With every change in life you face, make sure to ask yourself, “Am I protected?”. One major focus on this website is to help people, like you and me, maintain financial stability. One way is to help customers save more on insurance costs, hence “low-insurance.org”, and the other way is to make sure the insurance we choose properly protects us from any financial hardship that being uninsured/underinsured can cause. We must remember, Insurance is like our “body armor” to our setbacks in life.

.

Example Setback:

.

Your son or daughter has been accepted to college. Your thrilled for their success and cosign for them to get a studio apartment just a couple blocks away from the school. One Saturday night comes along and what time is it? Party time. The party gets a little out of control, a fight breaks out and someone’s kid catches a right hook. This puts the kid in the hospital for months. The student must of fell off the balcony or something. A lawsuit follows. Being the parent and the cosigner of the apartment, you find yourself being sued for 80,000. How prepared were you for this battle.

.

There are going to be many times in life where it may be wise to determine whether an additional insurance policy is something to look into. Whether you buy a new car, an above ground pool, a collection of rare art or even a territorial dog take a minute and weigh out the risks. Depending on the risk, you may want to consider enrolling into an insurance coverage to protect you financially.

One of the biggest concerns with classic car owners is getting the correct amount in return for claims made.  For example if you own a 68 camaro, you may find the book value on the car to be extremely lower than its real value.  These days, its hard to find a nice 68 camaro under $20,000.  In the event of an accident, it’s important to the owner to get the true value back from the insurance company..

.The solution to this is to request an optional coverage known as stated-amount coverage.  What you do is take pictures of the interior and exterior of the car.  Send the pictures as well as a market value appraisal, ordered from a trusted appraiser, to your insurance provider.  Your camaro will then be listed on the policy for the true value and so will your premium.  It may be wise to re-appraise the car every 6 months to make sure your classic is listed correctly on the policy.  The value of cars like this are continually rising and for something like this, you want to be properly covered.

After an accident, your vehicle may need to be repaired. Here are some things you need to know:

.

Check your deductible.  If the damage to your vehicle is’nt major, it may be less than your deductible. For example, if your bumper needs to be repaired and is estimated to cost $199, and you have a $500 deductible, you will be responsible for the entire amount of $199. The insurance company will cover any repairs after the initial deductible has been paid. If you have a $500 deductible and the damage exeeds that amount, for example the repair estimate is $1050, you would pay the first $500 and the insurance would take care of the remaining $550.

.

The insurance company will assign an adjuster to estimate the damage to the car and how much the company will pay to have it fixed. It may also be wise to get a few quotes from other body repair shops for estimate comparisons. The final choice of repair shop is yours. You may want to use a repair shop the insurance company chooses. If you choose a different one, be aware you may have to pay the difference if your body shop’s estimate is higher than the insurance company’s, unless the additional costs can be justified and agreed upon.  The first company may not notice something that needs repair that your company may have picked up on it.  With car parts, it sometimes can get tricky.  If you choose to put a brand new part on an older car instead of a salvaged or remanufactured part, you may have to pay the difference in cost.  If your car is brand new, you may find yourself fighting with the insurance company to make sure they understand the insurance was covering a new car which means you should be entitled to new replacement parts.

Compare Insurance Quotes and Save

One car I owned in my early 20s was a turbo charged eagle talon. Being a pretty fast car, the performace could never compare to that of a Corvette. My insurance rates, however, felt like it should have. My rates were through the roof. Fully covered with one accident and two tickets still dwindling on my record from a couple years ago, I was shelling out roughly $400 a month. This was my major financial OUCH. I eventually got myself into the position where I could pay off the rest of my car loan and change my coverage from “full coverage” to “liability only”. This took my payment down from $400 a month to $67 a month. I cannot imagine the coverage cost if It was a Corvette I was cruising. The insurance costs will increases with the increase of risk.

Take that Chevrolet Corvette I mentioned. A well known example of American Muscle. Auto enthusiasts nationwide have much respect for this top sports car for it’s beautiful design and it’s high perfomance. When insurance agents are placed in the position to cover a policy on this car they see something totally different, a dangerous car that reaches top speeds faster than many people can handle. The risk of crashing isn’t all there is for the provider to be concerned with. The Corvette also attracts it’s share of car theft, vandalism (”haters”) and the high cost of repair in the event of an accident. Avoiding tickets will be another battle a driver must concour. With all the performance within the drivers reach, for some it will take a lot of patience and self control to be behind the wheel of a high perfomance Corvette. When looking for insurance make sure to take advantage of every discount you possible can. Merging homeowner’s and auto insurance together is one good step to take. Another is to be a responsible driver and avoid traffic violations, ask the agent you choose if there are any discounts availabe within your reach and make sure to shop around for quotes. Quote comparisons are a great way to save.

Above is a video I felt would make a great addition to this article. This may play as a good example of how an insurance provider views a
high performance ride like this.
