How do I know which type of auto insurance coverage is best for me?
Auto insurance is divided into many different types of coverage:
Property Damage Liability pays to repair any damage your vehicle may cause to somebody else's car, house, fence, etc. Also required in most states, and also recommended by us for any driver.
Bodily Injury Liability pays for bodily injury claims others might make against you in the event of an accident. It also covers the cost of your legal defense. Required in most states, we suggest that everyone carry this type of coverage.
Medical Payments Coverage pays for medical expenses you or any of your passengers require as the result of an accident, regardless of who is at fault. This also covers you if you're the victim of a hit-and-run. The form of coverage varies by state. Even if coverage is optional in your state, we recommend it due to your financial responsibility to anyone injured in your vehicle.
Comprehensive Coverage pays to fix your car or truck if it is damaged by something other than a collision. This includes theft, vandalism, and most natural disasters. (If the vehicle is overturned, the incident is considered a collision). Like collision (see below), comprehensive is not required but it makes sense if your vehicle still has a good market value.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage pays if you are injured in an accident and the other party carries insufficient or no liability insurance. Although not required in all states, it is generally recommended.
Collision Coverage pays for damages to your vehicle when you hit something. In considering whether to buy this coverage, compare the cost of the insurance to the market value of your car.
Other types of coverage include towing and labor coverage, and rental reimbursement insurance. Adding these to your Response Insurance policy is usually inexpensive and can save you significant amounts of money should you have a breakdown or accident.
How much auto insurance coverage should I have?
This is something you should discuss with an agent. Basically, you will want to take into account your personal assets and how much you might lose if you are ever sued for damages by another driver, property owner or injured party.
How do the drivers on my policy affect my rate?
Drivers with better driving records are likely to get better rates. Inexperienced drivers, or those with accidents and violations, pay more. Mature drivers with good driving records are most likely to get the better rates. Because the accident rate for people under age 25 is the highest of any other age group, young drivers with limited driving history will usually pay more.
How does where I live affect my rate?
The more drivers in your area, the greater the chances that you'll have an accident. That's why rates are generally higher in densely populated areas. In addition, certain cities also have higher theft and vandalism rates than others and, consequently, higher rates for those types of coverages.
What steps can I take to reduce my rates?
1.) Purchase a policy from our Insurance - the company that rewards responsible drivers.
2.) Maintain a clean driving record.
3.) Choose a vehicle with high safety ratings.
4.) Purchase an anti-theft device.
5.) Increase your deductible.
Can I switch Insurance in the middle of my policy term?
YES! Safe drivers can start benefiting from low rates and other rewards at any time. And when you switch, your current insurance company should refund you on a pro-rated basis for any premiums you've paid in advance.
our insurance advisors will explain the simple process of enrolling with us.
If I switch my policy, when will my new Insurance policy become effective?
Your coverage can start immediately after we approve your eligibility for coverage and you pay your first premium installment. Often, this can be done over the phone in as little as 15 minutes.

For 6 month policies,
1 Payment.
2 Payments (50% down with the balance due in 2 months).
4 Payments (40% down with 3 payments due in 30 day increments).

10 Payments (40% down with 9 payments due in 30 day increments).
Can I use a credit card to pay my first installment?

What should I do if I am involved in an accident?
We're ready to respond to your needs after an accident 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our first concern is your safety. By following these simple steps, you can help us make good on our promise to get you back on the road as soon as possible.

4) Gather as much information about the accident as possible.
5) As soon as you can - even from the scene if possible -
After I have reported an accident, how will my claim be handled?
After you report the claim, it will be assigned to a professional trained and experienced in helping you get your car and your life back into action as soon as possible. Our claims team will stay in touch throughout the process to keep you informed and answer any questions you may have.
If someone else drives my car, is that person covered under my policy? Am I still covered?
While some coverage may vary by state and the terms of your policy, generally your coverage follows your car. Anyone who has your permission to drive your car is covered, unless a driver is specifically excluded. Likewise, your coverage always follows you - even when you are driving someone else's vehicle. Just keep in mind that if you have an accident, the primary coverage is through the vehicle owner's policy.Please note that all licensed drivers in your household - as well as anyone who drives your car on a regular basis - should be listed on your policy.
If I rent a car, am I covered?
Yes. If you have a vehicle fully insured (liability, comprehensive and collision) and are renting an automobile in the United States, you do not need to buy extra insurance from the rental company. However, the deductible you've selected will still be applied.
If you do not have collision and comprehensive coverage, you should protect yourself by buying it from the rental company.
