Auto Insurance. What has Common Sense got to do with it?
August 30, 2008
Who says common sense won’t save you so much in car insurance? You might be surprised at how much you can save by just using your good sense of judgment. Let’s make things clearer with a couple of examples…
You need to employ common sense from the point of car purchase. Different cars have varying premium demands. Certain Cars are more expensive to Insure than others. If therefore you had this in mind before buying a Car, you would get a car that meets your Auto requirements and is comparably cheaper to insure. You would of course need to ask people who know.
Your car type as it regards its cost would also if really considered, determine the coverage that makes sense for you. If you bought a car for $10,000 and took up a collision policy of $20,000 would you be hailed as an icon of wisdom? Remember you would also pay deductibles if you make a claim. The value of your car depreciates with time so this is not a smart choice.
People would always get expensive cars and get comprehensive coverage for them. This is all well and good it is not against what I am advocating. I am simply saying we all should be aware of the things that increase our insurance costs and always learn to make sure our insurance policy is not expensive but eventually useless to us.
There is no universal standard because our needs differ from person to person but simply applying our common sense in every situation would seriously affect the choices you would make regardless of your situation.
Let me conclude by saying that even if the options we choose would result in an increase in our insurance expense, with the right information, we can still find ways to save on your car insurance.
