Back in the day, taking your time to compare the offers from different insurance companies in order to get an adequate and cheap coverage for your car was quite hard and exhaustive. There was no Internet, no online quote sites and in order to get all the information you need, you had to go to agents and contact the insurance companies one by one. You had to call the representatives or go to the office in order to get a single quote for your car, and shopping around meant that you had to repeat this over and over until you get enough quotes in order to compare them. And if you needed to renew or modify your policy by adding some clauses you had to go to the office again and again. It’s evident that it all required a lot of time, patience and money, of course.

When you start off on your tour of the internet, one thing becomes clear almost immediately. If you use the free online search engines, you can get a flood of quotes into your inbox. All the major auto insurers are tied into one or more of the search engines and they all respond to searches with their quotes. This buries you under a mountain of information. There just is not enough time to follow up every quote on every changed variable. Assuming, of course, that you got quotes using different factors, e.g. changing the amount of the deductible, how many miles a year you drive, and so on. The only way you can work out how to get the maximum discounts is to play with the system. So, if you are starting the process of finding a new vehicle to drive, first check out the premium rates on all the makes and models you are thinking about buying. You will be surprised by big the differences are. Then look at payment methods for the insurance. There are discounts available if you pay the premium as an annual lump sum. Should you bundle the home with the car insurance? This can save at least 10%. Insure more than one vehicle? There are so many options giving you a discount, you need to work your way through multiple searches to understand how much money can be saved.
Talk to your friends and there is likely to be one suggestion they all make. Go for the maximum deductible. This gives you the biggest single discount. OK. So they are advising you to self-insure. Instead of looking to the insurance company to pay all your claims, big or small, you are signing up to a deal where the insurer only pays the big claims and you pay all the small claims. Look back over your driving career and talk to your family and trusted friends. Find out how many accidents they have had and roughly how much damage was caused.

The world of insurance is ruled by statistics. Actuaries collect all the information they can about every traffic accident in the US. Then, because everyone wants the most complete information possible, the insurers share the information about their own claims and the accidents they have found where no claim was made. It makes for an impressive amount of data. The majority of the information about claims is routed through the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE). Because this is a national resource, all the major insurers from around the country search it before making quotes for new business. If there are no claims registered against your name, the premium will be the standard rates for someone of your gender, age and driving experience with local variations based on where you live. But if one or more claims are registered, the new insurers may decide you are a high-risk driver and try to deter you with a high premium. There’s nothing illegal or unethical about this. It’s just the way the business works.
Because it’s a national resource, the quality of the information is usually quite reliable. When a search is made, your history over the last seven years is supplied. If you are worried about what data is stored about you, the Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you the right to a copy. Read the rest of this entry »
