Myths of Texas Auto Insurance

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

People will talk about anything that is interesting, whether its true or not. For example, does it really matter what color your car is when you are trying to insure it? Will your premiums be higher for a red car than they would for a white car? Here are a few Texas Car Insurance myths that may set your mind at ease.

  • Texas Car Insurance companies take information about your car such as the year, model, make, and security features, and also information about the driver. Can you remember the last time you were shopping for Texas Car Insurance and were asked what color your vehicle was?
  • Do you believe Texas Car Insurance companies can charge whatever they want? This is true to a sense, but also untrue at the same time. Each state has rules and regulations on how much a Texas Car Insurance company can charge the customers for insurance. This all goes back to the type of car you own, and your driving record.
  • Do you have comprehensive coverage? Does it cover EVERYTHING? No. Here are a few things comprehensive cover will cover: fire, theft, vandalism, weather-related accidents (ex. hail damage), it will also cover damage if you collide with an animal, or if your rental car is stolen.
  • So, you have rental coverage that means if you wreck your rental car you will be covered right? This rental coverage is in case YOUR car is in the shop. your insurance will pay back what you spend on a rental car.

Hopefully these myths have put your mind at ease, and will help you better understand you Texas Car Insurance. If you are still unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to call your professional Texas Car Insurance agent today and they will be happy to assist you.

Driver Education in Texas

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

One discount a young teen driver can get in their Texas Car Insurance is if they have taken a Driver Education Course. When we think of these courses we are reminded by hours or boring movies, monotoned lectures, and maybe 5 hours of actual behind-the-wheel training. How is a teenager going to learn how to driver against the elements if the majority of their learning is watching old 1970’s movies in a classroom.  Times are changing. Some states are requiring a training period of 6 months before a teen can actually drive unsupervised. Teenagers are one of the highest risks to a Texas Insurance Company. Some states across the U.S. are having half-day seminars to teach teenagers as well as older driver’s how to handle a car in extreme cases.  One test they must pass is to hold a small ball in a large cup that is attached the the hood of the car, and maneuver the car around an obstacle course without loosing the ball or control of the car.  You might also find that some schools are purchasing hybrid cars to lower emissions. Even if you are not a teenager, or an elderly, you can still take these classes. You will get a driver’s education discount on your Texas Car Insurance policy. More importantly you will be ready in extreme driving conditions, that you might not have known how to handle properly before.

  • Moving? Planning on moving to another city or area? Your insurance rates may drop in your new town or city. Make sure you sit down with your professional Texas Car Insurance Agent to discuss all your options.

The car you drive has a huge impact on how much you are going to pay for your Texas Car Insurance.  Be sure you do your homework, BEFORE you purchase your new dream car.
  • Is your car listed wrong? When shopping for Texas Car Insurance make sure your agent lists your car correctly. Some vehicle names are similiar to others, and cost alot different to insure. Be sure your agent lists your car correctly so you are not paying to much in the end.
  • Check other insurance companies for discounts. Some insurance companies will offer discounts if you and your spouse are insured together. At the same time, alot of Texas Car Insurance companies will discount multiple policy discounts if you carry homeowners, auto, life and/or health insurance with the same company.
