Options, discounts available

In addition to homeowners insurance, Country Insurance offers condo unit owners insurance, renters insurance, and rental property owners insurance.

If you’re buying home owners insurance, Country also offers you a number of options including personal umbrella insurance, identify theft coverage, jewelry coverage, watercraft coverage and recreational motor vehicle coverage on qualifying homes.

Other options include earthquake protection, sump-pump fialure and back-up of sewer or drainage systems, and inflation protection.

You may be eligible for discounts if you buy multiple policies from Country, as well as if your home has an alarm system, if your home’s wiring is a certain age, and your home does not have a wood-burning unit or has a built-in fireplace without a fireplace insert. If you live in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma and you have certain hail-resistant roofing, you may be eligible for a roof discount. Not all discounts are available in all states.
