GLOSSARY
To bind coverage is to put it in force. A binder is a temporary agreement that you are insured from a set date and time until the carrier issues the formal policy.
A quote is only an estimate. Nothing is guaranteed until a licensed agent binds the policy and the carrier accepts the risk, subject to underwriting.
EXAMPLE
You buy a car on Saturday. The agent binds auto coverage that afternoon so you can drive off, and the full policy documents follow.
Until coverage is bound, a crash, theft, or weather loss is on you. Binding is the line between “shopping” and “protected.”
PolicyPocket is a licensed New Jersey agency. A licensed agent reviews and binds every policy. Technology helps. It does not replace the agent.
