Online Auto Insurance Offers Guide to Getting Quality Coverage

Rancho Cucamonga, CA, October 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In their most recently released FAQ, the writers at Online Auto Insurance outline the essentials to consider when looking for a quality policy.

Car coverage is a complicated product, and motorists setting out to find low cost car insurance need to take a variety of factors into account when choosing between companies and different levels and types of coverage.

Though surveys have indicated that price is of the utmost concern to most policyholders, affordability needs to be weighed against the caliber of protection, which can be most effectively evaluated by looking at the types of protections and the maximum coverage levels. The majority states require drivers to get insured for bodily injury and property damage liability; but motorists setting out to secure an initial policy may not understand that neither of these covers damages incurred by the policyholder. Rather, they will cover the damage done to other drivers on account of the policyholder.

If drivers want to insure against the damages that they may incur themselves, they need to look at personal injury protection, comprehensive and collision, and uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance. All of these types will cover either physical or bodily damage done to the policyholder. But consumers shouldn’t stop when it is decided which types are desired — the extent of that coverage will be another issue.

Although each state sets minimum levels of protection for its residents’ policies, experts say that many state minimums are often not sufficient to completely cover a driver. According to the Insurance Information Institute, “industry and consumer groups generally recommend a minimum of $100,000 of bodily injury protection per person and $300,000 per accident.”

High levels of protection, though, mean little if the policy is written by an unreliable carrier. To ensure that this does not happen, motorists can access their state department websites at http://www.consumeraction.gov/insurance.shtml to get information on the credibility and financial soundness of a company.
