Some Tips for Insured on Keeping Your Auto Insurance Premium Rates Down


Some Tips for Insured on Keeping Your Auto Insurance Premium Rates Down

There are so many ways that you can use to keep your auto insurance rates down and some of them you can use at the same time as other discounts to maximize your savings.

Here are some things that you can ask your auto insurance company for:

- Ask if you can receive a discount if you have more than one type of insurance with their company. For instance, you may find that you can have your auto insurance and your homeowner’s insurance with this company and they will provide you with a combined discount. Carry all of your insurance policies with them, such as auto, home, and life and you may find that you can get even more money off.

- If the driver of the car is a student or is listed as a driver on the car, you may find that you can get a good student discount. This is where the student maintains at least a B average on their report card. You may be required to take that report card to the automobile insurance company each time it comes out, but it really pays off. If grades go down, the discount may disappear until the grades go back up.

- See if there are any safe driver discounts available. When you haven’t had a ticket or an accident, you may find that there are discounts available for you.

- If you are a senior citizen and you’ve not had any accidents in a specific amount of time, there may be discounts available to you.

- You can always raise your deductible to cheaper car insurance premium online from auto insurer. However, you need to keep in mind that doing so will result in a higher out-of-pocket expense if an accident does occur. The standard deductible is $500, but some individuals will go as high as $2,000 to save some money on their premium. If you can pay $2,000 if an accident occurs, then that will work fine. Just make sure your deductible is not higher than what you can afford in case damage is done to your car and you need to pay it.

- You may wish to shop around. You may find a company that offers the same coverage for a lower price. You always want to compare before you make a commitment.

You want to use all of these tips so that you can save yourself quite a bit of money.

How you can compare auto insurance quotes online?

When finding the right company to do business with, it is very important that you compare. You can do this by calling companies and recording the different rates that they quote you. You can also do this by going to their websites and filling out the forms on their websites to receive quotes for the auto insurance you want. This allows you to compare in a much easier way. Take all of that information and make an informed decision.

Help answer the question


How does the insurance company find out about moving violations?
My understanding is that when you get a moving violation (e.g, a speeding ticket), the police or the courts or whoever will notify your insurance company. When your insurance company finds out and finds out about the points that are now on your license, they raise your insurance premium. However, a friend tells me that he's received several speeding tickets, that his insurance company has never found out (meaning no one is notifying his insurance company), and that his premium has therefore never gone up. How is that possible?

    “Our government is not going to research and develop new drugs or treatments.” You could not be more wrong about this, 4951WEDDEL, because our government spends BILLIONS on drug research each year! Get a clue.

    I have seen many people on here say that you are automatically covered when your parents have full coverage, including insurance agents. This is not true of all companies. Call your insurance carrier and ask. It is a lot easier than finding out after an accident that you are not covered.

    most insurance policies range from 30 to 90 days on a cancellation for non payment.

    You need to stop and read your policy carefully. If this is a home owners policy there is likely an exclusion for using the house as a business.

    When you bought the insurance you were probably purchased it through an agent. He didnt care what you told him. all he wanted to do was sale the policy. It's the underwriter that now wants to cancel it.

    Bottom line. I think that you have two options.
    1. Purchase a commercial property insurance policy. (expensive but doable.)

    2. Search around and find another homeowners insurance policy and buy 1M dollars worth of umbrella coverage.

    I'd spend my time looking for option two. The minute you ask about an umbrella, agents will be knocking your door down.

    the Walter Reed scandal is a result of the Bush admin cutting their budget and refusing to pay for renovations! Get a clue. While they were shouting about “support the troops” they were cutting the budget for services for our veterans!

    I think you should go to the local building department (city or county) and apply for as built permits for these unpermitted structures. Although costly, it's better than Code Enforcement coming by, realizing that those additions/properties are unpermitted and going to court, seeking an injunction to have you (1) obtain as-built permits or (2) having them torn down.

    It is more expensive to have Code Enforcement come in and seek relief from the courts (assuming you don't comply and apply for as built permits) because you may have to pay their attorneys' fees when they win.

    I believe you apply for as built permits from the Building Department in the city. Make sure you're in the incorporated portion of the city, otherwise you'll have to go to the County Building Department.

    Also, if the bank didn't know that these additions were unpermitted, you wouldn't have an recourse. Most foreclosures are sold as is and requires buyer's diligence. A title insurance policy may or may not disclose unpermitted additions (depends on the wording of the policy). As I recall, a title insurance policy only guarantees that you have marketable title to the property.

    I was entirely unimpressed by his inclusion of anecdotes in his speech. but because there are lots of stupid people that are impressed by such things it was politically expedient if manipulative. One that sadly has been repeatedly used by every president since Reagan because it is such a good propaganda techniques.

  11. #11 by ..???.. on October 16th, 2009

    Reagan warned of obama and his kind, and I'm not referring to his race, He is a socialist, and health care is his door opener.

    michalchik Your slander makes me sad for you. I will also say I believe that personaly and profesionaly those I have touched would probably line up and spit on you for slandering me. I wonder if you could say the same about your work and life??

  13. #13 by eventplanner14 on October 16th, 2009

    Call an insurance agent. They will know what insurance you need and how much it will cost. The insurance is to cover the people and items at the events you coordinate, not you personally.

    I am not interested in what you imagine the time-line might be.You can tell me as many stories as you like and I can make up stories about any other medical system and clain I have insight. I can imagine that insurance companies delay proceedures for years in the hope that patients will die or give up. You need to deliver some facts that can be independently verified. Haven’t you ever written a report for school? Do you know what a citation is? Is backing up your assertions too hard for you?

    Some group policies at work do not care about preexisting conditions.
    Some do. It is usually the private ones, not work connected that
    up the rates. Probably something to do with—- if you can work, then
    you probably are not too sick, or disabled, so you can be insured.
    If it is a dependent child, would you need to take insurance for you
    as well as the child, and what is the waiting period.
    Work insurance takes a while to go into effect. You may have a rider
    or whatever it is called, that will exclude treatment, or make you wait
    so long to have insurance, or treatment for the preexisting condition.
    I don't know for sure, you could find out some how who the employer
    or potential employer uses and check it out on line or by calling the company.

    I was not inadvertant in my statement of experience. You sound as one that is focussed on having me provide for you!! You are now only engaged in trying to impeach my statements. why dont you offer any facts rather than stories?? Just call your local hospital and ask how far they have thier surgical center schedule filled. You will probably find I am correct. You seem like a brat that cannot do this though!

    Apparently you don’t know what hearsay and anecdotal evidence is. Look it up I don’t have time or space to educate you.

    Thanks for inadvertently admitting that you have a conflict of interest. In an effort to establish your Bona Fides you have admitted you are one of the parasites sucking American health-care dry, driving up costs for your own enrichment and perfectly happy to let people go without as long as your bottom line is fine. Anything you say now is suspect.
