Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Insurance

  • What is personal insurance?

    Coverage that protects your property, vehicles, and liability from unexpected losses or lawsuits.

  • Do I need renters or condo insurance if my landlord/HOA has coverage?

    Yes—your landlord or HOA only covers the building, not your personal belongings or liability.

  • Can I bundle home and auto insurance for savings?

    Absolutely—bundling often unlocks discounts and simplifies your insurance management.

  • What’s an umbrella policy and do I need one?

    Umbrella insurance provides extra liability coverage if your standard policies’ limits aren’t enough. Recommended for most homeowners, landlords, and higher-net-worth individuals.

  • Does OB1 Insurance serve my area?

    Yes—we serve clients in Albany, Saratoga, Mayfield, Clifton Park, and all across the Capital Region and Upstate New York.
