Are You & Your Car Insurance Policy All "Pumpkin-Spiced" Up for Fall? 🍂 Here’s How to Make Sure You're Set

Fall in Florida may not bring snow tires and frost, but it does bring cooler temps, holiday road trips, and unpredictable weather. Just like switching your latte to a pumpkin spice flavor, fall is the perfect time to give your car insurance policy a seasonal refresh. 🍁

At Richard Dean Insurance, we believe that every Florida driver should head into the cooler months fully covered—and fully confident. Here’s how to make sure your car insurance is as ready for fall as you are.

1. Review Your Car Insurance Coverage (It’s Like a Fall Tune-Up for Your Policy)

Start by checking your current car insurance limits and coverages. Have there been any changes in your driving habits or household vehicles? Did you pay off a car loan? Add a new driver?

✅ Key coverages to check:

• Liability limits

• Collision & comprehensive

• Uninsured/underinsured motorist

• Roadside assistance

• Rental reimbursement

Your car insurance should change with the seasons of your life—and the fall season is a great excuse to give it a once-over with your local agent.

2. Make Sure You’re Covered for Storm Season (Because Fall Isn’t Always Calm)

Hurricane season doesn’t officially end until November 30th, and fall can still bring severe weather. Make sure your car insurance includes comprehensive coverage, which helps pay for damage caused by things like:

• Falling tree limbs

• Flooding or hail

• Wind-blown debris

• Theft or vandalism

If you’re unsure what’s included in your policy, the team at Richard Dean Insurance can walk you through your car insurance line by line.

3. Reevaluate Your Deductibles (Before the Holidays Hit Your Wallet)

The holidays are right around the corner—which means your budget might be tighter. If you haven’t reviewed your car insurance deductibles in a while, now is a smart time to do so.

• Higher deductibles = lower monthly premium, but more out-of-pocket if you file a claim.

• Lower deductibles = higher premium, but less financial stress if something happens.

4. Check for Seasonal Discounts (Your Wallet Will Thank You)

Fall is a great time to ask your agent about car insurance discounts. You could qualify for savings and not even know it!

✅ Common car insurance discounts:

• Safe driver or good student

• Bundling with home insurance

• Low-mileage driving

• Anti-theft or safety features

At Richard Dean Insurance, we don’t just quote—we search for every available discount to help you keep more pumpkin spice dollars in your pocket.

5. Talk to a Local Agent (Like Richard Dean Insurance) Before You Hit the Holiday Roads

Planning road trips to visit family or take advantage of cooler weather? Make sure your car insurance travels with you. Some policies have exclusions or limited roadside assistance options, especially if you’re crossing state lines.

Working with a local, independent agent like Richard Dean Insurance means you get tailored recommendations for Florida drivers—and direct support when it matters most.
