Very Cheap Auto Insurance Coverage
Reader’s Question:
I heard from my friend that here in Arizona no matter what type of auto insurance coverage I have, if my windshield is broken, it would be replaced by my insurer. The reason is because auto insurance companies are required to do that. Is this true?
Tiffany

The state of Arizona has a financial responsibility law. This is created to make sure that in an event of a vehicular accident, the person/s involved has/have sufficient money to pay for the damage/s. The required auto insurance coverages are bodily injury coverage and property damage coverage.
Going back to your question, damage on the windshield would fall under full class coverage or comprehensive coverage. Both auto insurance policies are optional in the state of Arizona. Hence, with this, auto insurance companies are NOT required to cover for windshield damage, regardless whether you have those coverages or not. Auto insurance company can only pay for those damages if a policyholder has full class coverage or comprehensive coverage.

Compare Senior Auto Insurance Rates
Reader’s Question:
Is it true that getting auto insurance for a 55-year-old person is more expensive as compared if you are only around 35 years old? I heard this from a friend. What does age has to do with auto insurance rate? Can you explain this? I am from Manchester, New Hampshire.
Dave
Manchester, NH
Every auto insurance company differs from each other. They have their own guidelines in setting auto insurance rate for a particular person.
Some car insurance companies do consider a person who is 55 years old as a safe age. Meaning a person from that age group still poses a lower risk to be insured. Thus, it is still inexpensive to insure a person from that age range. However, some auto insurance companies believe that a person who is 55 years old or above poses higher risk. That is because some auto insurance companies believe that a person’s ability to drive safely decreases as a person ages.
I would suggest asking your auto insurance agent about how age affects a person’s auto insurance rate in Manchester, New Hampshire. Also, bear in mind that auto insurance rate is not based in age alone. There are a lot of factors that insurers consider and one of them is driving record. I would suggest keeping a clean driving record at all times is one sure way of saving on your car insurance premium.
Very Cheap Auto Insurance For Safe Drivers
Reader’s Question:
I have car insurance right now. I would say it’s not that expensive and it’s still affordable. I just wanna know what should I do to keep it that way? I mean, how could I keep my car insurance rate in Connecticut to be at affordable price?
Izabella
West Haven, CT
Hello Izabella!
I heard from my brother who is a car insurance agent himself that in order to keep the auto insurance premium down, follow these simple tips:
1. Always drive safely. As you see traffic violations and accidents are eye sore to auto insurance companies and they always cause an increase to car insurance rates.
2. If you can have enough money to pay the amount of deductible in an event of a loss, then increase your deductible.
3. If you are driving an old car, you might want to consider removing collision and comprehensive coverage on your car insurance.
4. If you are thinking on buying a new car, I would suggest go away from expensive cars because they would increase your car insurance rate.
5. If you are a teen or has a teen daughter or son under your auto insurance policy, demand for good grades.
6. If your age is over 62, consider getting a defensive driving class which will qualify you for a discount.
7. Always shop around. You’ll get difference car insurance quotes from different auto insurance companies.
Don’t forget to ask your auto insurance agent in West Haven, Connecticut for discount that your insurer is offering. Also ask the Connecticut Insurance Department for other questions you have regarding car insurance rates in your area.
Buy Cheap Good Driver Car Insurance in Arizona
Reader’s Question:
I am just curious. I am about to get auto insurance. I heard from a friend who just purchased his car insurance that auto insurance companies take a look at a person’s credit history with or without a person’s permission. Is that true? Is that being practiced here where I live? By the way, I am from Chandler, Arizona.
Abigail
Chandler, AZ
I’ve read something about your question. And yes, your friend is definitely correct.
According to the federal Fair Credit reporting ACT (FCRA), with or without a person’s permission, insurers are allowed to dig into a person’s credit information. However, insurers (in your case car insurance companies) must inform a person that they are going to collect credit information. Also, they must notify you that you have the right to access said information and have inaccurate information (if any) to be corrected.
I hope I was able to help you with this. Bear in mind that credit history is one the factors that affect car insurance premium. The better your credit history is the higher the chance of getting lower insurance rate. If you are shopping for car insurance rates in Chandler, Arizona you can seek the help of a car insurance agent or use the websites.

You should be able to get free auto insurance quotes without being asked to give out any personal information. There are only three basic things needed when obtaining auto insurance quotes such as your driver’s information, vehicle’s information and coverage desired.
While any business can ask for your Social Security number, there are very few entities that have the legitimate right to demand for it like motor vehicle departments, tax departments and welfare departments. Also, SSNs are required for transactions involving taxes; banks, brokerages, employers, and etc..
The quote form that you fill out online should be secure and your details are not shared with anyone other than the carriers for the purpose of quoting. Personal information must be provided such as age, date of birth, address etc., for purpose of generating quote rates. For example, your place of residence affects the quote price because each territory has specific rates. These kinds of personal questions must be asked because they affect your premium and it is important to provide accurate information to ensure that you get the proper coverage.
To assist you in finding affordable premiums, it would be wise for you to do a quote rate comparison. You can usually do this instantly and purchasing a policy online will only take within minutes.

