Quarterly Insurance Update
Cold weather is here! That means bonfires, apple cider, and beautiful leaves, so insurance probably isn't on your mind. However, did you know that taking just five minutes to review your auto and home insurance can save you from losing time doing fun fall and winter activities with your family?
Melissa with Liberty Mutual would be happy to review your current policy and see if you have appropriate liability coverage, as well as rental car coverage! Feel free to call, text, or email Melissa with Liberty Mutual to review your policies and end your year on the right foot!
