It is that time of year when the leaves start to fall and the weather is changing.  That means it is time to start thinking about putting those summer items away until next spring. When you put your motorcycle, RV, boat, ATV or other summer items in storage, you can reduce coverage on those items and save money.

Taking these items down to COMPREHENSION ONLY will still cover your summer items for fire, theft, vandalism and glass breakage.  

If you plan on taking your summer items out periodically during the fall and winter it may not be a good idea to do this.  By going to COMPREHENSION ONLY, it takes away liability coverage. LIABILITY coverage is required if you are driving. Warning, if you are taking summer item(s) in and out during the fall and winter, you may forget to call TUCKER AGENCY to add LIABILITY back on.  This is meant for items that are truly being stored away during the off-season. 

Contact Tucker Agency today to find out if this is a money saving solution for you!
