Scenarios That Warrant Short-Term or Temporary Insurance
While our agency does not specialize in short-term insurance policies, there are a few scenarios that can warrant the need for short-term insurance policies. Let’s take a closer look at a few of these.
Traveling to Mexico:
If you’re driving into Mexico it is likely that your existing auto insurance policy excludes travel to Mexico. You’ll want to find an agency that offers Mexico Auto Coverage. Your typical coverages are available to cover your vehicle and can include roadside assistance. Talk to an agent about what might be the best fit for you if you’re traveling to and from Mexico.
Renting A Vehicle
If you plan to rent a vehicle as a temporary replacement while on vacation, your existing auto coverage should transfer to the rental vehicle. However, items like loss of use are not covered and could cause you to accrue some out-of-pocket expenses should you be found at fault for an accident that removes the vehicle from the rental fleet. Talk to an agent before you rent a vehicle and ensure your existing coverage will transfer to the temporary replacement. You can always purchase the rental agency’s coverage as a primary coverage as well.
Vacation or Travel Insurance
If you’re going on vacation you might want to consider travel insurance if your plans get interrupted. Things like sickness, injury, and lost luggage can be covered with a simple policy. You can even find coverage for “cancel for any reason” which could help with some unusual circumstances for having to cancel a trip. Be sure to ask your agent about the coverage details so you fully understand your coverage.
Wedding & Special Event
If you are planning on hosting a special event such as a wedding, bar mitzvah, baby shower, charity auction, Easter egg hunt, or even a cocktail party, you should consider special event insurance. Getting a one-day (multi-day also available) special event insurance policy is an easy chore.
Even if you don’t serve alcohol at your party, by inviting guests and children onto your property you have a liability that needs to be protected. Consider trip and fall accidents, food poisoning, or even a dog bite. Many things can happen during an event that should be planned for.

A Accelerated Auto Insurance was founded in 1992 by a group of independent insurance agents. Their vision was to provide affordable auto insurance rates to all customers regardless of driving record or credit history. This vision allowed them to quickly build a large, loyal customer base. In 2006 Jared Fuller began his career with Accelerated Insurance as a customer service representative. Over the next 10 years Accelerated expanded its reach to offer home and business insurance in addition to auto. In 2015 Jared’s wife, Cristy Fuller, also started working for the company. During the year 2016, they became the sole owners of Accelerated Insurance. Advances in technology allow Jared, Cristy, and a small staff to continue to grow while still providing excellent service to their existing policy holders. They continue to maintain the same vision of savings and service for Northeast Louisiana.
