The glove compartment is an often overlooked and underused component of most cars. When used to its potential, your car’s glove compartment can hold a wealth of valuable information and resources. If you are ever in an accident or your car breaks down, you want to make sure that emergency services numbers and your insurance information are close at hand.

Your cell phone is often a lifeline in times of emergency, but it will serve little purpose if the battery dies. Keep a car charger in your glove box for those times when your phone needs a battery boost. While you’re in the electronics store, look for a small GPS unit and car adapter as well. It could save you if you make a wrong turn and suddenly find yourself hours out of your way.

In terms of personal safety and protection, add a small first aid kit, an umbrella and a pair of driving gloves. Why gloves, you ask? To protect your hands if you have to use a glass breakage bar, which you should also keep in the glove box.

You should also add your insurance cards to the glove box. If you need auto insurance, contact PMA Insurance Services in Chantilly, VA at (703) 449-1327.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost your life unexpectedly? How would your household and dependents carry on without your income? With term life insurance, there is no need to worry about your financial legacy. For a low monthly premium, you can secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in death benefits that can help pay off debts, financially support your family, and even put your children through college.

Term life insurance could quite possibly be one of the best deals available to the working public today. It is usually purchased by working individuals who have at least one person relying on them for financial support either now or later in life. Because the coverage is only effective for a specific term (usually between 10 and 30 years), high coverage amounts are available at exceptionally low monthly premiums.

Independent insurance agents are able to connect you with the insurance offerings of many companies, thereby getting you the best deal and the best coverage possible. An independent agent will be able to take care of all of your insurance needs, from home insurance to automobile insurance.

1. Independent agents don’t need to sell you on products.

Independent agents can look at the offerings of Safeco, Kemper Preferred, Progressive and more to find you the best deals for you, rather than trying to sell you on a specific type of insurance.

2. Independent agents are more knowledgeable than others.

Independent agents know about the product offerings at MetLife, Travelers, Hartford, Dairyland and more. Thus, they can give you a larger selection.

3. Independent agents have everything you need.

Rather than have to go to Allied for one type of insurance and GMAC for another, you can simply get all of the insurance types you need through a single agent. You can then use this agent as your main point of contact from then on.
