Thursday, 19 May 2011 / Published in Automobile Insurance

Do you ever shop around for car insurance? Do you interview potential agents to make sure you are getting the best car insurance policy for the best value? No matter what your driving record is, you should take the time to interview several car insurance agents before making a final decision.

Here are six important questions that you should ask a car insurance agent before buying insurance:

1. What discounts do you offer? Ask about safe driver discounts, good student discounts and multiple car discounts. How does one qualify?

2. What factors will impact my premium? Understand the different factors that can effect your premium before you buy car insurance.

3. How convenient is it to report a claim? Find an agent that has 24/7 claim reporting. Your insurance agent should be available when you need them, not matter what time of day or night.

4. Are there convenient payment options? Your agent should offer different payment options that are convenient to you.

5. Do you have an office? It’s nice to be able to speak with your insurance agent face-to-face if you want to. If your agent is only available on-line or on the phone, you may be sacrificing some service benefits.

6. Do you insure property other than cars? It is more convenient for one agency to hold all of your policies and there maybe discounts available to you if your agents insures your car and your home.

Purchasing car insurance is a huge decision and you should take the time to ask each potential agent these important questions. Look for a company that has a good reputation and has longevity in the industry. Contact Insurance Doctor if you are looking for car insurance.  We can talk to you on the phone or come into one of our convenient locations.

The Importance of Proper Air Pressure In Your Car’s Tires

Monday, 16 May 2011 / Published in Road Safety

At Insurance Doctor, we believe that proper maintenance of your vehicle can reduce the number of vehicle accidents on the road and prolong the life of your vehicle. One important thing to remember is to keep the correct air pressure in your tires. It is an important part of vehicle maintenance and can actually be as important as a regular tune-up. Tires with the proper air pressure can save you money on the road.

Benefits of Proper Air Pressure in Your Tires:

Your tires will wear longer
Improved gas mileage
Better handling and performance while driving
Reduced occurrence of accidents

It’s easy to forget about checking your tires especially when they don’t look low. However, tires lose pressure slowly over a period of time through the process of permeation. A good rule to remember is to think about refilling the air in your tires when you refill the fuel in your tank. It is a good idea to check the air pressure in your tires every other time you stop to fill up at the gas station or about every two weeks. Have the air pressure checked when you have your tires rotated. Don’t forget the spare tire. You will want to make sure it is has proper air pressure in it if you ever need to use it.

If you have been looking for additional ways to save money, look no further than your car insurance policy. Most people do not review their automobile policy annually. In many cases, it pays to review your automobile policy periodically to look for additional discounts.

Some key ways to save money on your car insurance include:

Maintain a good driving record
Cover all of your vehicles on the same automobile insurance policy
Take a defensive driving course
Install a car alarm in your car
Pay for your car insurance premium in one payment
Drive a car with anti-lock brakes and/or air-bags

Another way to save money that you may not have thought of is to combine your insurance plans with one company. For instance, get your automobile and home owner’s insurance from the same insurance company. This can possibly offer some additional savings. Insurance Doctor offers multiple insurance options:

Automobile Insurance
Motorcycle Insurance
Homeowner’s Insurance
Renter’s Insurance

Call Insurance Doctor if you have any questions about saving money on insurance. We can provide quotes for both your vehicle and home insurance needs.

“Click It or Ticket” Seat Belt Campaign

Wednesday, 27 April 2011 / Published in Road Safety

You have all heard the saying “Click it or Ticket”. The campaign to force drivers to wear their seat belt has taken a new aggressive approach. The fact is wearing your seat belts saves lives. Law enforcement officers are enforcing safety belt laws and handing out tickets to those people not wearing them. At Insurance Doctor, we strongly encourage all drivers to wear a safety belt when driving.

It’s hard to believe that drivers this day and time don’t wear safety belts, but it happens. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that in a recent study 18 percent of drivers still refuse to wear a seat belt – that’s a total of 48 million drivers. Most of these offenders fall into three categories: young male drivers, drivers in rural areas and drivers of pick-up trucks. The NHTSA also points out that wearing your seat belt increases your chances of surviving an accident by 45 percent.

Click It or Ticket is the most successful nationwide seat belt enforcement campaign ever. Thanks to this program, seat belt usage has climbed to an all time high rate of 85 percent. All throughout the country, the message is clear: wear your seat belt or pay the fine.

Factors That Determine Your Car Insurance Rates

Tuesday, 26 April 2011 / Published in Auto Insurance Premiums

How do insurance companies determine your insurance premiums? In addition to your driving record, there are other factors taken into consideration when doing the math to figure out what your insurance premium will be.

Five Factors Used To Determine Car Insurance Premiums:

1. What type of vehicle do you own? The model, year, and value of your car can have an impact on your insurance premium. Cars that are more expensive to repair will be more expensive to insure.

2. What is your age, sex and marital status? Statistics show that older drivers, female drivers and married drivers tend to have better driving records. Because of this, these drivers usually have lower premiums.

3. Is your vehicle used for work or pleasure? Using your vehicle for work will probably increase your premium.

4. What is your prior insurance coverage? If you are a new driver or if you do not have insurance coverage, you will incur higher rates.

5. Where do you live? States with high population density tend to have more accidents, and therefore, charge higher insurance premiums. Also, the type of insurance system in the state can affect insurance rates.

If you are shopping around for car insurance, contact Insurance Doctor. We can provide a free insurance quote either on-line or over the phone.
