Auto Insurance FAQ
What does the term "Full Coverage" mean?
The term full coverage typically implies that the insurance policy includes both liability coverage and coverage for damage to the vehicle. The term full coverage does not guarantee that “everything” is covered no matter what happens. Your auto insurance Policy Declaration page lists the coverages you have elected. New Redwood Insurance Services will discuss with you the available coverages to enable you to select the insurance coverage which fits your needs and financial budget.
Am I covered if I drive someone else's vehicle?
Usually, the insurance coverage goes with the car. For example, in case you get into a car accident when driving someone else’s vehicle, the owner’s insurance coverage would apply toward damages first. Your auto insurance would normally apply in cases where the owner of the vehicle had no auto insurance policy or did not have sufficient insurance coverage to pay the damages. For specific details and advice on your current insurance policy, for this circumstance, please contact us here at New Redwood Insurance.
I have a suspended license, can I still get auto insurance?
If your driver’s license is suspended or revoked, your insurance company may not renew, or even cancel your policy, but there are options for you. You can reinstate your license by contacting your DMV and following the steps for reinstatement. You may be required to file an SR-22 or be able to apply for a hardship license. Depending on what insurance company you have, they may or may not offer SR-22 filing services. With an SR-22 or Hardship License, you can get your car insurance back.
You don’t have to be stranded, New Redwood Insurance Services will walk you through the steps to get your car insurance back on track!

What are some reasons why my auto claim may be denied?
Your auto insurance company may deny your claim for any of the following reasons:
- If you file a fraudulent claim, whether it be a false claim, or claiming exaggerated damages
- If you file a claim while using your insured vehicle for purposes not included in your policy. For example, using your vehicle for delivery during the time of the accident.
- Making expensive upgrades to your vehicle without notifying your insurance company
- Missing payments on your premium may result in your insurance being suspended.
- Giving false information on your initial application. For example, household members over the age of 14 not listed on the application.
- Not updating the insurance company of any changes to your policy. For example, not requesting an address change on your policy if you move to a different house
Your insurance company may deny your claim and even cancel your policy for these reasons. New Redwood Insurance Services makes it easy to request changes and update your policy without staying on hold your hours.
