Manufactured homes are written differently
About 1 in 6 homes in this ZIP is a manufactured home. Carriers usually insure them on a policy or endorsement made for manufactured homes, and the year built matters. Homes built before June 15, 1976 predate the federal HUD construction code, and some carriers won't write them. Have the HUD label number handy when you call.

Far from a fire station? Know your fire protection class
About 96% of this ZIP's land lies outside the Lafayette city limits. Insurers use a fire protection class from ISO. A home more than 5 road miles from the fire station that responds to it is generally rated class 10, or 10W if it's within 7 miles and 1,000 feet of a water source. Those classes usually cost more to insure. Tell us the road distance to your station when you quote.

About 1 in 4 homes here was built in the 1960s and 1970s. Aluminum branch wiring went into some homes built from 1965 to 1973, and carriers ask about it because the connections can overheat. If your house has it, tell us whether it's been repaired or replaced, and when.

State minimum: 25/50/25
That's $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries you cause, and $25,000 for property damage. Most households need more. Our guideline is liability equal to 2.5 times household income or net worth, whichever is greater.
Every Tennessee auto policy includes uninsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your bodily injury liability, unless the named insured rejects it or picks lower limits in writing. Lower limits can't go below the state minimum. A rejection generally carries over to renewals with the same insurer until you ask for the coverage in writing. If you buy it, you also get the option to add uninsured motorist property damage coverage for your car.
