s not necessary by law, but if you have a mortgage on your property, your lender will typically require it.
Risks, requirements and legal specifics vary by state, so it’s best to read up on the particulars related to where you live. VIU by HUB offers insurance options and information for all 50 states.

Full coverage for motorcycles can be expensive due to the higher risks involved. Motorcycles are generally more vulnerable to accidents and theft. Additionally, motorcyclists are more likely to sustain serious injuries in an accident, which can lead to higher claims and therefore higher insurance costs.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies include other structures coverage, but it's always good to double check. When reviewing your policy or shopping for a new one, a VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure this coverage is included in your plan.
Recreational toy insurance is often a worthwhile investment for those who own valuable recreational equipment. It protects against potential losses due to accidents and the financial harm you might do to others or their property, theft, or damage to your toy, providing peace of mind and financial security.

Term life insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specific period or term, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during the term, the policy pays out a death benefit to the beneficiaries. This type of insurance is often chosen for its simplicity and lower premiums compared to other types of life insurance. It's typically used to cover specific financial responsibilities like a mortgage or education expenses. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare term life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance with more flexibility than whole life insurance. It provides a death benefit and includes a savings component but allows policyholders to adjust their premium payments and death benefits within certain limits. The cash value of the policy earns interest and the policyholder can use the value to pay premiums or let it accumulate. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare universal life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Condo insurance is different from homeowners insurance mainly because of the ownership structure. In a condo, you own the interior of your unit while the homeowners association (HOA) usually owns and insures the exterior and common areas.

- Buying or selling a vehicle

A homeowners insurance policy is designed for properties where the owner resides, while landlord insurance is meant for properties that are rented out to tenants. Landlord policies provide coverage for loss of rental income, which homeowners policies typically don’t. They might also offer broader liability coverage, taking into account that renters occupy the property. Finally, a landlord policy generally only covers the building’s structure and any appliances or furnishings owned by the landlord, but not the tenants' possessions.
Auto insurance rates are determined by various factors like the driver’s age, driving history, location, type of car and levels of coverage.

Motorcycle insurance typically covers other riders, but this can vary based on your insurance carrier and policy specifics. Coverages like bodily injury liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and medical payments can make sure that you, guest riders and other people stay financially protected if something goes wrong or an accident happens.

Yes, using your second home as a vacation property, long- or short-term rental will affect your policy options and premiums. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you pinpoint and compare specific second home insurance policies that would best serve your situation.
If you regularly rent out your property on platforms like Airbnb, traditional homeowner's insurance might not provide sufficient coverage. While Airbnb does offer a "Host Guarantee" and "Host Protection Insurance," these do not replace the need for your own insurance because there may be gaps in what Airbnb's coverage offers and what actually happens.
Some homeowners policies might exclude short-term rentals from coverage, meaning you’d be unprotected if a claim arose during an Airbnb guest’s stay. If you're an Airbnb host or considering becoming one, you may need landlord insurance or a policy specifically designed for short-term rentals. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help.
Insurance claims are handled by your insurance carrier and most claims service centers are open 24/7.

A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure you and your motorcycle are properly covered for whatever you may need.
The cost of life insurance depends on several factors, including the type of policy, the amount of coverage, the policyholder's age, health, lifestyle and the length of the policy term for term life insurance. Generally, term life insurance is less expensive than whole or universal life insurance. Getting quotes from multiple insurers is the best way to determine the specific cost for your situation. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare policies to find the best price and coverage package.
Determining the right amount of insurance coverage for your needs involves assessing various personal, geographical and financial factors to make sure you’re adequately protected. For auto and liability insurance, it’s important to weigh your driving habits and the value of your vehicle and consider what is enough coverage to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. For homeowners insurance, if you live in an area prone to natural disasters, you might need extended coverage for your property. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you break down the specifics and find the most relevant options for your needs.

A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you understand and compare umbrella insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Whether full coverage makes sense for you depends on several factors, such as the value of your motorcycle, your riding habits and your financial situation. If your motorcycle is expensive or new, full coverage can protect your investment. But for older, less valuable bikes, the cost of full coverage may not be the best option. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you find the right motorcycle insurance that’s best for your needs.
Fetch pet insurance policies are priced depending on your pet’s age, breed and location. On average, policies for cats run approximately $20 per month and $35 per month for dogs.
While your landlord's insurance typically covers the building itself, it doesn't tend to cover a tenant’s personal belongings in case of damage or theft – or liability if someone is injured in your space. Renters insurance helps fill that gap to keep you financially protected against the unexpected.
Our pet insurance partner Fetch provides the most comprehensive dental coverage in the industry. Unlike other providers, they cover injury and disease in every adult tooth – not just the canines. Plus, you get full coverage for gum disease (the most common disease in dogs and cats), oral tumors, trauma and more. And for routine and preventive care, it's possible to include dental cleaning coverage with Fetch Wellness add-on.
The cost of umbrella insurance is relatively low compared to the amount of coverage it provides. Premiums vary based on several factors, including the amount of coverage, the policyholder's risk factors and their underlying policy limits. Generally, a $1 million umbrella policy can cost between $150 to $300 per year with additional coverage increasing the premium. Reach out to a VIU by HUB Advisor at 833-495-2748 to get options with the right coverage and price point for your needs.
While landlord insurance isn't typically mandated by law, the amount you should have depends on the value of the property, potential rebuilding costs, the level of liability risk you're willing to assume and the requirements set by your mortgage lender. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help determine the right amount of coverage for your situation.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for a covered loss before your insurance policy begins to pay. Generally, a higher deductible leads to a lower premium, since you're assuming more of the financial responsibility in the event of a claim. Lower deductibles result in higher premiums because the insurance company takes on a greater share of the risk.
Choosing the right deductible is a balance between what you can afford to pay out of pocket and the premium you're willing to pay while avoiding financial strain in the event of a claim. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you determine the deductible amounts that make the most sense for your needs.

