BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Personalized coverage for your fishing gear, riding lawn mower,
claim free bonuses and Claim RateGuard(SM), it's all part of a
dozen expanded choices Allstate Insurance Company is unveiling for
Wisconsin homeowners. "This is about bringing innovation to the
marketplace," said Jim Krogmeier, territory distribution leader for
Allstate. "We're changing the way people look at insurance by
offering options and the freedom to personalize coverage to fit
every family." Krogmeier says Allstate is increasingly
differentiating itself from the competition by thinking outside the
box to create pioneering new choices that allow home and auto
insurance customers to pick from a menu of possibilities based on
their individual needs. "It's a new way of doing business to give
the consumer more choice," Krogmeier said. Allstate's latest entree
into the field of innovation is Your Choice Home -- a package of
new and expanded home insurance coverage features unveiled to the
company's 135 Wisconsin exclusive and independent agency owners
this month in a series of "road show" meetings across the state.
Your Choice Home gives Allstate's Wisconsin agency force seven new
features and personalized options to offer consumers and a fresh
look at five existing coverages. Staking a Claim (Rewards and
Forgiveness begin the day you sign up!): -- Claim-Free Bonus -
Homeowners receive up to 5% toward their renewal premium after
going 12 months without a claim. -- Claim RateGuard(SM) -
Homeowners rates won't go up just because a claim is filed.
(Applies to one claim every five years.) -- Guaranteed Renewal for
Claims - Homeowners policies will not be dropped just because of
the number of claims filed. Contemporary Concerns: -- Identity
Restoration - Saves home owners time and money by allowing them to
hire a firm to assist with restoring their good name, as well as
reimbursing them for expenses associated with having their identity
stolen. -- Electronic Data Recovery - Pays for the professional
help needed to research, restore or replace lost electronic data
and photographs on computers. -- Home Enterprise Coverage -
Provides protection for personal business property - not typically
covered under a standard homeowners policy - including equipment,
furniture and data, along with liability protection for business
activities. Pastime Protection: -- Yard & Garden - Increases
limits and expands coverage for items including removal of fallen
trees, landscaping and lawnmowers. -- Sports & Leisure -
Provides protection up to $10,000 for sports equipment, including
hunting rifles, kayaks and hockey equipment. -- Music &
Photography - Expands coverage up to $5,000 for musical instruments
and $5,000 for camera equipment ($10,000 total). Your Choice Home
follows Allstate's successful Your Choice Auto product. Launched in
Wisconsin in 2005, Your Choice Auto offers a new approach to auto
insurance with choices like accident forgiveness, deductible
rewards and new car replacement. Similar to Your Choice Auto,
Allstate's Your Choice Home offers customers Platinum, Gold and
Base level packages with the ability to add the personalized
options fitting individual needs. This is the fourth addition to
Allstate's portfolio in Wisconsin within recent years. Your Choice
Home follows Allstate's introduction of new landlord, manufactured
home and off road vehicle coverages. The Allstate Corporation
