Car Insurance Rate Discount For High Mileage Cars?
Reader’s Question:
Like age and driving record, can the number of miles driven each year be a factor in determining the rates my insurance company in Greater Newark will set for me?

The more miles your car spends on the road mean the more opportunities there are for you to hit someone or for someone to hit you. You should therefore expect the possibility that your premium will be higher the more miles you expect to drive.
This rule is fairly simple and straightforward. Insurance premiums would be based on miles driven annually. The problem that may come up in basing car insurance to mileage are; how to monitor the odometer, how to maintain continuing coverage when insurance lapses in the middle of an emergency trip, and how to set up prepayment arrangements.
Drivers who are same in other respects such as age, location, gender, driving safety record – pay almost the same insurance rate if they drive 5,000 or 50,000 miles a year. Therefore, motorists who have the greatest amount of driving each year would pay the most for insurance – all other things being equal – and those who drive the least would pay the least.
But how far you drive is not much of a factor in determining your premium unlike a driver’s age and driving record. Some companies offer low-mileage discounts, but these don’t come close to capturing the actual difference in accident risk between high- and low-mileage drivers. It’s important to have discussions with your insurance agent or company if this kind of discount is being offered. Or, you always have the option to shop for other auto insurance companies to find the best rates available.
What Are The Penalties For Driving Without Insurance in Virginia?
Reader’s Question:
What are the penalties for driving a vehicle without car insurance in Virginia?
Rhonda
Suffolk, VA
Virginia car owners who are uninsured or have not paid the UMV fee will have their vehicle registration and driving privileges suspended. To have your license reinstated the driver must pay a $500 statutory fee, file a an SR-22 or Financial Responsibility Insurance Certificate with the Department of Motor Vehicle for three years and pay a reinstatement fee.
Being cited for driving uninsured will result in fines, cancellation of the registration on all cars that you own or co-own and suspension of your driver’s license. To check the amount of your fine, call the court listed on the citation since the amount can differ depending on the jurisdiction in which you received the ticket. Some VA courts have a system in which you can pay the fine online.
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

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).