- Homeowners insurance – For property damage, it's usually recommended to file a claim within one year of the incident. Some policies might have shorter time frames, so it's important to check your policy details.
- Life insurance – For life insurance, beneficiaries generally have no time limit to file a claim. However, prompt filing is advised to expedite the benefits process.

A master policy is the insurance policy held by the condo association or HOA. It usually covers the building's exterior and common areas. Understanding what the master policy covers can help you decide how much coverage you need for your own condo insurance.
Umbrella policies do not cover everything. Exclusions typically include personal property damage that the policyholder causes intentionally, liability incurred in business or professional activities (this requires a separate business liability policy), criminal or fraudulent actions, and liability related to contracts or agreements signed by the policyholder.

Asurion's Home+ provides technical support and protection for your eligible home tech, like your flat-screen TV, laptop, gaming consoles, and more.

A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you find the right policy for your unique needs.

After filing an auto insurance claim, your insurer will assign a claims adjuster to investigate. They'll review any police reports, inspect vehicle damage, interview involved parties and determine fault. Depending on their findings, you'll receive a settlement offer covering repairs, replacements or medical expenses as applicable. If you agree, you'll be compensated; if not, you can negotiate. If you’re found to be at fault, your premiums might increase at the next renewal; if another party was responsible, your insurer might seek reimbursement from them or their insurance provider.
Homeowners insurance covers your investment in your home and personal belongings by providing financial protection against damage, theft and liability. It’s not necessary by law, but if you have a mortgage on your property, your lender will typically require it.
Risks, requirements and legal specifics vary by state, so it’s best to read up on the particulars related to where you live. VIU by HUB offers insurance options and information for all 50 states.

Full coverage for motorcycles can be expensive due to the higher risks involved. Motorcycles are generally more vulnerable to accidents and theft. Additionally, motorcyclists are more likely to sustain serious injuries in an accident, which can lead to higher claims and therefore higher insurance costs.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies include other structures coverage, but it's always good to double check. When reviewing your policy or shopping for a new one, a VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure this coverage is included in your plan.
Recreational toy insurance is often a worthwhile investment for those who own valuable recreational equipment. It protects against potential losses due to accidents and the financial harm you might do to others or their property, theft, or damage to your toy, providing peace of mind and financial security. When considering the best policy for your needs, the value of the insurance should be weighed against the cost of replacing or repairing the recreational toy and financial risk caused by an at-fault accident.

Term life insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specific period or term, such as 10, 20 or 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during the term, the policy pays out a death benefit to the beneficiaries. This type of insurance is often chosen for its simplicity and lower premiums compared to other types of life insurance. It's typically used to cover specific financial responsibilities like a mortgage or education expenses. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare term life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance with more flexibility than whole life insurance. It provides a death benefit and includes a savings component but allows policyholders to adjust their premium payments and death benefits within certain limits. The cash value of the policy earns interest and the policyholder can use the value to pay premiums or let it accumulate. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare universal life insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Condo insurance is different from homeowners insurance mainly because of the ownership structure. In a condo, you own the interior of your unit while the homeowners association (HOA) usually owns and insures the exterior and common areas.

- Buying or selling a vehicle
- Getting married or divorced
- Adding a new driver (like a spouse or teenager)
- Moving to a new address (especially in a different state)
- Significant fluctuations in your credit score
- Substantial changes in your commute or the usage of your vehicle

A homeowners insurance policy is designed for properties where the owner resides, while landlord insurance is meant for properties that are rented out to tenants. Landlord policies provide coverage for loss of rental income, which homeowners policies typically don’t. They might also offer broader liability coverage, taking into account that renters occupy the property. Finally, a landlord policy generally only covers the building’s structure and any appliances or furnishings owned by the landlord, but not the tenants' possessions.
Auto insurance rates are determined by various factors like the driver’s age, driving history, location, type of car and levels of coverage.

Motorcycle insurance typically covers other riders, but this can vary based on your insurance carrier and policy specifics. Coverages like bodily injury liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and medical payments can make sure that you, guest riders and other people stay financially protected if something goes wrong or an accident happens. To fully understand the extent of your coverage, it's crucial to review your policy carefully and consult with a VIU by HUB Advisor.

