TIPS FOR INSURING YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE
Tip 1: Know your car insurance requirements
Most countries require you to carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. Many countries have "no-fault" auto insurance systems. Coverage for medical costs for you and your passengers is optional in some countries. Coverage for damage to your car is optional.
Tip 2: Write up your personal car insurance profile
List pertinent information concerning what type of vehicle you drive, where you drive, who else drives, what your driving record is, where you live, what optional safety features your car has. This profile will make the next step easier.
Tip 3: Comparison Shop
Prices for the same coverage can vary by hundreds of dollars, so it pays to shop around. Ask your friends, check the Yellow Pages, and call your state insurance department for guidance. Contact insurance agents or companies for general pricing information. Select a few insurers for personalized quotes.
Tip 4: Meet with potential insurance agents
Make a few appointments, bring your personal car insurance profile with you, and ask questions. You want a fair price and quality service. Ask about available discounts, higher deductibles, service options and claims procedures after accidents. Take notes.
Tip 5: Compare Again
Consider cost, coverage offered, and quality of service available. Select your insurer.
Tip 6: Read your policy
Yes, even the fine print! Ask questions. Keep your policy at hand. Call your insurer to keep your policy up-to-date, inform your agent of any changes (new car, new job, new driver, etc.), and ask periodically about any possible discounts. Review your policy yearly with your insurer.
Tip 7: Keep your insurance information with you
Many states require drivers to carry a proof-of-insurance card with them when driving. Ask your insurer for a card, and keep it in your wallet or in your car.
