Lots of people pay for their car insurance the average auto insurance rates. In fact, there are better deals on the market. All it takes is some time to find them. Many people are so accustomed to their way of doing business that they don’t even imagine there might be a better way. They don’t compare the offers of various car insurance companies and they just renew their policy, without asking for more information or without looking for cheaper rates. They have done business with the same agent for years and they can’t believe somebody else could give them better rates.

In many years of renewing your policy with the same agent, did he ever tell you that your insurance costs are lower than the previous year? I guess not because insurance agents earn commissions based on what they sell. They have no interest in making you discounts because the more you pay, the higher their commissions will be. There’s no point in paying the average auto insurance rates. If you buy your policy online, you can get better rates. There are even companies that give you a discount when you buy your first policy from them. Simply changing your provider might save you money. Insurance companies that sell policies online don’t have to pay their agents anymore, so they are going to sell cheaper polices.  Read more...

In order to drive on California roads legally, every car owner in the state must possess California auto insurance. The best kind of insurance is the kind that offers comprehensive coverage at an affordable rate. Everything from bodily injury liability to property damages should be covered, and not just at the minimum level.  The cost of accidents usually far exceeds that of the minimum coverage options.  In the state of California, the minimums as of 2009 are ,000 for bodily injury liability per person; ,000 for bodily injury liability per accident; and ,000 for personal property damage liability.

While these minimums fulfill the requirements to legally drive in the state of California, most drivers choose more comprehensive coverage. This is exceptionally wise because these minimum coverage holders quickly find, in the event of an accident, that they are poorly underinsured.  It is not uncommon for medical bills to exceed ,000, and some cases are upwards of 0,000 or more.  For this reason, many motorists insure themselves for this much money to prevent a financial crisis if they are responsible for an accident.  There are other kinds of insurance coverage than simply liability, such as uninsured motorist coverage, which should also be included in a savvy driver’s California auto insurance coverage.  Read more...

Seizing cars is the latest step to get uninsured card drivers off the road, police in certain areas of the UK have been cracking down by seizing cars if it is found that the driver has not got an insurance policy to drive the car.

The system has not only been used in and about town but also on Britain’s motorways too, just in Lancashire and within one 8 hour shift police stopped and seized a total of 12 uninsured vehicles, which the owner has to fork out great expense to get back including fixed penalty fines and towing fees and of course then having to concede and take out car insurance.  Read more...

In October 2007 the safety organization “Tyresafe” ran a campaign which highlighted how important the tyres of your car are to your safety, with claims on insurance policies resulting from accidents caused by worn or dangerous tyres. In order to emphasize this there has been a request that garages give out free checks to motorists such as checking the pressure of the tyres of drivers that are driving legally on the road with car insurance. So when you take out a cheap car insurance policy you can get more than just peace of mind that you have insurance but also a free tyre check.

It is thought that up to a quarter of all motorists on the road drive around with tyres that are worn and some of these are considered to be deadly. Worn tyres means your car has less grip on the road and with winter and icy weather fast approaching checking your tyres and replacing them is just as important as taking out and finding a cheap car insurance policy. If car insurance prices are to remain low then it is essential that claims are kept to a minimum and worn tyres are just one of the many reasons which can cause an accident and so boost up the cost of car insurance.  Read more...

The start of 2008 brought great hilarity for those of us who keep a keen eye on the motoring industry – and especially those among us who sneer at anything less than a supercar. First, the joy of the internet and email meant I received a picture of a garden shed on wheels (yes, an actual shed) – with a clever fake press release heralding the launch of the new Daewood car! Very funny.

Then, in India, Tata Motors launched the world’s cheapest new car…the $2,500 Nano. Wizened industry-watchers heralded the apparent “breathtaking innovations in manufacturing technology in the global automobile industry based on severe cost-cutting”. Others were not so open-minded, with one United States media presenter describing the car as “a golf cart crossed with a jelly bean.”

But both events got me thinking – why on earth would someone buy a horrible new ‘Eurobox car’ when the money could be better spent on a fantastic classic car? This conundrum always baffles my colleagues at Sureterm Direct – the UK’s leading specialist classic car insurance company – so with their help here are my top 7 reasons to buy a classic car instead of a faceless, cheap, under-powered, Euro-shed.
