Protecting Your Cherokee County Life: Doug Marrinson State Farm in Woodstock, GA
Here is what our neighbors in Woodstock are saying about our agency:
Google Review from Melissa: "Doug has been a pleasure to work with for our homeowners and auto insurance. He is thorough, patient, and helpful! I had what felt like a million questions and Doug took his time to answer each one. Thanks, Doug!"
Google Review from JC: "My husband and I have been with the same insurance company for a long time. The cost for our homeowners, autos, and umbrella have increased each year despite our clean history to an unaffordable amount for us. I called Doug Marrinson at State Farm and he was able to give us the same coverage for a lot less than we had been paying for years. Doug is easy to talk to and he listened to our needs and saved us money on top of that. If you need to make a change from your current insurance company, call Doug first you will not be disappointed. Thank you Doug, now I can retire!"
Google Review from Pawan: "I recently got my home insurance switched to State Farm. The office of Doug Marrinson provided excellent service. I enjoyed the support and professional service provided by Drew Perry. His product knowledge and customer service were exceptional. I would recommend Drew Perry for your insurance needs."
Google Review from Gary: "Doug Marrinson is a true professional. He knows the business. He gives logical advice. He is respectful and friendly. Doug has four children so I know he understands the challenges of family budgets. He provides me with good policies and reasonable prices. I would recommend him for anyone's insurance needs. I have life, home, auto, and umbrella policies with Doug. I recently sent a friend to him and he was pleased with the way Doug handled his insurance needs.

Smart Ways to Save: The Power of Bundling
Like many people in North Georgia, you may have multiple policies with different

company is often the preferred way to secure significant discounts and simplify your financial
life.
Policies You Can Bundle for Savings:
Auto and Home/Renters Insurance: This is the most common and effective way to
lower your overall cost.
Auto, Home, and Life Insurance: Combining these three major lines can maximize
your multi-line discounts.
Auto/Home + Specialty Policies: Add boat, RV, or motorcycle insurance to grow your
savings.
Switching is easy! As one of our customers, JC, discovered, we can often provide the
same coverage you currently have for a lot less.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Insurance
Q: What is the minimum auto liability coverage required in Georgia?
A: Georgia mandates minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 for bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident (Source: Georgia Department of Insurance). We always recommend discussing higher limits for better protection.
Q: Does my Homeowners or Renters insurance cover my home-based business?
A: Generally, no. Standard homeowners and renters policies severely limit or exclude coverage for business-related property and liability. If you run a business from your home, you need to purchase a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) or a home-based business endorsement.
Q: What does Renters Insurance cover?
A: Renters insurance, like the policy Sylvia helped Jalyn with, is essential. It primarily covers your personal belongings (furniture, electronics, clothing) against specified perils (like fire or theft) and provides personal liability coverage if someone is injured in your rented space. Your landlord’s insurance only covers the building’s structure.
Q: Why is an Umbrella Policy recommended?
A: An Umbrella policy provides an extra layer of liability coverage above the limits of your auto, home, and boat policies. It’s designed to protect your assets and future wages from major lawsuits that could exhaust the limits of your primary coverages.
Q: If I move to a new apartment in Woodstock, does my Renters policy automatically transfer?
A: No. You must inform your agent of your new address and effective move date to ensure continuous coverage. Your cost is based on your specific location and home's security features.
