It may be expensive, but it’s not optional

Despite the high cost, paying for car insurance may be mandatory for several reasons.

• Most states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means you are required to carry a specific level of liability insurance if you don’t want to risk a ticket. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your C-HR, almost all lenders will force you to have insurance to guarantee loan repayment. If you do not pay your insurance premiums, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Toyota at a significantly higher premium and force you to reimburse them for it.
• Car insurance preserves your Toyota C-HR and your assets. Insurance will pay for most medical and hospital costs for you, your passengers, and anyone else injured in an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also pays expenses related to your legal defense if someone files suit against you as the result of an accident. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, your car insurance policy will pay to have it repaired.

The benefits of insuring your car greatly outweigh the cost, especially for larger claims. The average driver in America is wasting up to $855 a year so compare rate quotes each time the policy renews to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Corpus Christi auto insurance discounts

Car insurance can cost a lot, but you might be missing out on some discounts that you may not even be aware of. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of quoting, but occasionally some discounts must be asked for prior to getting the savings.

• No Claims – Insureds who avoid accidents and claims can earn big discounts as compared to drivers who are more careless.
• Discounts for Responsible Drivers – Safe drivers may save up to 50% more than their less cautious counterparts.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the whole policy. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as comp or med pay. So even though they make it sound like it’s possible to get free car insurance, you won’t be that lucky.

When researching a good Corpus Christi insurance agent, you must know there are a couple types of insurance agents and how they can write your policy. Agents can either be independent agents or exclusive agents. Either one can sell affordable auto insurance policies, but it’s worth learning the difference in how they write coverage since it may influence the selection process.

Independent Auto Insurance Agencies

Agents that elect to be independent do not work for one specific company so as a result can place your coverage with many different companies depending on which coverage is best. If your agent finds better pricing, an independent agent can move your coverage and you don’t have to switch agencies.

If you need lower rates, you absolutely need to contact at least one independent agent in order to compare the most rates.

Exclusive Agents

Exclusive agents can usually just insure with one company such as AAA, State Farm, Farmers Insurance, and Allstate. Exclusive agents cannot give you multiple price quotes so they have to upsell other benefits. Exclusive agents are well trained on their company’s products and that allows them to sell at a higher price point.

Listed below is a short list of exclusive agents in Corpus Christi who can help you get price quote information.

• Where would glass claims be handled in Corpus Christi?
• Do the coverages you’re quoting properly cover your vehicle?
• Do they receive special compensation for putting your coverage with one company over another?
• Will the company cover a rental car if your car is getting fixed?

• What will you get paid if your car is a total loss? How is that amount determined?
• Does the agent have professional designations like CIC, CPCU or AIC?
• Does the agent have a valid license to sell insurance in Texas?

Persistence will pay off

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, you should never skimp on coverage in order to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped collision coverage and learned later that it was a big mistake. The ultimate goal is to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest cost and still be able to protect your assets.

A few companies do not provide online price quotes and many times these small insurance companies prefer to sell through independent agents.
