Finding Better Insurance Plans

After I switched jobs, I knew I would probably be faced with choosing a new insurance policy. I was nervous about the transition, but I knew it had to be better than the plan I had been using at my old job. I started going through the options with the human resources person, and it took me a long time to understand the different options. After a thorough evaluation, I opted for a health savings account, which let me keep a large percentage of what I would normally be paying in premiums every single month.

Auto Insurance Variables

There is no doubt that you want to find the best auto insurance that you can. You want the very best coverage for the very best price. Auto accidents are all too common and you do not want to be the one that is financially responsible for repairs and medical expenses. While you are shopping for the right auto insurance policy that fits for you, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. Here are a few different aspects of auto insurance that are going to affect the rate that you are able to get.

Driving History

Your driving history is going to have a direct affect on your insurance rate. You obviously do not want to get in an accident, but little things can also have an affect on your insurance rates. There are some companies that will increase your rates even if you have an unpaid parking ticket. In most states a traffic violation will go on your record and will stay on your record for approximately three years. If you have had a DUI, then you are going to have to get high risk auto insurance that will be very expensive. 

Credit History

The insurance company is going to be taking a payment each month, and they want to make sure that you are going to be able to make the payment and make the payment when it is due. Your credit is simply how much of a risk you are. A big part of your credit score is your payment history, so lenders feel that it is a good way to evaluate who is a high risk. It is smart to start working on your credit. There are things on your report that may be inaccurate. For instance it is very common to find things that should have dropped off after 7 years, but they did not. Get your credit where you are comfortable, and you should qualify for a lower insurance rate. 

Type Of Car

The type of car that you decide to buy can also have an impact on the rate that you are able to get. A sedan is going to be cheaper than a racing sports car. The reason behind this is simple: you are much more likely to be driving fast and irresponsible in the sports car. Just be careful with the car that you decide to purchase if you are looking for the best insurance rate.
