    Comprehensive auto insurance save drivers if their car was damaged by willful destruction, hail or fallen trees. That’s why most people should have this coverage.

Sex and Car Insurance: How Gender Affects Your Rate

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Apr 27, 2011

Auto insurance actuaries make generalizations about groups of people to help them determine auto insurance rates. Though it sounds surprisingly un-PC, your gender can generally predict driving behavior and, hence, how likely you are to be involved in an accident. And in spite of the stereotype of the ditzy female driver, you might be surprised to learn who pays more for car insurance. Ready?

Generally, males between the ages of 16-25 pay more for auto insurance than females the same age. It may seem like gender discrimination but there are good reasons why:

  • Males typically drive more than females. The more miles you drive, the higher your chances are for accidents and auto insurance claims.
  • Young males take more risks behind the wheel. Insurance companies charge inexperienced drivers — both male and female — higher auto insurance rates since they’re more likely to file an auto insurance claim or get a speeding ticket sometime during their young driving careers.
  • Young adult males push their limits behind the wheel. As a result, men are more than twice as likely to die in car crashes as women.

However, male drivers can look forward to more equitable car insurance rates with their female counterparts as they mature. (Assuming they survive their young risk-taking days.) As their driving experience grows, males will find that they pay less for auto insurance — especially with a good driving record and few to no auto insurance claims.

Advice For Cyclone Season In The South Pacific

Posted by Amanda Mitchell \\ Apr 27, 2011

Travelers heading to the South Pacific region should be aware of the risk of cyclones during the period of December through April, according to the U.S. Department of State. The threat of cyclones originating in the area could cause problems for your trip.

While most vacations in the South Pacific pass without any negative incident, you should monitor weather reports and take the appropriate action should a tropical cyclone hit the region. Make sure your trip is protected with trip cancellation insurance. Affected areas include Australia, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu, as well as French Polynesia.

Make sure you have up-to-date travel insurance to cover a tropical cyclone if it hits your vacation while you are abroad. In the past, U.S. residents were unable to return home on their scheduled flights due to infrastructure damage and limited flight availability.

Take care in the aftermath of a tropical storm or cyclone. Risk of dangerous high tides and flooding occurs when cyclones hit. Check with the local authorities for advice on what to do following a tropical storm and pay attention to any weather warnings for the near future.

USAA Auto Insurance Information

Posted by Kristin Collins \\ Apr 27, 2011

The United Services Automobile Association, or USAA, is a reciprocal financial services company which offers various products, from banking to insurance, to all members of the United States armed forces of any branch, as well as their immediate family members. Formed in 1922 by 25 members of the U.S. Army, the company has since grown until it is now a Fortune 500 company. USAA posted almost $18 billion in revenue in 2010 and has more than 8 million members. USAA auto insurance is known as some of the most reliable and responsive in the industry.

USAA History

Originally called the United States Army Automobile Association, USAA was formed by 25 armed forces officers in response to their inability to obtain auto insurance because they were labeled as high risk by the insurers of that time, due to their occupations. The popularity of their product caught on quickly, and the company opened offices on military bases in Germany and the U.K. after their original branch in Texas. By the 1960s their name changed to USAA, and they had begun to diversify into other financial areas, but their focus has always been on the military and their dependents.

USAA Auto Insurance Products

USAA offers all auto insurance products, from basic liability and casualty coverage to the most detailed comprehensive policies. This company has an extremely high loyalty rate among its customers, due to the fraternal nature of the companys target audience, of course, but also due to their commitment to customer service and response, which has won industry and consumer awards. Their prices are very competitive, and they advertise that customers can save hundreds of dollars per year by switching to USAA.

Discounts and Savings

The company has a wide array of benefits and discounts for its customers, designed to save them money and increase customer loyalty. For instance, drivers who have maintained good driving records for 5 years, who complete defensive driving and driver training courses, and those whose children maintain good school grades all qualify for significant premium discounts. Those who bundle policies, drive multiple vehicles with USAA insurance, keep USAA service for extended periods of time, and who drive new vehicles are also entitled to big savings on their auto insurance.

Award-Winning Customer Service

USAA had won several awards and designations for its exceptional service, such as by JD Power and Associates, AM Best, Consumer Reports and Business week, many of these recognitions firsts for the insurance industry. USAA has always taken advantage of their unique niche and stayed atop trends. USAA members can get quotes, customize, purchase, and alter their policies easily through the companys online and phone systems; they can also initiate and monitor claims too. USAA offers 24/7 roadside assistance and on-site claims service, and was one of the first auto insurers to do so.

