As you plan to send your child off to college, you must remember to add altering your insurance plans to the to-do-list. We have gathered all of the must-know information for your convenience in this already hectic time:

• Dorm life? Your child’s belongings will be covered under your homeowners’ insurance policy. This will be a limited amount, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider that all of their expensive items are covered.
• Apartment? Time to purchase a renters’ insurance policy for about $15-20 per month.
• Public transportation? Contact your auto insurance carrier to ask if you are eligible to receive the resident student discount since your child will only be driving for a few months out of the year.
• Bringing their car with them to college? Be sure to contact your auto insurance agent to confirm that their insurance policy complies with all state regulations. You may receive a discount if the new zip code is especially safe.
