The Importance of Auto Insurance
This may seem like a naive question: but why is Auto Insurance necessary?
The best way to define auto insurance is as follows: it is a mutually beneficial agreement between the auto insurance company and a policy holder. The deal is simple: the auto insurance company pays for any losses (according to a policy's terms), and the policy holder pays a premium.
Auto Insurance provides coverage of property loss, liability, and medical expenses. If you are at fault in an accident, your insurance company may have to pay for your property loss and medical bills in addition to any damages that you caused to the other drivers car and any injuries that they sustained during the accident. Likewise, if you are in an accident and someone else is at fault, their insurance should cover your expenses as defined by their insurance plan.
Therefore, auto insurance effectively shields you from a potential lawsuit if you cause a car accident. In the event you are involved in a car accident with a person who is uninsured, your insurance may potentially protect you as well (this depends on the plan's specifics). In this case, if the insurance company wants to pursue legal action against the other driver for their losses, they can.
Factors that can determine your Auto Insurance premiums are age, gender, marital status, geographical location, previous driving violations, type of vehicle you wish to insure, accident claims, your credit rating, occupation, education, driving distance per year, years of driving experience, miles driven to work, business use of your vehicle, theft protection and safety devices on your car, and whether you have multiple drivers and cars on your policy. For instance, a married female driver over the age of 25 will have a lower rate than that of a single 18 year old male driver.
Drivers who reside in highly congested areas, such as big cities, will probably pay higher premiums, as they are more likely to be involved in car accidents than people who live in rural areas where there are far fewer cars. That being said, they can probably get a discount if they install devices in their cars that reduce their risk of injury and loss, such as safety and theft deterrent devices.
To make sure that you get the lowest premiums on your Auto Insurance, make sure that you shop around. One company may find your occupation to be a higher risk than another company, while another may find that your geographic location poses a greater risk than another carrier. It never hurts to get several quotes that all compare the exact same coverage. You never know, if a company knows that you are shopping around they may have a way to beat the lower quote of their competitor. - 21393
