Jason Potash : Everyone talks about online auto insurance quotes to get low car insurance rates? Will this really work in 2010- or is it advisable?

Response : Getting online auto insurance quote is a really tricky decision to make but it is not a matter of real worry, once few things are kept in mind, you can easily seek an online auto insurance quote. Let me tell you that you can do it since you have only one goal or focus in mind getting a low car insurance rates. If you go to an agent he is thinking of getting you the best car insurance coverage but still focusing on his own best commission rate. This is natural since this is his bread and butter. We are lead by our preferences in all our quests, insurance is no exception; we also go to find some insurance quote by keeping in view our preferences, top of the list if “low cost.” Yes, it is good to avail low-cost services; however, most of the times, such low cost ventures cost you double. There are certain very crucial factors that must be kept in mind while going into a contract with any insurance company. Reliability is the key to success; your insurance must be there to support your needs when you are in real need. Fortunately all the insurance companies are regulated by the State insurance department, need to be licensed and so they have to follow the State insurance norms and guideliness for operations and so all the insurance companies which are operating in your State are well monitored. They are reliable. This is unfortunately one of the limitation for an agent who is either a representative of one insurance company and hence sells only products of this particular insurance company or certain companies only and thus the comparision of the insurance companies is made a big story and deal by them.
Online business are also regulated by the FTC which is has brought in new regulations for all affiliates for disclosure in 2010. This is a governed market even by FTC and google, thus the consumer has nothing to fear online except the hackers.

When you go for online auto insurance quotes, you will get to compare auto insurance from mostly all the insurance companies of your State at one go. This will give you a chance to get the best car insurance coverage and you will not have to waste your time again and again.

Enjoy the holiday season and get low car insurance rates with online auto insurance quotes.

Eben Pagan (New York): My auto insurance policy is going to be renewed by the end of this month and I live in New York. Can you please tell me about No fault car insurance in New York?

Response: Eben, I know you will find this odd, but the best way to get the best auto insurance rates is to compare auto insurance quote online and am sure you get the best deals. Online auto insurance is competitive and they offer you the latest discounts and best rates since they know that there are already a couple of  insurers offering their rates on the same page.

Let me shate another news with you which you might have read regarding No fault car insurance in New York.

New York’s auto insurers saw their typical no-fault payment for the medical care of accident victims rise by 56 percent to $8,748 per claim in the second quarter of 2009. This represents a dramatic increase from late 2004, when the average no-fault payment stood at $5,615 per claim, according to an Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) analysis.

The insurance industry, the New York State Insurance Department’s (NYSID) Frauds Bureau, the National Insurance Crime Bureau and law enforcement agencies continue to investigate suspicious claims vigorously, according to Dr. Robert Hartwig, the I.I.I. president and an economist. Yet loopholes in the no-fault system make it particularly vulnerable to fraud and abuse by a “no-fault industry” of corrupt medical professionals, attorneys, and street-level criminals who work on their behalf.

“In less than five years, New York’s auto insurers have seen an extraordinary 56 percent increase in the average cost of no-fault claims, to a great extent the result of abuse and, sometimes, outright fraud in the system,”

“The costs of fraud and abuse of the state’s no-fault system ultimately are borne by New York’s honest policyholders. New York’s no-fault claim costs are now the second highest in the country and are 111 percent higher than the U.S. average of $4,152.”

The reason for letting you know all these details is to explain why the auto insurance rates are likely to rise. This is because the insurance companies base their auto insurance rates on their expenses and no fault claims expenses are a part of the expenses which all the insurance companies have to share and pay for.

The insurance companies offer a higher discount online since they save their operating cost. When you compare car insurance quote online make sure that you are also comparing your coverages and the discounts offered. I am sure you will find a good quote here.

Thanks.

Jeff Obama : How can I chosse the right insurance company and get the low auto insurance quotes?

Response : The question which is utmost in the mind of all persons for low auto insurance quote is the choice of the insurance company, rather than low car insurance rate.

I would like to show you the ways of  finding out the right insurance company.  Your state insurance department might also provide comparisons of prices charged by different insurers.  (State insurance department phone numbers and Web sites can be found here.)

A smart persons would also like to Check the financial health of insurance companies with rating companies such as A.M. Best (http://www.ambest.com) and Standard & Poor’s (http://www.standardandpoors.com/) and consult consumer magazines, at all times especially in the recession.

However here are a few points which I would like to bring to your mind  before you decide on the chicken or the egg (the insurance company or the car insurance quote).

• The greatest comfort about auto insurance and general insurance companies is that the policy is normally issued only for a span of  one year and so it is not going to be a matter of  your pension funds or your life savings going down the drain if the company goes bankrupt.
• Insurance companies in all states are highly regulated and hence, even if the company is sold out to another insurer the clientele  is transferred to the new insurer.
• It is mandatory for insurance companies to maintain a reserve ratio.

Based on the above facts, I strongly feel that it is necessary to find a stable company, but it is more important to find a compnay who renders good customer services. You can ask your friends and relatives to refer you to one because of their good customer service. Some insurance companies do direct marketing and some sell through an agent. The agent should be one who is ready to talk to you and answer your questions.

However, I think you are more smart if you get the correct pricing for your insurance – low and cheap premiums would be the key that I would suggest since you are paying less for the same risk. Get different quotes and compare them. It’s best to shop around and find out what is available and the options available. The prices vary from company to company. The right quote for you is the key to your savings, if you get this you will naturally have got a low auto insurance rate!
