Get the cheapest insurance possible? Regardless if you live in Fullerton

This is true if you are looking for liability car insurance or a non owners

insurance policy.

You may have questions surrounding your auto policy. This is normal and

Liability Insurance Components

By taking this course you can save up to 10 percent off your total premium.

This is huge, if you are a senior living on a fixed income. 

You can also check with certain organizations that cater to a certain

demographic. These are places such as AARP.

If you are a parent with a soon to be sixteen year old or a teenager driver, check

with your current carrier.

Look at the guidelines about new drivers. 

It is important to understand these guidelines. It can cost you more in the long

run if you do not understand them.

The reason is some companies will charge for your teenage driver when they

turn sixteen.

Not all auto liability insurance companies however. Other carriers will wait until your child actually

gets an active drivers license.

Check Policy Guidelines

So, having said this, make sure to research.

Check with your current company and future carriers guidelines. 

This is especially true if you have a tween in the household.

It is always best to be well prepare and not be shocked with an increase in your

premium on paper. 

No one likes surprises like these.

New Driver Program

You may unfortunately fall into a program of coverage that will not accept the

new driver onto the policy.

This is regardless if your child has an active license or is sixteen years of age.

If you are the parent and don’t want to switch current carriers, you have

options.

You can always have your child buy a separate individual policy.

This way they will have their own policy with just their vehicle listed.

Make sure to include yourself as the parent on the policy so, you can drive your

child’s vehicle.

Comprehensive and Collision Insurance

No Physical Damage Coverage unlike full coverage vehicle, is mandatory to

carry in the state of California and most states.

Let’s say you live in Orange County California.

You are a brand new driver and looking for the lowest online quotes and rates

possible.

You will begin your search with asking for the basic minimum requirement.

This coverage, necessary for the State you live in. 

California will require insurance limits to be at a minimum of 15/30/5.

Liability Only – Property Damage Coverage

The property damage coverage is only $5,000 per incident. This will cover for

damages property. 

The bodily injury portion which covers the other party in case of injury or

injuries is $15, 0000 per person up to a total of $30,000 per accident.

This portion is also known as insurer damage. It would be the responsibility of

the company to pay if their client is liable. 

That’s it, this protection serves to protect the “other party”. This is why it’s

called no physical damage protection.

Your personal vehicle damage would not be covered under this program.

However, this coverage on your policy would cover the other party’s vehicle.

This is if you were involved in an accident.

Liability Auto Only Policy Rates

Many drivers will risk driving without car coverage. This can be for a number

of reasons.

Recently laid off, living paycheck and trying to stay afloat until the paycheck.

The reasons and circumstances vary for every person.

Regardless of the reason, it’s the law to carry coverage in the state of

California. So, make sure to prioritize that bill into your budget. You may be the

safest driver out on the roads

However, the risk of someone else hitting you or other elements such as road

condition or weather elements.

These can all be factors in a higher probability you will be involved in some

This pool is based on the “large number theory”, meaning the larger the pool of

like demographics allows individual cost of car coverage protection to minimal

compared to paying out-of-pocket.

Insurer damage is offset with the amount of policies on file. 

The larger the pool, the more likely damages and injury costs will be reduced

with intake claims, since they balance out.

This can be due to a catastrophic event where one territory is hit terribly bad.

One insurer has more damage in that territory than others depending on their

niche market.

So, in closing rare yes, but companies can become insolvent or placed on

moratorium which means they are not allowed to write new business.

If a company is on moratorium it can still maintain their current customer’s

book but new business is off-limits.

In some cases, a letter will be sent out to all insureds notifying them of their

status. 

Sometimes it may even indicate if their current provider or company will be

able to maintain their policy.

If not, a letter will be mailed to your residence letting you know your

options. In some cases, the carrier may have a sister company they can convert

your policy over too.

If you are working with an broker or agent, you can request them to search for

a new provider or company that will accept their risk.

If you are working with a single direct carrier you will not have this option

since they only represent one company.

They may be able to refer you out to a brokerage or agency. Either-way, it’s

best to shop your rates with multiple carriers.

This is because rates do change. The insurer damage can increase or decrease.

This can effect your rates so, just be aware.

Research Underwriting Protocol

Research coverage companies who specialize in this basic coverage

market. This can save you huge.

They can offer far more competitive rates then their full coverage companies.

It makes sense to shop and compare auto quotes. Also, make sure you are

comparing quotes for your lifestyle and personal needs.

If you were ever with a company who recently denied or dropped you because

of a “moratorium” or freeze in writing new business or certain territories.

Than you have experience the “reserve pool” working.

A freeze can come either by the Department or the actual provider. This serves

to protect all the insured in that pool.

What good would coverage be if when you went to go use it, you found out that

the company was insolvent.

Look for companies with an A plus rated score.

You can also verify withe the Department of Insurance. This is because

they handle the regulation of insurance in their governed stated.

Regardless of the brand name of the carrier or company, all rated A companies

ensure California Insurance Guaranty.

This is just like your bank regardless a Credit Union or traditional bank are all

backed by the FDIC.

The same protocol follows with California Providers and Companies.

Great question since you will need to know who will be covered under your

policy.

To help you understand, if you were to buy a liability only auto policy and

wanted to have your best friend drive your car, than you would need to make

sure your policy includes “permissive use.”

Permissive use would allow you have your buddy drive your car as long as he

or she didn’t live with you in the same household

Also, this coverage would take in effect if this driver does not use your vehicle

as primary transportation.

Full Coverage Protection

Unfortunately, we have seen many people buy Full Coverage to learn after the

fact, that they have a “named insured policy.”

This type of coverage prohibits any driver not listed on your policy. 

Some people have learned the hard way about this feature, which normally

always comes after a loss or claim has occurred.

You want to ask these important questions when you receive your quotes. 

Unfortunately, not all companies or providers will explain the coverage details.

So, take notes and ask questions during the quoting

process and not after an accident.

Each coverage policy will have different language in their underwriting

guidelines.

But for the most part an insured is a resident spouse,

family member who lives with you.

If you do not want a living family member to be listed on your personal policy,

than you can exclude that driver. 

Most providers and companies have a data base that can run consumer background reports on you.

These reports will disclose all past and present household residents of that

property.

If this should happen, you would receive a letter from your company or

provider asking you to either exclude or include the following drivers found on

our consumer report.

The last definition of an insured is for business use. 

If a business provides permission for a representative to use their vehicles.

Vehicle coverage would extend for these drivers.

However, for the sake of discussing only personal coverage policy, business

use will not be discussed in-depth in this article entry.

Business coverage is normally not found on your personal policy.

Business use is excluded on most liability polices, and if needed,

you would need to buy business coverage separately.