Depending on your needs, a VIU by HUB Advisor can get you coverage against flooding as well as earthquakes and hurricanes.
Yes, using your second home as a vacation property, long- or short-term rental will affect your policy options and premiums. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you pinpoint and compare specific second home insurance policies that would best serve your situation.
If you regularly rent out your property on platforms like Airbnb, traditional homeowner's insurance might not provide sufficient coverage. While Airbnb does offer a "Host Guarantee" and "Host Protection Insurance," these do not replace the need for your own insurance because there may be gaps in what Airbnb's coverage offers and what actually happens.
Some homeowners policies might exclude short-term rentals from coverage, meaning you’d be unprotected if a claim arose during an Airbnb guest’s stay. If you're an Airbnb host or considering becoming one, you may need landlord insurance or a policy specifically designed for short-term rentals. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help.
Insurance claims are handled by your insurance carrier and most claims service centers are open 24/7.

Some policies may cover certain types of optional equipment, but it's important to check your policy and potentially add additional coverage for expensive customizations. A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure you and your motorcycle are properly covered for whatever you may need.
The cost of life insurance depends on several factors, including the type of policy, the amount of coverage, the policyholder's age, health, lifestyle and the length of the policy term for term life insurance. Generally, term life insurance is less expensive than whole or universal life insurance. Getting quotes from multiple insurers is the best way to determine the specific cost for your situation. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you compare policies to find the best price and coverage package.
Determining the right amount of insurance coverage for your needs involves assessing various personal, geographical and financial factors to make sure you’re adequately protected. For auto and liability insurance, it’s important to weigh your driving habits and the value of your vehicle and consider what is enough coverage to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. For homeowners insurance, if you live in an area prone to natural disasters, you might need extended coverage for your property. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you break down the specifics and find the most relevant options for your needs.
VIU by HUB makes money through commissions earned when you buy a policy from one of our insurance carrier partners. In some cases, VIU by HUB may refer you to partner providers.

Standard condo insurance policies have limits for certain types of valuables. For high-value items, you might need additional coverage or endorsements. A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure to add specialized coverage to your policy for any valuables you may have.

A VIU by HUB Advisor can make sure to include the coverages you’ll need in your condo insurance policy.
Umbrella insurance is beneficial for anyone who has assets that could be at risk in a lawsuit. This includes homeowners, car owners, landlords and individuals with significant savings or investments. If your potential loss from a lawsuit exceeds the coverage of your existing policies, umbrella insurance can provide the extra protection needed. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you understand and compare umbrella insurance quotes quickly and easily.
Whether full coverage makes sense for you depends on several factors, such as the value of your motorcycle, your riding habits and your financial situation. If your motorcycle is expensive or new, full coverage can protect your investment. But for older, less valuable bikes, the cost of full coverage may not be the best option. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you find the right motorcycle insurance that’s best for your needs.
Fetch pet insurance policies are priced depending on your pet’s age, breed and location. On average, policies for cats run approximately $20 per month and $35 per month for dogs.
While your landlord's insurance typically covers the building itself, it doesn't tend to cover a tenant’s personal belongings in case of damage or theft – or liability if someone is injured in your space. Renters insurance helps fill that gap to keep you financially protected against the unexpected.
Our pet insurance partner Fetch provides the most comprehensive dental coverage in the industry. Unlike other providers, they cover injury and disease in every adult tooth – not just the canines. Plus, you get full coverage for gum disease (the most common disease in dogs and cats), oral tumors, trauma and more. And for routine and preventive care, it's possible to include dental cleaning coverage with Fetch Wellness add-on.
The cost of umbrella insurance is relatively low compared to the amount of coverage it provides. Premiums vary based on several factors, including the amount of coverage, the policyholder's risk factors and their underlying policy limits. Generally, a $1 million umbrella policy can cost between $150 to $300 per year with additional coverage increasing the premium. Reach out to a VIU by HUB Advisor at 833-495-2748 to get options with the right coverage and price point for your needs.
While landlord insurance isn't typically mandated by law, the amount you should have depends on the value of the property, potential rebuilding costs, the level of liability risk you're willing to assume and the requirements set by your mortgage lender. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help determine the right amount of coverage for your situation.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for a covered loss before your insurance policy begins to pay. Generally, a higher deductible leads to a lower premium, since you're assuming more of the financial responsibility in the event of a claim. Lower deductibles result in higher premiums because the insurance company takes on a greater share of the risk.
Choosing the right deductible is a balance between what you can afford to pay out of pocket and the premium you're willing to pay while avoiding financial strain in the event of a claim. A VIU by HUB Advisor can help you determine the deductible amounts that make the most sense for your needs.

An umbrella policy is a type of liability insurance that provides additional coverage beyond the limits of the policyholder's standard insurance policies, like home or auto insurance.

They'll review any police reports, inspect vehicle damage, interview involved parties and determine fault. Depending on their findings, you'll receive a settlement offer covering repairs, replacements or medical expenses as applicable. If you agree, you'll be compensated; if not, you can negotiate.
