There are different types of insurance being offered by insurance industry. There are health insurance which aims to take care of the financial factor when you get sick. In this kind of insurance, the main factor that will affect the insurance cost is your health status. There is also life insurance which aims to take care of the family left behind by the policy holder. In this type of insurance, the probability of how long or short you will live will affect the insurance premium. And, there is also vehicle insurance which is also known as car insurance, motor insurance or auto insurance. This type of insurance aims to protect you from financial backlash when your car gets involved in a car mishaps.

One of the major factors that will affect your vehicle insurance quote is the level of protection or coverage that you want to include in your policy.

• If you just want to meet the required coverage mandated by law, then you can get the bodily injury liability and property damage liability coverage. These 2 give protection to the innocent third parties – people and properties hit by your car.
• There are 16 states that require personal injury protection (PIP). This will give you reimbursements for your medical bills and salary loss incur due to car accident.
• Collision and comprehensive coverage will pay in the incident that your car get damaged or stolen, even if it’s your fault.
• Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage will cover you if the motorist at-fault has none or does not have enough vehicle insurance policy coverage.

There are still a lot of different types of coverage to answer your different needs. But the above mentioned are the most common types. The law only requires you to have bodily injury liability and property damage liability coverage. If you will only get what is required by the law, then your vehicle insurance quote will be minimal.

But if you want to include other types of coverage because you and your car need them, then you can expect to get a higher vehicle insurance quote. Nevertheless, you will feel more secure about your car as you will be financially protected from whatever kind of mishaps your car will get involved with.

Car Insurance Renewal Refused South Carolina

Reader’s Question:

I’m from South Carolina, and I have been with the same car insurance company for many years now. Since my insurance policy is almost expired, I went to the company to have it renewed, but they refused to approve it. What could be the reasons to refuse car insurance renewal?

Steven

Greenville, SC

In South Carolina, it is legal to drive uninsured, provided that you pay the annual fee of $550. You also need to be financially responsible if you cause a car accident. With medical and repair cost shooting up each year, having car insurance coverage will save you from the worries of having to pay huge amounts of money if ever you do cause an accident. That is why it is very important to consider a few things that may become reasons for refusal of car insurance renewal.

Firstly, you need to get an online review of your current car insurance coverage. Check out other companies’ websites to get an idea of the prevailing prices. Try to read on the pros and cons about the options available since many websites give out different options for insuring your car. This way, you will know if you really are getting your money’s worth from your current car insurance company.

Secondly, you need to review the points that may affect the favorable decision on your policy renewal. If you had multiple accidents in the past, your insurer may refuse to renew your policy based on this since you have a higher potential of filing claims, which could mean a great financial loss for the car insurance company. If you got multiple moving traffic citations, it could also affect your policy renewal. Although you can always take a driver improvement course to remove the tickets, the citations will be on your driving record, which is periodically checked by insurers.

If your renewal is refused, shop around. Companies use different methods in calculating risk. There always are car insurance companies out there that cater to those who have been refused by other insurers.

Frances

Baltimore, MD

Good question Frances. If there are two adults on an insurance policy and one of them is taken off of the policy (for many reasons, such as death), then the rate can be affected. It may possibly be lowered, it depends upon the rating system and if the insurance policy premiums were higher at all due to the second adult driver being on the insurance policy.

Contact your insurance agent in Baltimore, MD since insurance guidelines and rating systems differ, to find out how your specific insurance companies rating system works and how your rates would be affected in this type of situation. If your rates would not be lowered you can compare by shopping online if you have internet access, for better car insurance rates.

Do I Need Liability Or Comprehensive Auto Insurance Coverage?

Reader’s Question:

My car is already 10 years old, is there a point when one should consider not having liability, or comprehensive and collision insurance policy in Wilmington, Delaware?

Michael

Wilmington, DE

Car insurance and the types of optional insurance put on a certain vehicle are personal choices one has to make depending on the individuals financial and overall situation. Most states require some type of liability insurance on a car, so typically there is not a point in time in which to take off the state mandated liability insurance, unless you have sold or gotten rid of the car.

