It is a fact that the cost of auto insurance is increasing day by day, just at the the same time as the number of people searching for cheap car insurance price quotes is also rising exponentially. A double edged sword indeed! When it comes to securing cheap auto insurance, your choices are vast. We help you swim through the shark infested auto insurance waters and EAT THE SHARK!
A good place to start with online resources is to compile a list of the different insurance companies available to learn in detail what the various insurers have to offer and what their comparative rates are. When you wheel and deal directly with auto insurance companies, the "middleman" is taken right out of the equation, and this helps a company keep their rates as low as possible. In this way the internet has really promoted competition between the different auto insurance companies, and helped to keep the rates lower. It is however important not to confuse price with reliability. Both are important considerations. A reliable auto insurance company is one that has a good reputation of paying or settling claims in the fastest time possible and pays the correct amount on your claim. Bargain auto insurance is no good to you if the company refuses to pay when you have problems down the track!After you’ve found a quote that you like, and done your due diligence on the reliability of the company concerned, purchasing auto insurance online allows you to either accept the quote right then and there. Alternatively, you can opt to receive the rate provided in the mail. The first option is obviously quicker, but some people prefer getting quotes sent out in a traditional way, and either option is fine. Probably the most difficult choice will be which online auto insurance provider to choose from in order to receive your free quotes in the first place. One of the key advantages of getting online auto insurance quotes in the first place though (as opposed to over the phone) is the fact that you can collect your thoughts in the privacy of your home or office before you talk to an insurance company representative. So there is no need to feel flustered or somehow pressured to buy. Instead you can consider your insurance options calmly and in your own time.
Looking at the potential auto insurance cover itself there are many different factors to consider. To begin with, the main aspect of auto insurance that really comes into play when you have an accident involving other people and/or property is the liability coverage and/or bodily injury protection. So it is important to assess those carefully. Some of the other components of auto insurance cover are property damage liability, medical payments coverage, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, comprehensive cover, and collision coverage. How important these different components are though will depend on your individual circumstances, and also where you live. For example, according to California auto insurance law, a driver requires a minimum policy of $15,000 bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 coverage for all bodily injured people, and $5,000 property damage coverage for a single accident. (Though these figures obviously can change, and vary State to State, so make sure to check yourself before taking out any policy) Many websites and advocates of insurance recommend having a minimum of $100,000 for bodily injury protection per person and at least $300,000 for property damage costs and physical injury costs. Florida state minimum insurance is Personal Injury Protection and Property Damage. Let me illustrate: If you live in a state where the minimum liability requirement is for example, $40,000, that’s all the insurance will cover in a crash. So it is important to be clear on what your auto insurance does and does not cover you for, and by how much. If you don't think it is enough, then you may need to increase the level of your cover so you feel properly protected.
Another factor for you to look into before you finally settle and pay your very first premium is the financial strength rating of the auto insurance company that you are considering. This can generally be checked on a state by state basis, and I go into more detail about other strategies on the website. Hopefully though this has been a useful introduction to starting to successfully swim in the shark infested auto insurance waters!
