General Car Insurance Recommendations

Unfortunately, without being intimately familiar with your financial situation and aversion to risk, no one can make car insurance recommendations to you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get some general car insurance recommendations and apply them as needed to your own life:

1. Be able to afford your deductibles: A deductible that puts undo strain on your finances is not doing you any favors. If you can’t afford to pay out your deductible in the event of an accident, you should not accept it. Remember, deductibles represent your personal financial responsibility.

2. Choose reasonable limits: Limits that are too low can put you in danger of overextending your finances if you are involved in a very costly accident because a limit represents the maximum that an insurance company will pay out in claims. Any damages above that would be your personal responsibility.

3. Pay your premiums annually. Premiums paid monthly are generally subjected to additional fees.

4. Take a defensive driving course: Be proactive and lower your car insurance premiums by taking a defensive driving class. Not only will your improved skills reduce your likelihood of getting into an accident, the insurance company will reward that risk hedge by lowering your premiums.
