Car Insurance
Before your state or lender insisted your vehicle be insured, you knew you needed car insurance.

The Autoblog insurance guide is designed to make securing auto insurance both effortless and affordable. A menu of reputable providers will supply competitive quotes for the coverage you need, at rates you can afford. While behind your laptop you can insure your rail and begin to feel secure behind the wheel.
Q: How much is the average car insurance?
A With so many variables associated with insuring a car, establishing an ‘average’ is difficult. With that, insuring a vehicle in an urban area is more expensive than coverage in a rural area, securing total coverage is more expensive than obtaining only liability, and your driving record will factor significantly into your rates. Most studies suggest an across-the-country average of $800 per year, but insuring your 16-year old might cost four times that, while obtaining only liability on your 16-year old minivan might be 1/4th that.

Q: What does travel auto insurance cover?
A Few things complicate travel as much as a car accident or hospitalization. And if involved in a car accident on a vacation, you or your passengers might suffer both. Insurance is significant wherever you and your vehicle might be, but it’s exceptionally significant when traveling. When comparing insurance providers, you need to consider three aspects of your coverage: Private Liability, the Collison Harm Waiver, and Supplemental Coverage. Private Liability coverage pays the bills if you are at fault, the Collision Harm Waiver will repair or substitute your vehicle, and Supplemental Coverage is just that – a means of covering those unforeseen expenses that are an unpreventable product of an unforeseen accident. It’s why they’re called accidents.
Q: What can I do to lower my Auto insurance costs?
An If you park an expensive vehicle on the street in a congested, urban area you are most likely paying an excellent deal for your auto insurance. Conversely, if you drive a less expensive, older vehicle in the suburbs and garage that vehicle every evening, you’ll most likely pay significantly less. However, if you’re staying where you are and driving what you drive, you can still reduce costs of insurance with the addition of an anti-theft menu of modifications to your car, maintaining a clean driving record while opting for defensive driving, and improving both your driving habits and driving routine.
Q: Am I covered if I drive someone else’s vehicle?
A Generally, coverage while behind the wheel goes with the vehicle you’re in – and not who’s in the vehicle. If, however, the vehicle you’re driving is not insured, or the coverage does not match those costs associated with the accident, your policy’s coverage will kick in to close that gap. For specific answers to the thresholds of your coverage, regardless of what you’re driving, it’s best to consult your insurance agent.
Q: If I rent a car, am I covered?
A While driving a rental car or truck your own insurance coverage may or may not cover you, your passengers and vehicle. In that this coverage will vary state by state, it’s best to take the question to your insurance company for a finish and accurate evaluation of your current coverage, as well as the costs associated with any supplemental coverage you might need or wish to secure. It’s far better to pay the relatively petite fees prior to a rental than the thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs if your own policy were to fall briefly.
