Everyone wants to make car insurance buying easy. That is why so many people are buying auto insurance online. However, here are a few tips and tricks you might not have thought of.
First, do your homework, research every aspect of the company, and know who you are buying from.
Since you are not going to be dealing with someone face to face, you must know who it is you are going to be trusting the insurance on your car to. Check out the background of the company from how long they have been in business to the Department of Insurance's rating for them, to how well they handle claims that are turned in. Never buy a policy if you do not know what kind of company they are.
Second you always want to read the policy thoroughly and know exactly what you are getting.
Most companies online can either e mail you a copy of the policy or fax it or U.S. mail it to you. Make absolutely certain you know what that policy says. Know the liability limits and the deductibles. Know the amount of medical payments and whether the policy automatically includes uninsured motorist. When you are dealing with online auto insurance companies you must remember to examine, look, read, and ask. Never let anything go that you are not sure of. If you do not understand something, ask, ask, ask.
The third thing you want to do is find out exactly how their claims system works and how you file a claim.
Since you are going to be working with an online auto insurance company, it is extremely important to know what to do in the event you need to file a claim (accident or other). Ask if someone will come out to investigate the claim and look at the car in the event of an accident or if you will have to send in pictures and paperwork (i.e. police report or incident report or other) yourself. Sometimes dealing with an online insurance company when you have a claim can be quiet an ordeal.
