Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Review the various homeowner packages offered by The Hartford on behalf of AARP. Consider features like Lifetime Renewability, Full Value Replacement Cost Coverage and Lifetime Renewability. (See Resources)

  2. Step 2

    Check out the site's special section on How To Prepare a Home Inventory List. Get a better idea of the value of the home's contents and the level of insurance required. Use homeowner's insurance to protect against fire, theft, structural damage and flood.

  3. Step 3

    Read about Flood Coverage, which is not part of the protection offered by a homeowner's policy. Review the features and benefits as well as ways to save by purchasing this coverage through the AARP.

  4. Step 4

    Speak to an agent to discuss policy specifics, insurance needs and rates. Work with the agent to tailor a policy that meets the present and future needs of the household.

  5. Step 5

    Join AARP in order to take advantage of discounted homeowners insurance, auto insurance, health insurance, financial and legal advice and other services.
