If you are shopping for condo insurance
, there are some things that you will need to understand to ensure that you get the right coverage for your specific needs. Knowing what the condo association insurance already covers is an excellent place to start. This will enable you to get condo insurance coverage that fills the gaps.

If you have a car, you can get a discount of between 5% and 15% for a package that includes auto and condo insurance.