For those who are eligible to utilize USAAs services, meaning those who are either past or present U.S. armed forces members or their family or descendants, there are many excellent advantages to joining up. USAA has a wide range of services at excellent prices, and a very good reputation among their peers, customers and the business world.

Resedential Caravan Insurance

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Apr 24, 2011

Sometimes, a static caravan can be more than just a holiday home ? it can be your year-round residence. If thats the case then adequate residential caravan insurance is absolutely essential, much like it is for traditional homes, and if youve got in place then you can enjoy your home with nothing to worry about.

As with all types of insurance, there are several levels of cover that you can consider. This will range from simple third party cover to something much more comprehensive, and it obviously depends on your own personal circumstances (and your budget) as to which one you go for. Its important to consider contents insurance as well, because with the cost of possessions rapidly increasing itd be unwise not to.

However, you need to be aware of the additional risks involved when taking out this type of insurance. Because static caravans aren?t made of traditional bricks and mortar they could well be seen as less secure, making proper security devices an essential purchase. Having them in place will often be stipulated in the terms and conditions of your quote, and if you take out additional measures you could even reduce your premiums. You also need to make sure that you park on a secure site that doesnt suffer from flooding, as if its an area thats known for being a flood risk you could well find securing insurance much more difficult.

Luckily there are plenty of insurance companies out there that will be able to offer this type of cover, and choosing the right one will all come down to research. Make sure that you see what each one can offer and always go for the most comprehensive level of cover you can afford, and don?t be afraid to shop around to see what?s out there. It?s often best to head to the specialists because it?s here that you?ll be able to find the best prices (as well as the best cover), and if you take the time to look you?ll easily find what you?re looking for.

So, when you?re looking for residential caravan insurance, make sure to take your time. You need to carefully compare all the options before you make your decision, and while you always want to get the best you can for your money, make sure that you dont skimp out either. This is your home and you want it to be as safe and secure as you possibly can, and having adequate insurance in place will be one of the best things you can do.

The Top 5 Pickups that are Cheap to Insure

Posted by Kristin Collins \\ Apr 23, 2011

Whoever is looking for a truck that is cheap to insure will need to understand that it will have to be a small style model. Pickups are generally costly to insure in the full size range because of the repair costs. At one time there were full size and compact size trucks. However, most manufacturers are now building a mid-size vehicle that has the ability to perform as a truck but with a little less capacity. Here are the low insurance premium winners as rated by the industry.

#5 Chevrolet Colorado

The manufacturers suggested starting price for the Colorado is $17,045, and its small engine sports 25 mpg on the highway. This is the best of any mid size truck with a crew cab. The Colorado is also available in standard cab and extended cab versions. The vortec engine also comes in a 5-cylinder and a V-8. Insurance rating is based on the standard body style and 4-cylinder engine.

#4 GMC Canyon

This is the brother of the Chevrolet Colorado and has the same starting price for the standard cab, and mileage is about on par with the Colorado, too. The same three motor and body styles are offered as on the Colorado. This good-looking truck has suffered from power problems, which has given it a setback from some of the other trucks on the cheap to insure list. Other than low insurance premiums, this truck is not highly regarded.

#3 Mazda B Series Truck

Since 1994, Mazda trucks have been built by Ford, so the Mazda B Series is basically a Ranger with a different shell. Mazda has never attempted to escape from the definition of the compact pickup, and that is why it is number three on the list of cheap to insure trucks. It comes with a standard 5-speed transmission with a 4-cylinder motor. The biggest thing that this pickup offers is dependability.

#2 Ford Ranger

Not to change a winning formula, the Ranger has stayed with the same fundamental product design since 1983 with the exceptions of some cosmetic changes in the 1990s. The starting price for this solid compact is $18,050 for the 4-cylinder and standard cab. A 4.0 liter V-6 is one option, and the extended cab is a popular addition. Many customers appreciate the consistency of the Rangers design and performance.

#1 Suzuki Equator

The cheap to insure winner in the small truck line is the Equator, which features two body styles, the extended and the crew cab. This is considered a clone of the Nissan Frontier and it is not a compact pickup. With the optional V-6 motor, the Equator has enough power to handle jobs bigger than a typical compact. This truck is short on bells and whistles but offers a 7-year/100,000 mile warranty.

