Let’s be honest, spring cleaning is a great excuse to throw out things you forgot you owned. But while you're decluttering your physical space, why not declutter your financial house too? Your auto insurance policy deserves the same energy you give to sorting your Tupperware lids.
And no, this isn’t about guilt-tripping you. This is about helping you avoid being the person on the side of the road, talking to your insurance company with that "oh no" face because you just realized you declined roadside assistance to save $3 a month.
You’d be surprised how many people are driving around Kirkland thinking they’re all set, only to find out their policy is based on a lifestyle they haven’t lived in five years.
Here are a few signs your auto insurance might be stuck in the past:
You’ve Changed Vehicles – Got rid of your ‘98 Honda for a newer ride? Congrats! But did your policy get the memo?
You’ve Moved – Moved to a quieter neighborhood or closer to work? That affects your premium, and not updating it could mean you’re overpaying.
Your Commute Changed – You work from home now but your policy still thinks you’re driving 30 miles a day. That's like paying for a gym membership you never use.
Your Driving Record Improved – If you’ve been accident-free for years, your rate should reflect that. If it doesn’t, you’re just tossing money out the window like confetti.
You Added a Teen Driver – This one’s big. Teens are like adorable insurance liabilities. If they’re behind the wheel and not properly listed, you're playing with fire.
If you’re already overwhelmed just thinking about policy details, let me break it down. Here’s what you should absolutely have in your auto insurance—especially if you’re navigating Kirkland traffic where Teslas outnumber birds:
The basic stuff that covers damage you do to other people’s cars or property. It’s legally required, but the minimum coverage isn’t always enough. Think about how expensive everything is now. You tap someone’s bumper and next thing you know, it’s a $5,000 bill and a three-star Yelp review.
Covers your own car if you hit something—or someone hits you. Because let’s face it, Kirkland has more roundabouts than common sense. One bad merge and you’re in the middle of a situation.
Covers stuff that isn’t about collisions. We’re talking about theft, vandalism, falling tree branches, deer that suddenly get brave, and random acts of nature.
Believe it or not, some people are still out here driving around without proper insurance. Like they’re playing a game of “Catch Me If You Can.” If they hit you, this coverage makes sure you’re not left footing the bill.
Flat tire? Dead battery? Locked your keys in the car while grabbing groceries? This is your safety net. And it’s way better than explaining to your boss that you’re late because you were trying to jumpstart your car using a flashlight and hope.
Kirkland’s a beautiful place—lake views, tech jobs, quiet streets, overpriced sandwiches. But it’s also got plenty of unique challenges:
Heavy Traffic – With all the commuters and out-of-towners cruising through town, accidents happen. Often.
Hills and Curves – Not exactly NASCAR out there, but between the hills and the rain, your odds of hydroplaning into a mailbox go up real quick.
Parked Car Perils – Parallel parking along downtown Kirkland? One wrong move and you’re part of someone’s side mirror horror story.
All this means you need coverage that actually matches your surroundings.
You don’t wait until your brakes are squealing to get them checked, right? (Or maybe you do. No judgment.) The point is, insurance isn’t something to ignore until you need it. Spring is the perfect excuse to dust it off, review your coverage, and make sure it reflects your real life—not some version of you from 2018.
We get it—insurance isn’t fun. No one wakes up thinking, "You know what would make today great? Comparing liability coverage limits."
