Obtain Immediate Proof of Insurance!

If you don’t have any savings or assets, minimum liability coverage might be sufficient but it would certainly not suffice to take care of severe injuries or to repair/replace a more recent car or truck. Without adequate coverage, your future income may be garnished to cover the damages you cause.

If you just have the state-required $10,000 property damage and wreck a vehicle worth say $20,000, the insurance provider will pay the $10,000 however you are responsible for the remainder.

In essence, you are self-insuring for anything over the insurance coverage limits you have chosen. If you don’t wish to have your income garnished or your possessions sold off, seriously think about acquiring higher limits of liability.

You cannot lawfully drive an automobile without insurance coverage. Even if you recently bought it. Washington state mandates all vehicles driven on public roadways to be properly insured. The fact that you just now purchased the auto does not alter the requirement.

Luckily, if all of your currently owned cars and trucks are insured with one insurance provider then the insurance coverage on those vehicles automatically transfers for a few days (consult with your insurance agent to find out precisely for how long).

If all your automobiles are not insured with one insurance company, you will wish to call your insurer before you drive off the lot. If you do not have insurance, you will want to call Mid-Columbia Insurance before you drive off with the car

In some cases the cheapest rate is not the best deal. Are you getting the coverage you need? Does the insurance policy have coverages and exclusions that are acceptable to you?

An easy way for an insurance company to have low rates is to fight every claim. Choose a company with an excellent reputation and not an insurance company whose only advertising has to do with saving you 15% or saving those who switch some phony dollar amount – you understand it is a lie. They know it works.

If you are just searching for the most affordable rate you have a number of alternatives:

• Get quotes from a variety of agencies. Each insurer weighs ranking factors in a different way so costs can differ by hundreds of dollars. As an independent agency, Mid-Columbia Insurance automatically shops several insurance companies for you.
• Stop collecting tickets like others collect Pokemon.
• Only carry the coverages you have to have.
• Raise your deductibles.

When you cross major life milestones you should reassess your car insurance policy and see if you might get better discounts. Here are some of the times when your prices are likely to change. If the change is considerable, it might be a great time to request a requote.

• DUI or other significant infraction – If your existing insurer finds out, you will be seeing a price hike at your next renewal.
• Adding or removing a driver from your plan – could either boost or reduce your rate depending on their age as well as their driving MVR.
• Marriage or Divorce – Significant life change. May or may not affect your price
• Getting a new automobile – the company that had the best price for your previous auto might not be best with this car.
• Putting on a teenage driver – Teens are 3x as prone to be involved in a crash, so consider yourself fortunate if your insurance rate just doubles.
• Purchasing a new home – You may now live in a new rating zip code as well as you might get the home-owner’s discount and possibly the bundling discount.
• Relocating – every zip code has a different rate and also every insurer has different factors for those zip codes.
• Revision of your credit history – if it gets substantially better, ask your agent if they can re-order your credit rating.
• Car accident – You most likely will give up your Safe Driver Discount even if the accident was not your fault.
