Tips To Keep The Cost Of Teen Auto Insurance Down
by Herbert R. Williams
23% of teen drivers that were killed were drunk. In 2002 the economic estimated cost of police-reported crashes involving drivers between the ages of fifteen and twenty was Forty Billion Dollars ($40,000,000,000) according to the Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Teen Driver Insurance..A Major Concern.. Car insurance remains one of the most important safety nets that a teen driver can use. Insurance should be thought of as a safety net because the financially disastrous results that can come from an at fault accident are tremendous.
Consider a higher deductible. Going from a $250 to $500 or $1,000 deductible can save you 10 percent to 20 percent on your premium. What you have to weigh is whether you can absorb the out-of-pocket expense in the event of an accident.
It is very important that all drivers have a comprehensive insurance policy that covers all possible claims. Lots of people will think that comprehensive automatically means expensive, but this is not always the case. There are many options available for people on a limited budget who don't need all the 'bells and whistles'.
You're probably asking yourself; "How do I go about finding affordable coverage?" Well it isn't as hard as you might think. Start by using the web. You'll be suprised to find out how easy it is to do comparison shopping on the web.
Get as many quotes as you can. Some sell through their own agents (captive agents). These agencies have the same name as the insurance company. Some sell through independent agents who offer policies from several insurance companies (much more objective) and others do not use agents. They sell directly to consumers over the phone or via the Internet.
DON'T JUST BUY PRICE ALONE..
Ask your friends and relatives for their opinions and recommendations. Check with the Better Business Bureau and your state insurance commissioner on consumer complaints by company. Find an agent or company representative that will take time and answer your questions.
In order to find affordable car insurance, you will need to do a little investigating. You will need to shop around and apply for a quote. A quote is a dollar figure your insurance will cost based on your inquiry.
CHECK THE COMPANY RATINGS..
Choose a company that is financially stable. If a company is sick, so will be your insurance plan. Rating comanies like A.M. Best ambest.com and Standard & Poor's standardandpoors.com will give you a good snapshot of a company's financial health. Consumer magazines are another good place to check the ratings.
