Car Insurance
Car Insurance
Protecting your car is primarily in case of traffic accidents, although it comes in handy when dealing with the after effects of bad weather or theft as well. Depending on the package you purchase, some or all of the insured party, the insured vehicle, and any third parties involved could be covered. While national laws typically make it illegal to drive without any third party insurance, coverage against the other two are generally optional.
Depending on where you live, your premiums will either be mandated by the government or decided upon by your insurance company. Although the company will determine the amount in accordance with government regulations, it has more freedom to take into account other factors it believes will have an impact on any future claims. These include the specifics of the car itself, your own age and gender as the driver, and what distances the car is used for.
Although it’s a contentious issue, car insurance companies cite undisputable statistics that suggest men not only drive more miles than women each year, but that they also have a higher accident rate than their female counterparts. So, too, are there higher premiums for teenage drivers, even those who as of yet have no driving record – good or bad. It isn’t until you hit 25 years old that insurance companies start to give you a bit of a break.
Whatever your gender or age, there are different types of coverage you can purchase on top of the minimum required. Liability insurance covers the fixed amount of damages that the driver is legally obliged to pay as a result of an accident or negligence. Collision coverage protects any insured vehicle that has been involved in an accident. It will pay for repairs to the damaged car, or provide the entire cash value of the vehicle if the company decides it is not repairable.
While those are the two main types of coverage, there are many others that are available to help protect your auto. Comprehensive insurance provides coverage for anything other than collisions, such as fire or poor weather. Uninsured coverage helps when a third party does not have enough in the situation. Loss of Use pays for your rental car while your damaged one is being repaired. Finally, there is Roadside Assistance, which helps pay for the cost of towing your car.
Car insurance is becoming an increasingly complicated affair. Insurance companies can now even install GPS-based technology in cars to report back to them on your driving habits. What isn’t complicated, however, is in understanding the need for adequate auto protection.