New Driver Car Insurance – Why Does It Cost So Much?
Reader’s Question:
I’m a new driver here in San Francisco, CA. I still don’t have a car but I’m planning to get one, hopefully soon. I’m totally clueless when it comes to auto insurance stuff. Can you give me some tips on this?
Paige
San Francisco, CA
Sure Paige! The very basic thing you should know is what does California law requires for auto insurance coverage.
California State Law requires every owner and driver to maintain financial responsibility for accidents and there are four ways to establish such responsibility:
1. coverage by auto insurance policy;
2. a deposit amounting to$35,000 to Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV);
3. a surety bond amounting to $35,000, which must be acquired from a duly licensed company in CA; and
4. self-insurance approved by DMV
Now, let’s consider the types of auto insurance policies. Being in Bay Area also means getting an expensive auto insurance. Usually, there are 3 types of policy offered – preferred, standard, and assigned. Each policy differs in price and coverage.
Standard policy is for drivers with less traffic violations and/or cancellation of past polices. This policy offer lower premiums as compared to other kinds of policy. Preferred policies on the other hand are for California residents who have good driving history, (and I mean “clean” driving record) for three years. Lastly, Assigned Risk polices offer the most expensive rates but at the same time the offers the least amount of coverage.
I would also suggest for you to check on auto insurance companies. You can compare quotes here easily and faster and get the best policy that you think meets your needs.
Car Insurance For Good Student Driver With Discounts!
Reader question:
I pay for my teenager’s car insurance, and it is SO expensive! I know that I can’t just not have it, but it is such a pressure to pay that expense every month especially when I have a hard time paying my bills as it is. Is there anything I can do to ease the expense?
Jack
Tell your kid to get a job.
Just kidding. That is one option, though, if you want. But it’s not a definite option for anybody, because some people have different ideas about that as it concerns parenting. Some want ther kid to get a job, others want them to wait until they’re out of high school. Either way, it isn’t the only solution to getting the high cost of car insurance for the student driver off of your own back. There are discounts for everything, and for student drivers as well.
One of the things that you should always encourage in a child is the importance of paying good attention to his or her studies. Doing well, or at least doing your best, in school is one of the easiest ways to get ahead in life. Sometimes people get lucky and are able to get a job without schooling to back them up, but otherwise it’s normally a lot of hard work. Schooling doesn’t guarantee you, but it certainly helps.
One great way to help promote this value with your teenager is by making sure they pull good grades before allowing them to drive. It helps to keep your kid on track while at the same time giving you an easier way of getting student car insurance. How is that? Well, most auto insurance companies offer a wide range of discounts for various types of drivers, and one of the ones that can benefit you directly is the good student discount. The good student discount generally applies to students in high school or college who make Bs or above on their report cards, and you can sometimes get as much as 15% off of their portion of the car insurance payment just with that.
All you need for your kid to get the good student car insurance discount is a report card or, if the school year just ended, a transcript. Some companies don’t go by letter grades, but instead by grade point average, so it might be a little more difficult to get documentation of that, but a lot less difficult than paying all that money for your teenager’s car insurance policy.

Car insurance for the student driver with a good driving record
Personally, I think I would be more likely to purchase auto insurance (or anything, really) from a company that was run by aliens. It seems like it would be easier to get a claim through with them because they have less experience cheating humans out of their money than other car insurance companies run by earthlings. Paying way too much for car insurance for the student driver is one of the hardest things about young people getting insured with their vehicles, and although I can’t guarantee you that Mercury is going to save you from that (although you can get free online auto insurance quotes to find out), I can tell you some ways to save that are pretty much universal among all auto insurance companies.
We’ve already discussed the good student car insurance discount, which is one of the easiest ways to get a break on the amount you are paying on your auto insurance for your teenager (or for yourself, if you are that teenager). As a recap, what that involves is a discount of between five and ten percent on your insurance policy if you have a B average or better or, in some cases, make a 3.0 or better. This is not the only way for student’s to get discounted car insurance, though.
One of the reasons that students have to pay so much to begin with is because, since they are new drivers and thus less experienced, they aare statistically more likely to get into an accident that will require a claim to be filed. They are also statistically more likely to cause the accident, and to have mre serious ones. How do you prove to the car insurance company that you’re not like that? By keeping a good driving record. This doesn’t mean you’ll automatically start paying the same amount as someone older than 25 with a good record, but it will take a lot off of the normal young person price.
There will be a different requirement for your driving record depending on where you go, so make sure you ask around and maybe go online to get some free quotes. Some companies are okay with a year’s worth of clean record to get the discount, so you could get it as young as 16 or 17. However, some require five years, so you’ll have to wait until you’re halfway through college already. Either way, it helps you save on car insurance while you’re a student and much longer.
Cheers,
Fashun Guadarrama.
