Insurance Companies DeKok Insurance Group Represents

At DeKok Insurance Group, one of the ways I serve my clients is by working directly with companies who deliver high-quality, affordable insurance options.  A few of them are on the graphic above.

I partnered with them because they are industry leaders, and because working with more than one company gives you options. It also helps you in another way: because I understand the insurance industry I know where to look for the  personal and/or business insurance that fits your needs. Then, after finding the best coverage and prices from top of the line companies, I show you the quotes, and explain what they mean. This saves you time and energy.

Call me today at 507-226-8121 to get free insurance quotes or to ask questions you have about insurance in MN.

How can I help you today?

Snapshot from Progressive

By

Snapshot DiscountSM

One of the companies I represent has a cutting edge program  I want to tell you about.

Snapshot is Progressives Pay As You Drive Program that  allows good drivers to save on their car insurance. Some drivers could save as much as 30% by driving less, in safer ways, at safer times of the day. Although  not available in all states, Snapshot is available in MN.

Once you enroll in the program, the Snapshot device will be sent to you in about 10 days. It’s easily plugged in to your car’s diagnostic  port (usually located below the steering column). After set-up  the device records the number of miles you  drive, the time of day you drive (how often you drive between midnight and 4AM  – what are often called “peak hours”), and how often you make sudden  stops or on the positive side: gentle braking. The other information gathered  is your VIN number and when you unplug and re-plug the device in. It does NOT  contain a GPS or monitor how fast you drive.

To see how you’re doing, you can track the information online.

One of the questions clients ask first is, “Will my  insurance rate go UP because of what the Snapshot records?” The answer is, no. It’s also important for you to know that Progressive doesn’t share any of  the collected data unless it’s required by the law.

You can cancel using the device at any time although  discounts will not be applied if you cancel early.

Your discount is applied about 30 days after you plug in the  Snapshot device. When you renew your policy, Progressive will finalize your  driving Snapshot and you keep saving as long as you stay insured with them.  There is a possibility that if you make significant changes to your policy, they will ask you to take a new snapshot of your driving habits.

Most cars manufactured after 1996 work with the Snapshot technology. If you want to track the use on more than one vehicle, Progressive  will send you one for each car.

One of my clients tried this program out and saved a significant amount on his insurance. He said it made him more aware of his driving habits and he believes he is a better driver after using the Snapshot for a short time.

Pet Coverage

By

dsc00030-4

Some of you know we have two dogs – Sophie and Tucker. Joy would tell you we love our dogs and the truth is – we do.

Many of us travel with our pets, even if it’s just to the grocery store or the gas station. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had an accident and your pet or pets were in the car with you? Several of the companies I represent have different levels of coverage for injured pets. Since my focus this week is on Progressive, I thought I’d share this with you. It’s taken directly from their website.

Pets are family, too!

You take them to the park, to the groomer’s, and out for joyrides…we’re talking about your pets. And we think they should be covered by your auto insurance policy.

That’s why Progressive was the first to offer Pet Injury coverage and is now happy to offer up to $1000 worth of coverage for your dog or cat if they’re injured when you’re in a car, RV, boat, PWC, or commercial auto accident or during a car, RV, boat, PWC, or commercial auto fire or theft.

And, it’s free. Progressive’s Pet Injury coverage is automatically included with your Comprehensive and Collision coverage on your boat, PWC, or RV policy, and with your Collision coverage on your auto or commercial auto policy.*

How Pet Injury Coverage Works

It couldn’t be easier because you don’t have to do or pay anything. It’s absolutely free. You just need to have Collision coverage for at least one vehicle on your auto or commercial auto policy. For RV, boat and PWC policies, you need to have Comprehensive and Collision coverage for at least one vehicle on the policy.

Pet Injury coverage pays up to $1000 toward veterinary bills if your dog or cat is injured when you’re in a car accident. We also cover them for Comprehensive claims, such as vehicle theft or a fire. In the unfortunate event that your pet dies as a result of injuries sustained in your Collision or Comprehensive claim, we provide a $1000 death benefit.

Coverage also extends to a cat or dog owned by a relative who lives with you.

Auto insurance for your pet — now that’s Progressive!

NOTE: Pet coverage insurance is NOT Pet Insurance and does not cover your pet health care.

More About Progressive Insurance

By

As an independent agent, I have the privilege of writing for some of the top companies in the nation. Here are some things about Progressive I thought you might like to know:

In Minnesota they are the 3rd largest auto insurer and growing steadily. There are 11 claims offices statewide and they employ 282 people. (this number does not include their independent agents)

The following is taken directly from their website:

Overview and History

The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies has been called a visionary — a maverick leading a wave of change within the insurance industry. In business since 1937, Progressive is now one of the nation’s largest auto insurance groups, and is the largest writer of private passenger auto insurance through independent agents in the country.

About Progressive

By

In March of 1937, two lawyers started a company they called Progressive Mutual Insurance Company. The two started a legacy of innovative steps to providing services for their clients. For example, they were the first to offer drive-in claims service. In the mid-50s the Progressive Casualty Company started insuring high risk drivers. Since then, they’ve continued to develop ways to provide clients with cutting edge policies and service. At this point, Progressive has more than 10 million policies in force and over 30,000 independent agents in the U.S.

Progressive offers several types of insurance today:

  • Boat/personal watercraft
  • Commercial auto
  • Homeowners
  • Motorcycle
  • RV
  • Segway

Progressive consistently earns industry awards for their business practices, products, and services.

As an independent agent with SIA of the Great Lakes, one of the premier companies I represent is Progressive. Working with companies like Progressive allows me to ask clients: if I could save you a substantial amount of money on your insurance, would you be interested in a quote?
