Is RV insurance required in Georgia?

Yes for motorized RVs in Georgia (liability matches state auto minimums). Travel trailers borrow from the towing vehicle. Specialty RV coverage strongly recommended for physical damage and personal effects.

Why does my policy have more than one deductible?

A policy commonly carries a flat deductible for most claims and a separate percentage-based wind and hail deductible in storm-exposed states like Georgia.

Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?

No. Standard homeowners policies exclude all flood damage regardless of cause.

Does my own insurance cover me when I stay in an Airbnb or VRBO?

The host's short-term rental policy protects the host, not you.

What does uninsured motorist coverage do?

If you are hit by a driver with no insurance or not enough insurance, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills.

All FAQs

Quick answer: Under Georgia's Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (O.C.G.A. 33-6-30 to 33-6-37), your insurer must acknowledge a claim within 15 calendar days and decide it within 15 days of a completed proof of loss, or within 30 days of the claim being reported. Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, a bad-faith refusal to pay can carry a penalty of up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus attorney fees.
