Types of Automobile Insurance
If you own a car, no doubt you’ll understand when people sit around complaining about the cost of their car insurance. But, the fact is that the cost of you car insurance is going to depend as much on what type of car insurance you buy as it is on what insurance company you use to insure your car.
So, what are the different types of auto car insurance options available?
Fully Comprehensive Auto Insurance
Fully comprehensive auto car insurance is without doubt the most expensive. However, with so many cars financed by finance companies, it is also probably the most common type of auto insurance – as the finance companies make it a requirement that the owner insure their automobile fully comprehensive.
In short, as its name suggests, fully comprehensive auto car insurance insures the owner of the car against all manner of events – from an accident to theft of the car. The upside of this type of insurance is there is no need to show ‘fault’ in order to claim. So, if you have an accident, which is not your fault, and the owner of the other car, who is at fault, doesn’t give you his insurance details, or, worse, is uninsured, you can still claim against your insurance company. Similarly, if your car is stolen, then fully comprehensive insurance allows you to claim against the insurance company.
However, do read your insurance policy carefully, as most auto car insurance companies refuse to insure 100% of the value of a car, choosing instead to only insure 80%, or so, of the value. The auto car insurance companies claim that doing this prevents fraudulent losses of cars where the owner of the car either no longer wants the car, or is encountering financial difficulty.
Third Party, Fire & Theft
Third party, fire & theft auto car insurance is a middle of the road car insurance package popular with those who have already paid off their auto loans, but who still have a certain level of intrinsic value in their car.
Under this type of auto insurance, most of the pay-out events covered under fully comprehensive auto insurance are covered – such as fire & theft. However, in the event of an accident, the insurance company is only required to pay-out if you are at fault, and you hit another car. So, in the event that you hit a wall, or only damage your car, the insurance company will not be required to pay. Likewise, if you are involved in an accident with another car, and are not at fault, your insurance company will not be required to pay-out, regardless of whether or not the other person has sufficient insurance to pay for the damage done to your car.
Third Party Insurance
Third party insurance is the ‘basic’ type of insurance, and only covers circumstances where you are involved in an accident, are at fault, and hit a third party. In all other events, the auto car insurance company is not required to make a payment. As such, it is also the cheapest type of auto car insurance you can purchase. That said, this type of insurance is usually only purchased by those car owners who have an old car with little or no value.
Specialized Car Insurance
Finally, strictly speaking any car over 25 years old is considered a ‘classic’. As such, this type of car should be insured as a classic car – with all of the benefits and requirements of such. Although ‘classic’ auto car insurance usually has all of the benefits of fully comprehensive auto car insurance, one significant disadvantage that classic car insurance has is that you are usually limited to the number of road miles you can drive in any given year – so check your policy carefully.
According to
Obtaining an Insurance Policy
Insurance in the Bay Area is relatively expensive. There are three types of policies that insurance brokers may offer: preferred, standard, and assigned risk. Each type of policy will vary in price. Assigned risk is the most expensive and offers the least amount of coverage. You must qualify for the preferred policies. Preferred policies are reserved for
Insurance coverage
There are many different types of auto insurance you can obtain, offering a range of coverage. The minimum level of insurance coverage required by law is liability.
Liability coverage pays the amount (sometimes with certain limitations) for which you are legally responsible if you should injure someone or damage property while driving. All other types of coverage are optional.
Uninsured motorist coverage protects you and your passengers financially if you are injured by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver (if the driver is liable due to negligent behavior).
Collision coverage pays for damages to your automobile from a collision or single car accident. Liability of a given party need not be proven.
Comprehensive coverage pays for financial loss if your car is stolen, damaged by a natural disaster, vandalism or other non-collision causes.