The vehicles listed here are not heavy-duty pickup trucks and are more suited for hauling small payloads, but they are cheap to insure, and that amounts to money savings for someone who doesnt need or want a full size pickup. All these vehicles offer dependable service, too, which is an additional reason to consider ownership.

Making Windshield Claims Easy (and Green)

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Apr 23, 2011

Ever driven down the road and heard the sickening sound of a rock flying into your windshield? Not a good thing to hear, huh?

It happens all the time, though. In fact, glass damage is one of the most common car insurance claims. But there’s good news, too. With Esurance, you can file glass claims online or through your smartphone. And it’s quick and easy.

Plus, when you file your claim online, you still have all the benefits of the Esurance glass-repair program:

  • Lifetime warranty for as long as you own your car
  • Windshield repair options (you don’t have to replace your windshield)
  • Free mobile repair service
  • No paperwork

We hope you’ll never hear the sound of your windshield being struck by a rock, but in case you do, we’re here for you.

Save a Windshield, Plant a Tree

In 2009, we partnered with Esurance to kick off Save a Windshield, Plant a Tree. Through the program, we pledged to plant a tree for every customer who chose windshield repair over replacement. So far it’s been a huge success, with more than 13,500 customers opting for repair!

Last April, we planted the first 5,500 trees in Madison County, Ohio, as part of a program designed to create oak savannas in central Ohio. And this year, we’ll be planting 8,000 more in and around Springfield, Ohio. The first of these plantings will take root next Friday, April 29 — so check back

Burglary up by 14% and expected to rise

Posted by Amanda Mitchell \\ Apr 23, 2011

Domestic burglaries have risen by 14%, according to new statistics from the Home Office.

Worryingly, it is also widely expected that burglaries will continue to become more frequent due to the warm weather leading people to spend more time in their gardens and leave windows open.

According to home insurer Ageas almost half (47%) of adults do not keep their front doors locked when they are at home and 13% only lock their front door during the night.

Managing Director Mark Cliff said that the notion few burglaries happen when the home is occupied is nonsense, and that some imprudent homeowners leave themselves open to opportunistic burglars who take advantage of open windows and unlocked doors.

Recently, AXA Insurance warned of a surge in burglary during the forthcoming Royal Wedding, which is expected to see 40% of people out of the house and 21% enjoying a party at home.

Unfortunately, burglars have an eye for such occasions, including New Year’s Eve and Guy Fawkes Night, which tend to see spikes in burglary.

Insurers Battle Damage Costs from Storms that Killed 45 People

Posted by Kristin Collins \\ Apr 21, 2011

A number of insurance companies are struggling to keep up with claims responding to damage produced by severe storms and tornadoes that struck much of the U.S. in the past week. Several major insurers have racked up more than 12,000 claims and are expected to see more in the coming days and weeks.

State Farm and Nationwide Deal with High Number of Claims

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., the largest provider of home and auto insurance, is dealing with claims that have been accumulating for both types of coverage in the wake of massive storms that ravaged much of the U.S. from Oklahoma to the East Coast and claimed the lives of 45 people.

State Farm estimates it has received 7,500 home insurance claims so far. Much of the structural damage, in North Carolina and Virginia in particular, has resulted in many homes most likely being declare uninhabitable. State Farm has also received 2,900 auto insurance claims and expects to see more in the near future.

Nationwide Mutual has also counted a large tally of claims. So far, it has received 2,000 for home and auto in North Carolina alone.

Do You Have to File a Claim?

If you live in one of the affected areas, you may want to file a claim but don’t know what to do. The specific guidelines are slightly different for filing a home insurance claim versus filing an auto insurance claim, but to get you started, here are a few basic tips:

  • Find your policy: In both cases, you want to find your insurance policy to take a quick look at what it covers so you’re not making claims on items the insurer won’t pay for. If you can’t find yours, contact your insurance company to obtain a copy.
  • Survey your damage: Next, you want to look over the damage to your home or car, make a list of what’s been lost (in your home) and take pictures of the destruction. It’s also good to find pictures or video footage of your home and car prior to the damage to give the insurance company a way to compare.
  • Don’t procrastinate: One mistake some people make is waiting too long to make a claim. While it won’t make or break the process necessarily, it could be harder for the company to do an effective job at settling the claim if aspects of the damage are no longer the same due to changes you’ve made or even environmental changes.

The insurance companies have much to deal with in the coming weeks and months, so do all you can on your end to make the process flow as smoothly as possible.
