The year 2008 is bringing in a ton of new choices when you start shopping for a new car. Some of these changes may not be available to you until 2009, but be aware—change is coming.

During the 2008 ICE Show(International Consumer Electronics) Ford introduced a new technology they are going to add to new vehicles in 2008. This system is along the same lines as OnStar, and its called 911Asist. This program takes away the middleman, such as the OnStar operator, and directly connects you to a live 911 operator when your air bags are deployed. This system is also coming with a 10-second delay for the driver to disconnect from 911 if there is not an emergency.

Ford has also decided to expand their Sync program to nearly all Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.

There is also a new type of weather related radio station, that is supposed to be able to interupt any am/fm radio station you are listening to, as well as, cds; to give you news about bad weather in your area. This is supposed to go along with a GPS tracking system, that knows exactly where you are in junction with hail, rain, tornadoes, and other bad weather.

Ford is trying to make their customers feel like they are surrounded by one huge security blanket when you are driving one of their vehicles!!!

Of course, when you purchase a new car in any year, you must also purchase a new Texas Car Insurance policy. Be sure you have enough insurance coverage to keep you safe if you are ever involved in an accident.

People always have questions when they are searching for new Texas Car Insurance. Some tend to be the same questions. Here is a compiled list of most recently asked questions and their answers. If you still can’t find the answers to your questions, please feel free to contact your local Texas Car Insurance agent.

1. Can my antique car be insured? Yes, it can. You may have trouble finding a Texas Car Insurance company that will insure it though, because antique cars are expensive, and so are the parts that fix them. Some antique cars can cost over $100,000 to build, they are also very expensive for an insurance company to replace.
2. How do I lower my Texas Car Insurance premium? You can lower your premium several ways. The most common ways are by parking your car in a lockable garage at night, install security sytems(such as burlar alarm or a tracking device), also try to qualify for several discounts your Texas Car Insurance company offers, people under the age of 25 tend to have high premiums anyways you can participate in extra driving cources to lower your premium.
3. Do I have too much Texas Car Insurance? If you have full coverage on an older car, most of the time that is too much. Older cars aren’t worth as much as new cars, and if you were to have an accident you would only be paid what your car is worth, and nothing more. Talk to your agent if you have questions.

Still have questions and don’t see them answered? Trying to find adequate answers to every day questions can be frustrating. If you don’t have time to spend on line searching for your answers, take a few minutes and call your Texas Car Insurance agent. They will be more than happy to help you.

When you are shopping for Texas Car Insurance you have many, many different companies to choose from. Whether you are shopping on line, on the phone, or driving around town your options are sky-high.  Texas Car Insurance agents are more than happy to answer your questions, go over your new purchased policy, and what all you are covered for. If you choose a large insurance company, many times it is hard to get through to actually speak to your agent, that is way these large firms have opened local agencies to better help their customers. These smaller insurance agenies are usually open 5 days week, you can also make appointments with your agent for late afternoon and in some occasions on the weekends. Making your payments each month have become alot easier with the smaller agenies. You don’t have to worry about sending your payment through the mail, you can just drive to your local agency and pay your premium directly to your agent or leave it in the drop box if the offoce is closed. In the end it is always a good idea to speak with a Texas Car Insurance agent before you sign anything, just to make sure you are getting the best deal that fits your needs. Just because you find a cheacp Texas Car Insurance company doesn’t mean they are the best for you. Do some research before you sign a contract with any company, even the large well known Texas Car Insurance companies.

Do you still wait for your monthly bills to be delivered to your mailbox or your post office box? Well that waiting time is coming to an end. When shopping for Texas Car Insurance inquire about an Easy Pay Plan. Most Texas Car Insurance companies offer this program to their customers who don’t want to wait on their monthly statements to arive. Easy pay plans will save you all the hassles of waiting, purchasing stamps, and hoping your payment gets back to your insurance company on time and in good condition. If you sign up for an automatic bank draft, East pay plan, this could be another way to save you money. Texas Car Insurance companies will offer a discount to have your monthly payment drafted from your checking or savings account each month. You could also get another discount for paying your premium in full or paying it faster than each month. You can also choose the date and amount of money is drafted from the account of your choice. The most important reason to sign up for this plan is to insure that your payment is made on time each and every month without fail.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an oil company that offered an all you can drive program, where you paid one monthly fee and got as much gas as you could drive, no matter how much or how little you drove that month? I don’t see that happening anytime in the near future, but some Texas Auto Insurance Companies are trying out a new pay-per-mile policy. This would benefit the driver’s you drove less back and forth to work, but it could also drastically raise prices for those of us you drive 60+ miles a day back and forth.

Some people are also fighting to get insurance rates included with the cost of gas to cut down on the uninsured motorists. There are people that will break the law and drive their cars without Texas Car Insurance, but in order to drive your car you MUST have gas. So if the insurance fees were added to the price of gas, of cource the gas would go up, but you would be covered by Texas Auto Insurance.

Statistics show that women drive less than most men, so if Texas Auto Insurance companies came out with the pay-per-mile program, women would be saving money in the end.

Need some extra money? Ever thought about leaving the keys in your car in a rough part of town, hoping someone would steal your car. This is against the law and you will be punished. Most Texas Insurance companies call this a “give-up”.  When you give up you car to be sold for parts, or resold to an unknown person, could land you in serious trouble, paying outrageous fines, and jail time.  There are hundreds of these claims each year, and many people are fined lots of money. No matter what you do, always be honest. Trying to fool your Texas Car Insurance may give you money on a fraudulent claim, but you will be paying back your state, as well as, you insurance company. After all the fines are paid, you will still be in the need of extra cash. Back to where you started, and by now you are probably going to need lots of cash. Don’t put your self in this situation. 

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.
