Answer: If an agent tells you one price, but your bill is for a higher premium, it could be that a simple mistake was made in processing your application. Check to see if the amounts of insurance, deductible, scheduled items, and policy endorsements are the same on the policy and the quote. If you can't find a discrepancy, check with your agent or company to find out if the bill is correct. If the bill is higher than you expected, ask for an explanation. You will probably find there is an honest misunderstanding between you and your agent. These misunderstandings or "misquotes" can happen when the agent does not have accurate information about your property or about what kind of coverage you want.
