Unbelievable but true according to a study most consumers in Texas have purchased from the same company for at least the last four years, and just under half have never compared rates with other companies. American drivers could pocket up to $850 a year, but they just don’t understand the rate savings if they just switched companies.

When to drop comprehensive and collision coverage

There isn’t a written rule for excluding physical damage coverage, but there is a general convention. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is about 10% or more of replacement cost minus your deductible, then it’s probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.

For example, let’s pretend your Nissan Sentra claim settlement value is $3,000 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most your company would pay you is $2,000 after paying your deductible. If premium cost is more than $200 annually for physical damage coverage, then it could be time to drop full coverage.

There are some cases where only buying liability is not financially feasible. If you still have a loan on your vehicle, you must maintain physical damage coverage in order to prevent the bank from purchasing higher-priced coverage. Also, if you can’t afford to buy a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should not remove full coverage.

Best auto insurance agent in Baytown

If you are wanting to find a local insurance agency, it helps to know the two types of insurance agents from which to choose. Baytown agents are either independent (non-exclusive) or exclusive. Either one can insure your vehicles, but it’s important to know how they differ since it can affect which type of agent you select.

Independent Insurance Agents

Agents in the independent channel do not sell for just one brand so as a result can place your coverage with many different companies and potentially find a lower price. If your agent finds better pricing, they simply switch companies in-house and you don’t have to do anything.

If you are comparing insurance prices, you absolutely need to include rate quotes from several independent agencies to have the most options to choose from.

Don’t give up on cheap coverage

You just read many ways to find cheaper coverage online. The key thing to remember is the more rate quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. You may even be surprised to find that the lowest priced car insurance comes from a small mutual company.

When you buy Baytown car insurance online, do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many cases, an insured cut liability coverage limits and discovered at claim time that the few dollars in savings costed them thousands. Your goal should be to find the BEST coverage at the lowest possible cost, but don’t skip important coverages to save money.

Insureds who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including lack of trust in their agent, poor customer service, denial of a claim and an unsatisfactory settlement offer. Whatever your reason, switching car insurance companies is less work than it seems.
