Even with a bundled Auto and Home/Renters policy, what common situations or damages might not be covered?
While bundling provides comprehensive protection, certain situations are typically not covered without specific endorsements. Common exclusions include floods, earthquakes, intentional damage, and specific types of business-related claims. Always review your policy details with your JWR agent to understand what's covered.

THE BIG COVERAGE GAPS IN BUNDLED POLICIES
Even when you bundle auto and home insurance, certain major risks aren't covered without separate policies or endorsements. Flood damage isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance—not from river flooding, not from spring snowmelt backup, not from heavy rain overwhelming drainage systems. If you're anywhere near the North Platte River, College Drive flood zones in Casper, or Northern Colorado creeks, you need separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Earthquake damage also requires separate coverage, which matters in parts of Wyoming near fault lines. Standard auto policies exclude commercial use of your vehicle—so if you're doing Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or any delivery work, your regular policy won't cover accidents while you're working. And neither your auto nor home policy covers intentional damage, wear-and-tear from normal use over time, or damage from lack of maintenance.
BUSINESS USE AND HIGH-VALUE ITEMS AREN'T COVERED
Working from home? Running a small business? Your bundled home and auto policies have major gaps. Home-based business equipment, inventory, and liability aren't covered under standard homeowners insurance—if a client trips at your home office or your business equipment is stolen, you're paying out of pocket without separate business coverage. Personal auto insurance specifically excludes commercial use, which includes more than you might think: delivering pizzas, hauling equipment to job sites, transporting clients, or any work-related driving beyond commuting. High-value personal items also hit sub-limits fast—most homeowners policies cap jewelry at $1,500, artwork at $2,500, and electronics at specific limits. That engagement ring, your grandfather's coin collection, or your photography equipment needs separate scheduled personal property coverage (riders or floaters) to be fully protected.
WYOMING-SPECIFIC COVERAGE GAPS TO KNOW
Wyoming's boom-and-bust economy, severe weather, and rural distances create specific coverage gaps to address. If you lose your job in an oil field layoff and can't pay your mortgage, that's not covered—you'd need separate mortgage protection or disability insurance. Your auto policy won't cover you driving someone else's work vehicle, operating ATVs or snowmobiles (those need separate policies), or wildlife damage beyond basic collision with animals—hitting a deer is covered under comprehensive, but livestock collision liability varies. Water backup from sewers or sump pumps isn't automatically covered during Casper's spring thaws—that's an endorsement you add for typically $40-80 per year. And if you're renting out your basement apartment or have a long-term Airbnb situation, your standard homeowners policy excludes landlord liability and rental business losses. We review these regional gaps with every bundled policy we write, making sure you know what's covered and what needs attention before you have a claim denied.
