Why do you need us? https://jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com Weather its home, auto, life, or commercial insurance your shopping for it can be confusing, and if your not working with an experienced insurance agency it can lead to large exposures. See more times then not we find that price becomes all too important to our competitors and potential clients, and in doing so they cut coverages that you really need. Insurance agents forget that their whole purpose is to help the client make the right decision, and help them protect their livelihood. When doing insurance quotes through most of the companies I work with I find that having higher limits doesn't change the cost that much, and in doing so you are better protected. For example I did a quote for someone today that had $25,000 per person/$50,000 overall for bodily injure, and $25,000 for property damage. That means if they hit someone and they were at fault they would only have $25,000 for each person they hurt in the car they hit but a maximum of $50,000 for all the people you hurt, and will only have $25,000 for any property you damage. Let's hope you don't total pretty much any car that's a 2017 or newer, and some older. But what a lot of people don't realize by being too focused on price is that it might cost an extra $5 a month sometimes less than that to have double the limits. Even deductibles I'll find someone who might beat our company on price by a small margin, but find out later they sold them $500 deductibles on comp. and collision. Collision I can understand, but on comprehensive for a few extra dollars a month you could have a $100 deductible or less. The most common claim out there is a rock flinging up and cracking your windshield. If it has to be replaced which most of the time if it's spread at all it does. Then hopefully you had an agent that cared like we do, and advised you well, because if you have a $500 deductible most of those claims you'll be paying out of pocket. If you had a $100 deductible or less you could have one windshield replaced every 8-10 years and the coverage would still pay for itself, one! if you have multiples over an 8-10 year span.. not uncommon especially if you live anywhere near my area! Then it would reallyyy pay for itself. Homeowners insurance starts to get a little more complex, with more options than auto insurance has to tailor your plan. Things like water backup, ordinance & law coverage... wait what in the world is ordinance & law coverage. There's so much that can go wrong or be left out, and that's why you need us. We bring 30 plus years of experience, and un-paralleled customer service. If your a business owner when in the world do you have time to take a break, let alone shop your insurance, or just make sure you have the coverages you need. Call us 757-695-3364. We make it as easy as it gets to price your commercial package. A lot of times the easiest and quickest way is to get your current insurance dec pages together and you can email them to us or call and I personally come by to get them. I use these to review the current coverages you need, but mainly to see if you have any gaps in the coverage you have. This is where we shine. Having someone that knows what you need, and be able to give you peace of mind when you finally get to sleep. Well, that's the whole reason you have a good insurance agent in the first place. Let us work for you so you don't have to. 🌅 REACHING FOR THE STARS IS EXCITING — PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST IS PRICELESS! ❤️ What an amazing sight in our Virginia sky!

At JD Auvil Insurance Agency, we are an independent, family-owned insurance agency that has been helping individuals, families, and businesses since 1988.

Whether you need auto insurance, homeowners insurance, business or commercial insurance, life insurance, umbrella coverage, or other insurance options, our team is here to help.

Local People Who Know Your Community

Insurance isn't just about policies and premiums. It's also about having someone you can call when you have a question, need to make a change, or aren't sure what coverage you need.

Our experienced team provides personalized service and takes the time to help our clients understand their options.

Serving Virginia & North Carolina

JD Auvil Insurance Agency proudly serves clients throughout Virginia and North Carolina, including Smithfield, Carrollton, Isle of Wight, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Windsor, Surry, Franklin, and the Hampton Roads area.

]]> Driverless Cars Are Here — What Could They Mean for Auto Insurance? https://jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1/view/1048 Wed, 07 Oct 2026 07:06:00 CDT https://jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1?blogm=view&blogid=1048 Imagine getting into a car with no driver — and no steering wheel.

That sounds like something from the future, but during a recent trip to Las Vegas, we experienced it firsthand. We rode in a completely driverless car that navigated city traffic and took us to our destination without anyone behind the wheel. In fact, there wasn't even a steering wheel in the vehicle!

