Praetorian Insurance Company is now part of QBE North America after a successful acquisition by QBE Limited Group from Hannover Re. Working under a new parent, there is almost no change in Praetorian’s insurance scope that it still sells and underwrites business policy including personal auto. Many parts of its plan comply with QBE’s products, allowing the acquisition to complement QBE’s existing strategy. The parent company is in Australia, but it has multiple sub-divisions in America, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions.

Types of coverage for personal auto policy always depend on states’ regulations. Every state has different rules regarding auto insurance,Personal Auto Coverage by Praetorians Insurance Company Articles and all drivers must comply with the rules regardless of where they live. To be able to do business in any state, every company has to acquire a license. Some companies have a license to conduct business only in certain states, and this may result in affiliations with other insurers. Consumers should be aware of this practice to avoid confusions at a later date. However, Praetorian Insurance Company has the license to sell and underwrite the personal auto policy in all 50 states as well as in District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The good thing is that all consumers deal with only one insurer to simplify the policy-purchasing process.

 

Praetorian Insurance Company allows every consumer to work with independent agents to get the best rate for the best financial protection from the auto policy. The company also has affiliate agencies, but they are all available for homeowners program, not for auto. Independent agents are like middlemen in the insurance industry; they understand everything about auto policy including perils, rates, discounts, special offers, and types of coverage. An independent agent works on behalf of the consumer, providing services to get the best possible deal. There is no affiliation between Praetorian Insurance Company and independent agencies.

 

Types of Auto Insurance Coverage

 

47 states require drivers to purchase liability insurance, and 15 states also require drivers to purchase PIP (Personal Injury Protection). Some types of coverage are mandatory, and your state determines the minimum limit for the coverage as well. Understanding your state laws is an important part of buying auto insurance. Besides the mandatory coverage, you have to consider the extra ones too such as towing, medical payment, comprehensive, collision, and rental reimbursement. An independent agent is a helpful third-party service to analyze, calculates, and determines risks, so you make the right purchase without reducing the protections. Praetorian Insurance Company offers an array of auto coverage as follows.

 

  • Liability: it is mandatory in most states, and it acts as proof of drivers’ financial responsibility. The coverage pays for damages or injury in the event of an accident in which you are at fault. Your state determines the minimum limit of liability coverage you can purchase. Because it also provides financial protections for defense and court costs, you can increase the limit to an adequate amount.

 

  • Medical Payment: this coverage pays for the medical cost for your injuries regardless of who is at fault in an accident. It is a protection for yourself, and Praetorian Insurance Company allows you to set a limit that you think is enough.

 

  • PIP (Personal Injury Protection): mandatory coverage in some states. PIP is similar to Medical Payment coverage. It pays for medical expenses for your injuries or treatment due to an accident. Some people choose to omit both medical payment and PIP (when not mandatory coverage) because they have separate health insurance coverage. If your health insurance covers injuries from road accidents, you can omit it as well.

 

  • Physical Damage: Praetorian Insurance Company’s Physical Damage coverage is another name for Collision and Comprehensive. Both cover damages to a car, but for different reasons.

 

  • Collision coverage provides financial protections for repair or replacement for damages due to road accidents or collisions with another vehicle or property.

 

  • Comprehensive coverage provides financial protections for repair or replacement for damages due to non-accident causes for examples theft, vandalism, flood, fire, falling objects, and animals.

 

  • Motorist: it acts like Collision and Comprehensive, but it is a different coverage that applies in the event of the accident where the other driver has no insurance policy or insufficient policy limit.

 

Praetorian Insurance Company combines all those types of coverage in FlexAuto programs. It allows the company to determine individual pricing for each consumer. The primary variable in such pricing method is driving behavior. A customer with clean records or claim-free account has more affordable pricing than those with traffic tickets. Analysis of each record is on a regular basis, so there is good chance of improving records and get more affordable rate after every renewal.

FlexAuto also offers Accident Forgiveness Program, which waives premium surcharge for every consumer who has at least four years of continuous coverage or at least three years of zero at-fault accidents claim.  For better protections, the company offers some optional coverage too such as Towing and Labor, Transportation Expense (Rental Reimbursement), and Audio/Visual Equipment. A set of discounts are available for examples:
