In order to operate a motor vehicle we are required to purchase auto insurance for the priveledge. In general we walk into an insurance agency with little to no knowledge about the process, willing to accept what’s handed to us with minimal information about what’s actually covered.
It’s human nature to want to trust. We go into a business with confidence that the person inside knows what they are doing, and wouldn’t lead us astray. This often leads to anxieties and dissapointment in the end when we learn this isn’t always the case.
Many people accept only the basic insurance required by law, not taking any extras. These people will often use the internet to seek out cheap companies, compare rates and go with whomever is the cheapest in town, skipping over the important policy details just to get on with their day, and out on the road.
You must read the fine print when purchasing auto insurance! That great premium you recieve a quote for might be hiding sub standard care in the case of an accident! There is a great chance that the small amount you save on your premium offers much less coverage and hence much less return in the event of a problem.
Many car insurance companies offer incentives such as road side assistance and free rental cars. You may one day be shocked to find out after an accident that the road side assistance your offered can sometimes come at a high premium! Make sure to read the fine print to see exactly what’s covered, don’t be stuck on the side of the road distressed with nowhere to go!
Those rental car promises look good in writing, however in many cases these \”free\” cars only apply for the first few days after your accident, leaving you with a pretty steep bill if your car takes longer to repair than they think it should!
To many people, our car is like a second home. We keep many valuable things in there! You may have an expensive stereo, your laptop, maybe even jewelry! Many people have been shocked to discover in the event of auto theft, their insurance only covers the car, forcing them to take a huge loss on any valuables left inside.
Some clauses in insurance policies let you pay lesser premiums. But it gives limited coverage too. If a person has bought a policy with named driver clause and his spouse has an accident while driving his car then probably he might not have any claim. He can claim only if the accident happened while he was driving the car. It is always better to read the fine print of your insurance policy to avoid the pitfalls of car insurance.
