Auto insurance scam

Have you heard of the company names of Citizens Insurance, Meridian Insurance and Nationwide Mutual Insurance? Well here is the problem, a man in Grand Rapids was selling computer generated auto insurance policies for a $40 dollars a policy. He knew something about I would imagine photoshop and scanning and created an auto insurance scam that milked about 500 people out of $40 dollars. First, I think the guy must be an idiot, he sold the insurance too low and this tipped people off as people started talking about this as a shady deal. Second, he sold this in his own back yard, and therefore, the community talked. Third besides moral reasons for not doing this, auto insurance scams can land you in jail for quite a while.

Auto insurance Massachusetts

Every website and blog talks about cheap auto insurance rates, compare auto insurance in Massachusetts, where to find the best auto insurance in Massachusetts etc. I think Auto insurance comparision, is a little like mutual fund comparsion, that is people look at what is the ‘hot fund of the month’ and often times its not the same next month. Therefore, when you go for auto insurance do not just look at the rate but other factors like ease of payout and how the company will work with you.  In my opinion the best Auto insurance in Massachusetts is Liberty Mutual. Liberty Mutual is a very well run company which in my experience offers very good rates and service. I was insured my Liberty mutual and only had positive experiences with Liberty mutual. I actually worked for OneBeacon insurance, which in my opinion was a little high in terms of rates and I even could get a discount, but just in other ways. However I thought all around if you are shopping for Auto insurance in Massaschusetts, Liberty mutual insurance is the company I would choose again.  I am not going to throw numbers at you, rather I think experience speaks louder, however, if you want a quote finder go to msn money, there you can compare auto insurance rates in Massachusetts. This post is not a quote finder post or scientific analysis this is the feedback I have herd from others and has been my experience.

Best way to save on Auto insurance

What is the number one guaranteed way of saving on auto insurance? I have a full proof way to save on Auto insurance. I sold my car. I do not have a car and have not had one in years. I am lucky that I have lived in cities, but in my opinion cars are over rated. I use the bus and take a train, ride my bike, walk take a tram, but I do not have a car.   The result of not having a car, at 45 I am in top condition and have saved enough money to travel whenever I want. With the total savings I have had, minus renting a car now and then is tens of thousands of dollars. Yes not having a car is the best way to save on auto insurance.

New Auto technology

There are two new technologies out that can improve driving safety, they are lane departure alerts and collision warning systems. The first technology warns drivers when they are leaving a lane with vibration or visual or audio cues. This lane departure auto technology seems simple but if you consider how many accidents are caused by lane departures it is estimated that it could save, lives. About 1/2 million US accidents are caused by lane departures and 10 thousand lives are lost each year. The collision warning system is just what it sounds like, alerts drivers when it perceives a potential frontal crash. Frontal crashes account for about 40 percent of the auto accidents. For me personally car safety is a major factor in car purchases and any technology that can reduce the risk of accident is well worth its weight in gold. I am curious is auto insurance companies will give discounts for such technonolgies if they prove effective in the long run.

Auto insurance fraud

One quarter of the drivers could have invalid insurance. 26% of UK of the drivers in the UK have an auto insurance information that was reported and is false. This means if they are found out, their auto insurance could be invalid. The most common things things that car owners lie about are their the mileage, what that they do, where they live, past claims, where the car is parked, and of course points on their license. Cutting corner, pun intended seems innocent until you are caught. Auto insurance companies have huge departments set up just to investigate these types of things. It seems innocent but what it does is puts drivers in insurance risk categories that are lower than the rest and therefore unfairly gives these car owners discounts on auto insurance. They are usually not found out unless, there is a car accident and an insurance claim detective looks deeper into the insurance policy for some reason. And certainly this auto insurance fraud is not on the same scale as other types of Auto insurance fraud. But it is a form of fraud.

Cheapest Toyota to insure

What is the cheapest auto insurance model our of the Toyota brand? 4 Runner, Avalon, Camry, Highlander, Land Cruiser, Matrix ,Perunner, Prius, RAV4, Sequois,Sienna,Tacoma, Tundra are the models of Toyotas. Although insurance rates vary from company to company, state to state etc, the cheapest model of Toyota to insure can be the Avalon. For liability, safety and damage the Toyota Avalon, as excellent statistical ratings. For safety alone it can have a 30% discount because, not only is it built well but also the drivers of the Toyota Avalon car tend to be safety. Actually all the Toyotas ranked well, with perhaps the lowest being the popular Toyota Corolla being the lowest statistically for sfaty etc, because of its size compared to the bulkier Toyota models to insure. To drive, I prefer the Camry as it is more in my budget, but the Avalon is king when it comes to the cheapest Toyota to insure.

What determines how much a car is to insure

Factors such as your demographics (age, gender etc), your location, your driving record are obvious. However, the make and model of your car will determine how much your auto insurance will cost.

The cost to insure your auto is determined by 4 factors:

1. Horse power - the bigger the engine the more chances you will drive fast.
2. Cost of repair - the higher the price tag of the car, the greater liability, therefore greater collision-damage costs.
3. Bigger is sometimes better - statistics show contrary to popular wisdom that small sporty cars outmaneuver accidents, statistics show the converse is true.
4. Boring is better - family cars get a discount when it comes to auto insurance. Why? Simply because these family vehicles, often times boarding between autos and tanks, get in much fewer accidents. When it comes to family driving, families drive safer.
