Tips
for First Time Insurance Buyers
By John
Machmiller
The
are many scary things in this world. Buying insurance for
your first time should not be one of them. In the next few
paragraphs, I will offer some tips which will hopefully remove
the fear of first time auto insurance buying.
First,
you should research the definitions of the types of coverage
out there. An educated decision is usually a good decision.
Sometimes people experience problems comprehending definitions
from a manual. If you are this type of person you might want
to find out if any of your family members or friends are in
the insurance industry. They may be able to do an adequate
job familiarizing you with the insurance terms or definitions.
After
familiarizing yourself with the types of coverage, plan to
give yourself enough time to shop for the right types of coverage
with the right company at the right price. When you wait to
the last moment, you run the risk of not being able to purchase
the types of coverage you desire.
Without
planning enough time to call around and compare the rates
for the types of coverage which you desire, you also run the
risk of purchasing your coveted insurance at a higher rate.
Also, companies vary in their service in which they offer
their customers. Some companies offer some flexibility when
you look to change your insurance coverage in the future as
your needs change. You may end up compromising these when
you do not give yourself enough time researching the various
insurance companies that are out there.
Now
that you have researched the types of insurance coverage that
are out there to prepare you for an educated decision and
you have allocated enough time to execute this to your advantage,
you need to determine your insurance needs. A licensed insurance
agent can be a good aide in helping you assess your insurance
needs; however, determining your insurance needs will be up
to you.
Following
are some of the questions you will need to answer. Do want
extra medical coverage for the party in the other vehicle?
Are you looking for only what the state requires to cover
your tag? Is your vehicle so old that you need towing coverage?
Or, does a lien holder own your vehicle, and as a result,
you need extra coverage for your vehicle? Is there more than
one driver who needs to be insured on your policy?
Since
you have assessed the types of coverage you need, you now
need to determine how much insurance to purchase. Always purchase
as much insurance as you can afford.
Does
it make sense to purchase the most insurance possible, and
as a result, your policy cancels in 90 days because you cannot
afford the monthly payments? On the other hand, does it make
sense to purchase the least amount of insurance types of coverage
possible when you can afford more? If you currently cannot
afford the types of coverage you desire, some companies allow
you to 'upgrade' your policy (increase the types of
coverage) in the future.
There
is another thing to consider when you are determining how
much insurance types of coverage you can afford. If you are
currently financing the cost of a vehicle, or you are going
to purchase a vehicle and you are going to finance its cost,
there is a good chance your lien holder will require you to
carry comprehensive and collision types of coverage. These
types of coverage help protect the lien holder financially
if something happens to the vehicle; however, the cost of
these types of coverage may keep you from affording other
types of coverage which you covet.
Again,
purchasing insurance for the first time should not be intimidating.
To keep it from being intimidating, remember the previous
tips. Educate yourself with the types of coverage. Allocate
enough time to give you the best possible results. Determine
your needs. Finally, purchase as much insurance as you can
afford.
