	Auto Insurance Automobile insurance covers motorized vehicles, which require a separate policy for property damage and liability. Motorized vehicles are not covered under a homeowners insurance policy for property damage and/or bodily injury liability situations when operated away from an insured's premises. Insurance companies look at many details when setting the price for insurance policies. Price alone should not be the basis of your decision. There are other factors to consider, including quality of service provided, the claims process, policy provisions, and coverage limits.

	Homeowners' Insurance It might be the biggest asset you own : your house. Make sure you have a good understanding of homeowners' insurance policies. A homeowners' insurance policy covers both property and liability. It is a total financial plan that protects your home, personal property, and personal liability. It is designed to pay for damages to your home and its contents. It can also protect you from financial liability if someone is injured on your property. A homeowners' insurance policy also protects you and your possessions when you are away from home. Basically, it extends to all your possessions no matter where you are. With our list of links to homeowners' insurance providers, you can be sure you'll find a provider for your needs.
	Health Insurance Health insurance plans generally fall into one of two categories: indemnity plans (also known as reimbursement plans) and managed care plans such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and point of service (POS) plans.

	Dental Insurance Dental insurance vs. dental discount plans: make sure you know the difference. Typically, a dental discount plan will work as a group to get discounts with dentists within a network. This will save money by acting like a coupon where you pay an amount considerably less than others without the plan. These plans are effective in bringing the cost of dental care down. Another type is a regular dental insurance plan which typically acts like a health insurance plan. Click here to find out more information and to see links of dental insurance providers.
	Disability Insurance How long could you maintain your present living standards without your current income? For almost anyone who works for a living, to be disabled and to be unable to earn an income, even for a short time, can mean financial stress - and even disaster. Disability income protection is designed to replace the income lost as a result of disability from illness or accident by protecting your earnings and your earning potential - perhaps your most valuable asset.
	Travel Insurance Travel protection is sometimes a combination of travel insurance and 24-hour emergency assistance services designed to give you peace of mind when you travel. Not only are the belongings you take with you on your trip covered, but you're also protected in case of a medical emergency (Exclusions may apply, depending upon the policy you purchase). Typically, these services are not fully covered by your credit card company, homeowner's policy, and/or medical insurance.
	Long Term Care Insurance Long-term care is day-to-day care that a patient (usually over age 65) receives in a nursing facility or in his or her residence following an illness or injury, or in old age. The need for long-term care goes up gradually as an individual ages and needs more assistance with daily living. For a segment of the population, long-term care insurance is a good idea. However, it should not cause financial hardship and force you to put off other financial needs. A long-term care insurance policy is only for people with large assets that they want to preserve for family members or for those who want to assure independence and not burden family members with nursing home bills. One should not buy long-term care insurance if the only source of income is social security, or if paying utilities, food, or Medicare already stretches a budget.