In order to confirm if you think physical damage (PD) insurance, comprehensive and collision, are necessary for your car first determine the value of your car. You then can weigh the value of your vehicle against your PD premium, as well as the deductible amount you would pay if you needed to use these coverages. An older vehicle that has a lowered actual cash value (ACV) may not be worth the extra expense of comprehensive and collision coverage, so you do not want to pay more for insurance than the vehicle you are protecting is actually worth. If you decide you want to keep comprehensive and collision on your car, you may see if you can lower your premiums for these coverages by raising your deductible. You may check as well if there are any discounts available for you in Wilmington, DE. If you decided that your vehicle does not need physical damage coverages any longer, you still will need to keep the state’s mandated minimum liability insurance on the vehicle.

I Was In an Acciden Now I Need To File An Auto Insurance Claim?

Reader’s Question:

What if I get into an accident in and the other driver doesn’t have car insurance? What if the other driver caused the accident, what would happen?

Denver

Huntsville, AL

In Huntsville and in any areas in Alabama, all drivers are mandated by law to carry 20/40 liability insurance to cover injuries or death of another in an accident. There are two potential problems: first, the driver is illegally driving without car insurance. Second, the driver only carries a minimum insurance coverage and your losses or car damages exceed that amount.

Most car insurance policies include Uninsured Motorist/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. If the other uninsured driver was the one who caused the accident, your own insurance policy will pay for your personal injuries, if you have “uninsured motorist” or medical payments” coverage. If the other driver’s auto insurance coverage is not enough to pay for all of your damages, your own insurance may pay the difference, if you have “underinsured motorist” coverage. If you do not have these kinds of car insurance or if your damages are more than the policy’s limit, you can sue the other driver’s negligence. If the other driver’s negligence was the cause of the accident, occupants in your car are covered for medical expenses and lost wages for a minimum of $20,000 per individual/$40,000 per accident. Thus, it will be best for drivers to purchase more than the minimum coverage. Also, it may be necessary to take your insurance company to court if they are not willing to cover the claim.

Do I Need Additional Auto Insurance For Pizza Delivery Vehicle?

Reader’s Question:

If I were to get a work as a pizza delivery driver in Watertown, South Dakota, do I need to buy additional car insurance to cover me while on the job?

Snyder

Watertown, SD

According to the South Dakota Department of Insurance most personal car insurance policies will exclude coverage for the car while it is being used for “business purposes” such as pizza delivery.

High Risk Insurance With SR22 – What Does It Cover?

Reader’s Question:

One of the employees had to obtain SR 22 insurance personally. We had to get a separate high risk insurance policy for her to be able to drive one of our company cars in Chicago IL. So, does her SR22 insurance policy cover her to drive any car including a company car?

Michael

Chicago IL

Generally, your employee’s insurance policy covers her when she drives other cars but as excess or secondary to the owner’s auto insurance. If her insurance would extend as secondary insurance to a company vehicle or work car would depend upon the terms and guidelines of her insurance policy and the guidelines of his insurance company.

The SR-22 insurance which is attached to her insurance is not a type of insurance but a form or certificate that the state is requiring him to have filed to prove that she is carrying the insurance on her that the state required. Typically this insurance is the state’s required liability car insurance.

Your employee can check from her insurance broker or agent to verify if her personal insurance policy would cover the company car but keep in mind that the company’s high risk insurance policy in Chicago will be primary and needs to stay on the company vehicle so that it will be properly covered.

Would You Like A Multi-line Car Insurance Discount?

Reader’s Question:

I heard it from my friends that I can save a lot of money by getting a multi-line insurance, how does it work? I’m thinking of getting a new insurance policy, I live in Omaha Nebraska.

Helene

Omaha, NE

A multiline insurance is an insurance instrument used to bundle the risk exposures of multiple insurance obligations into one insurance contract. The risk exposures put together are often related, such as property and casualty risks.

There are many different varieties of multiline contracts that exist, and they cover a wide range of risk exposures. The basis behind multiline contracts is that a firm is exposed to a portfolio of risk, and instead of creating a portfolio of insurance policies to manage that risk, they should use a single multiline contract to manage the portfolio of risks. One insurance contract is more efficient and less costly than many contracts.

Purchasing auto and home insurance from the same insurance company has several benefits. Most importantly, you’ll likely save a ton of money and it’s just so much easier to keep all your insurance in one place, provided you’ve chosen a good insurance company of course. When choosing a company, consider its reputation, location, service etc. (for example, see if you can check, pay and renew your policies online).