It was an amazing experience, but after being in the insurance business since 1988, it also got us thinking:

What Will Driverless Cars Mean for Auto Insurance?

As vehicles become more automated, the insurance industry will continue adapting. Driverless technology raises some interesting questions.

Who is responsible if a driverless vehicle is involved in an accident? How will increasingly sophisticated technology affect repair costs and insurance claims? And as vehicles become capable of doing more of the driving themselves, how might auto insurance change?

We may not know exactly what automobiles will look like 10 or 20 years from now, but we've learned something after nearly four decades in the insurance business: vehicles change, technology changes, and insurance changes right along with them.

Your Local Independent Insurance Agency Since 1988

At JD Auvil Insurance Agency, we believe our job is about more than simply selling an insurance policy. We want to help our customers understand their coverage, explore their options and keep up with changes that may affect the insurance they need.

As an independent insurance agency, we help individuals, families and businesses with:

• Auto Insurance
• Homeowners Insurance
• Commercial & Business Insurance
• Life Insurance

We serve customers throughout all of Virginia and North Carolina, including Smithfield, Carrollton, Isle of Wight, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Windsor, Surry, Franklin and communities throughout Hampton Roads.

Whether you're insuring the car you drive today or wondering what we'll all be driving tomorrow, JD Auvil Insurance Agency is here to help.

? Call us at 757-238-9575 to discuss your insurance needs.

And after our experience in Las Vegas, we have to ask:

Would YOU ride in a car with no driver and no steering wheel? ??

]]> Fall Is Here in Hampton Roads: Is Your Home and Insurance Ready? https://jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1/view/1045 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 05:32:00 CDT https://jdauvilinsuranceandfinancial.com/blog1?blogm=view&blogid=1045 Fall has arrived in Virginia! The mornings are getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, and before long we'll be enjoying changing leaves and crisp fall evenings throughout Hampton Roads.

As we move into a new season, it's a great time to take care of a few simple things around your home—and make sure your insurance coverage has kept up with any changes you've made during the year.

A Few Fall Home Safety Reminders

Before colder weather settles in, consider adding these items to your fall checklist:

  • Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace batteries if needed and make sure detectors throughout your home are working properly.
  • Have your fireplace and chimney checked. If you use a wood-burning fireplace, it's a good idea to have it inspected and cleaned before the first fire of the season.
  • Clean gutters and remove leaves and debris. Keeping gutters clear can help rainwater drain properly and away from your home.
  • Check outdoor lighting. With the sun setting earlier, good lighting around steps, walkways, porches, and driveways becomes even more important.
  • Watch for deer and wildlife. Deer can be especially active around dawn and dusk, so use extra caution during your morning and evening drives.

Has Anything Changed Around Your Home?

Fall is also a good time to review your home insurance.

Think about what's changed since your last insurance review. Did you add a shed, deck, pool, fence, generator, or other structure? Did you remodel your kitchen or bathroom? Have you purchased expensive jewelry, electronics, or other valuable belongings?

It's much better to find out whether your coverage needs to be updated before you have a claim.

And don't forget about your vehicles. A quick auto insurance review can help make sure your drivers, vehicles, deductibles, liability limits, and other coverages still fit your family's needs.

Your Local Independent Insurance Agency

At JD Auvil Insurance Agency, we've been helping individuals, families, and businesses with their insurance needs since 1988.

As an independent insurance agency, we can help with home insurance, auto insurance, commercial insurance, life insurance, and other coverage needs. We work with multiple insurance companies to help our clients find coverage that fits their individual situation.

We proudly serve Carrollton, Smithfield, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hampton Roads, and communities throughout Virginia and North Carolina.

If it's been a while since you've reviewed your insurance—or something has changed around your home, family, vehicles, or business—give us a call. We're always happy to take a look and answer your questions.
