Auto Insurance Basics

Haziran 4th, 2008

Insurance is part of our very life. It is wise to know the basic mechanism and how-to’s of this world. Below are some explanations and hints to make your life easier and to make you save money.

Car Rental Insurance
We’ve all experienced the insurance pitch at the rental car counter. The agents enthusiastically
encourage you to purchase car rental insurance, or what’s commonly referred to as a collision damage
waiver (CDW). This damage waiver is regularly endorsed by rental car agents, who often receive
incentives to push this oversold product. The good news is—you don’t need it. That’s assuming you have
full coverage on your own car, which commonly includes collision and comprehensive. In short, in most cases the coverage is unnecessary and declining it will save you some money.

Auto Insurance Tips

[#3: Edit Options>MightyAdsense>Adsense Code]

Getting a good deal on auto insurance is a hard job. Especially keeping your premiums from rising? That can feel like playing a game where the rule maker refuses to tell you the rules.
Here are a dozen ways the industry works, with tips to help you will save:

If you have good credit report, you will pay less. Almost all insurers pull your credit report. Why? Statistics have shown a direct correlation between your credit score and the likelihood that you will file a claim. Insurers also know that if you pay your bills in a timely fashion and have had the same credit accounts for a long time, you’re more stable than someone who pays late and frequently opens and closes accounts. They use this information to create your “insurance risk score and statistics,” which is one factor that determines your auto-insurance rate.
Tip: Your insurance-risk score is not available to you, but it may be similar to your credit score. If you have unusual credit activity, wait a month for it to return to normal before buying auto insurance. If your credit history is shaky, clean it up as soon as you can.
