Best Auto Insurance
When searching for the best auto insurance the cheapest does not mean the best. When considering what goes into making a company the best auto insurance consider the 4 factors below. In this small article I will convey my ten years of being a former insurance agent perspective on how to choose the best auto insurance.
Our first factor will be at the top of everyone’s mind when choosing the best auto insurance: Price. In our current economic dilemma budget is very important because what good is having the absolute best policy if you can not afford it. Now the same goes the other direction, what good is it to have the cheapest auto insurance if the company will weasel its way out of paying for your claim. So ideally you want to understand your coverage’s which allows you to know what coverage’s you do and do not need. So when getting quotes have each agent quote you the same limits and same deductibles if you have full coverage. If you do not understand how your current policy works read this article for a brief overview.
What Does My Auto Insurance Cover?
The next factor is the rating of the insurance company. All insurance companies are rated independently of one another and you can compare all the various factors. You can see who handles the claims the best, who has the best buyers ratings, and the best service. If you want to check out how companies rate in your area go to this link (Insurance Rating). There are many companies out there that provide this service, but asking friends and family is the best way to find out how a company operates in your area.
Now we spoke about the rating of a company but having a good agent on your side can go along way. The next factor to finding the best auto insurance is the servicing agent.
If you go with an online company you will have to deal with someone at a call center that may or may not know what they are doing. Having a personal agent that will get things done is the way to go. So how do you pick an agent?
1. when you call to get a quote, if you called, did someone answer or did you have to leave a message. If no one answers move on this is a sigh of poor service.
2. When you talk with the agent are they knowledgeable? But they does not talk over your head. You need a agent who is down to earth and can explain insurance in simple terms.
3. The last thing is if you get pawned off to someone besides the person whose name is on the door, this can be a problem. The secretary makes an hourly wage an could careless about your problem, the agent gets paid on weather you keep your business with him, so make him earn it.
Now the last Piece to our puzzle on how to get the best auto insurance. Use the above factors to educate yourself and start getting quotes. The old way of getting quotes is to open the phone book and start calling around and hope half of them call you back. If that does not sound appealing try a method that make agents compete against each other and give you the coverage you want while giving their best deal.
So how can you make agents compete to win you business and have offers emailed or called into you within the hour? There is a service that agents subscribe to where they receive request for quotes and know they are competing against other agents. If you want to make 4-7 agents compete for your business I have found a site where you enter your zip code and the type of insurance you want and 4-7 local agents contact you within 24 hours, some within the hour.
