Some Auto Insurance Tips Revisited

Some auto insurance tips revisited :

Tips For Keeping Auto Insurance Rates Low

Start by keeping a clean driving record. If you get a speeding ticket try to keep it off your record with a driver safety course, for example.

Sometimes your insurance company will give you 10% off if you show recent completion of a driver safety course.

Auto Gap Insurance

If the value of your car is less than the loan you took to get it, then you need auto gap insurance. Auto gap insurance is designed to cover that gap. That's because traditional insurance will only pay for the actual value of your vehicle, and not the price you paid. Traditional insurance pays market value which tends to be lower than the price you paid because automobiles tend to depreciate in value as time goes along.

Car Insurance Coverage

Car Insurance Coverage has several different levels from basic liability to comprehensive. Liability just pays the other person and doesn't cover you at all. So if you accidentally back into a fire hydrant, liability coverage will not pay for you. Also, if you end up hit by an uninsured driver, liability still may not pay for that. If you want coverage for these situations, you need to ask for it. It's a good idea to get coverage for uninsured drivers and to get coverage for personal injuries especially if you do not have health insurance.

Affordable Auto Insurance

Be careful when purchasing products touted as affordable car insurance. What is considered to be affordable car insurance can quickly become not so affordable when the insurer decides to deny you claim. That's why it's best to shop with an independent agent. That agent can advise you on his experience with car insurance companies and which ones to trust and which ones give trouble reimbursing claims.

Making Insurance Comparisons

If you want to make auto insurance comparisons, you must first decide the important areas of auto insurance that you want to compare. Different folks will have different areas that are important to them in auto insurance. Some are looking to find the lowest cost while others are looking for the best coverage. Still others will be looking for the little extras that make a policy their best choice. And, you will also find people that want a local agent that they can call in case of an accident or changes to the policy.

Once you decide what is most important to you, you are ready to make the relevant comparisons.

Knowing About Your Medicare Plan

I was going through Yahoo and found this very enlightening article that I want to share with all my readers. It is about Medicare.

Medicare is the nation's largest health insurance program, covering over 40 million Americans. As long as you've contributed enough to the program (through FICA taxes), you'll be eligible for Medicare when you turn 65, regardless of whether you're retired or not. The best time to apply for Medicare is at the first opportunity to do so : the seven-month period that starts three months before your 65th birthday. The program is divided into two components: Part A and Part B.

Part A is called hospital insurance and covers most of the costs of a stay in the hospital, as well as some follow-up costs after time in the hospital. Part A pays some other outpatient medical services, including medically necessary equipment and supplies, home health care, and physical therapy. Under most circumstances, you do not have to pay a premium for Part A.

Part B is medical insurance. This optional coverage is intended to help pay doctor's bills for treatment in or out of the hospital. It also covers many other medical expenses you incur when you are not in the hospital, such as the costs of necessary medical equipment and tests. If you elect Part B, the monthly premium is automatically deducted from your Social Security check. But there are some out-of-pocket expenses that Medicare will not pay for, including prescription drugs, although a Bush Administration proposal to incorporate a prescription drug benefit into the program is under consideration in Congress.

You now have three options for Medicare Part B coverage: the Original Medicare Plan, a Medicare Managed Care Plan (like an HMO), and the Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plan. Each of these programs has pros and cons. And some may not be available in certain geographical areas. With the Original Medicare Plan, you pay your Part B monthly premium and then pay for additional services as you use them. Medicare Managed Care and Private Fee-for-Service plans are offered by private insurance companies. These programs were initiated to give Medicare recipients more choice in their coverage. With these plans, you must continue to pay your Part B premiums, and you may also have to pay an additional premium to the insurance company as well as any related deductible or co-insurance payments. However, the services you receive may be more comprehensive than those offered through the Original Medicare Plan.

If you opt for the Original Medicare Plan, you might also be interested in securing Medicare Supplement Insurance, or "Medigap" insurance. The term Medigap comes from the notion that these insurance policies will cover the gaps in Medicare payments. Medigap doesn't fill in all the gaps -- but it helps. Before you buy a Medigap insurance policy, consider not only the services covered but also the amount of benefits and the monthly cost of the policy. Also pay attention to how much premiums may rise in years to come. You might also want to compare Medigap with the Medicare Managed Care and private fee-for-service programs, if they are offered in your area.

Pay Less for Auto Insurance if you Drive Less

If you have a car that spends most of its time parked in a garage, a couple of insurers have a deal for you : auto-insurance rates based on how much you drive, among other factors that suggest you present a lower risk on the roads. Read on this article extracted from Yahoo Finance and Wall Street Journal.

The thinking behind the mileage-based discounts offered by Progressive Corp. and GMAC Insurance is that people who rarely drive are less likely to get into accidents and thus are profitable customers even if insurers offer a big discount.

Insurers have long sought reliable mileage data for drivers, but the figures drivers report are notoriously unreliable, while technology-based solutions have proved complicated to implement. GMAC Insurance and Progressive are offering mileage discounts using onboard devices to measure miles, and in the case of Progressive, other driving habits.

Both pay-as-you-go plans offer drivers a chance to benefit from their minimalist driving habits while giving insurers a chance to price more accurately for the risk they take. While consumer advocates call it a generally benign arrangement, they suggest that, before signing up, drivers make sure they understand and feel comfortable with the information insurers are collecting.

The discount offered by GMAC Insurance, the 20th-largest property and casualty insurer in the U.S. by premiums written, is based on a partnership with General Motors Corp. subsidiary OnStar. It offers drivers discounts based on how many miles they drive, ranging from 54% off for those who drive less than 2,500 miles a year to a 14% discount for drivers who clock less than 15,000 miles annually.

To get the discount, which is available in 34 states, drivers must own a car manufactured by GM, GMAC's former parent, that is equipped with OnStar, a safety and navigation system installed in most new GM cars. The drivers must agree to have OnStar supply their insurer with a monthly odometer reading on which to base the discount.

Progressive's TripSense, available in Minnesota, Michigan and Oregon, requires customers to install a small device into their car's onboard diagnostic port, and then download the information to their home computer and send it off to Progressive at regular intervals. Progressive's discount for the program ranges from 5% to 25% and there may be a revised model.
