Would car insurance companies listen?

Would auto insurance companies cover deer collision? I just moved into an area where deer traffic causes occasional accidents. Though not much damage will befall on the vehicles, it is definitely a death sentence to the poor animal.

My friend who is already living in that locality has even sold her car because she is filled with guilt in causing death to a deer. She then took up the matter with her car insurance company to inquire coverage for accidents involving deer.

Not happy with their response, she is now interacting with the forest authorities to take preventive measures for stopping the trespass of forest animals.

I wonder how this issue is dealt by the American car insurance companies. I remember reading an article about the collisions with deer in carinsurancelist.com that warned the car drivers to approach a wounded deer with extreme caution, as it is very dangerous.

You decide how much you want to pay for your car insurance.

I do not know about the rest of the world but the American’s way of assessing vehicle insurance premium is definitely unique and very friendly to those who drive less frequently.

I read an interesting article in cheapestautoinsurance.net. The article elaborates on the latest American auto insurance policy that provides a novel way to save money on annual car insurance.

Car owners who use their car less frequently and who practice safe driving will now pay less insurance premium when compared to those who use their car regularly and show indifference to speed restrictions.

A certain device is fitted into every car and it collects all the vital data and transfers them to a master computer that analyses the data and calculates the insurance premium.

I would say this innovative measure is a welcome move to conserve fuel and to save nation’s economy.

Musical insurance?

There is no connection between the GEICO, the world’s biggest car insurance company that is said to serve a whopping 9 million customers and me. However, I read a car insurance review blog as and when I remember because of its news worthy content.

The latest blog post is about a unique offer from GEICO to its customers. It offers them to download ringtones for their mobile phones as a bonus!

I know what you are thinking-“who could be interested in ringtones as an incentive to buy car insurance?” You will change your opinion once you know that the ringtones are by the famous musician Charlie Daniels.

Charlie Daniels is 73 and still attracting large crowds whenever he performs. His fan club is reported to be huge and his website is stunning.

Car insurance companies of India- are you listening?

Renewing car insurance?

Midnight calls are always scary, no matter however you are strong mentally. I had to scare the wits out of my brother in Oregon and I was calling from Virginia where I was spending my vacation.

Without remembering the 3 hours plus time difference, I woke him up around 2.00 AM to inquire if he can come to pick me up a day later than agreed.

He sounded relieved as he could not take out his car on that day because his car insurance expires and he is yet to hear from estatecarinsurance.com about his car insurance renewal.

He promised to get it fixed within that day as estate car insurance works round the clock.

Well, car insurance issues in America seem to be complicated to me. I just thanked him for agreeing to postpone the visit by one day.

I remembered this when I renewed my car insurance yesterday without any hassles. Oh, how easy it is in Madras!

Contact me for tips to save on auto insurance.

Even before the money goes out of the bank or wallet, the word goes out. It is simply amazing how sales people of insurance companies’ smell the air. I made a few inquiries to buy a second hand car for my son.

Before taking a short nap, I have compiled the call made and data collected in a piece of paper. I was surprised to find 35 missed calls in my mobile when I woke up; and I slept for only 35 minutes!

Since none of the callers were known to me, I tentatively returned the first 3 calls. Guess what! All of them were eager to submit auto insurance quote for a car I am yet to buy.

Well, due to my prior experience, I drove hard for maximum auto insurance discount for the used car that I planned to buy. I know auto insurance agents are hard nuts to crack and they are tough negotiators when it comes to parting with some of their own commission.

After talking to half a dozen salesmen, I am yet to finalize my auto insurance deal.

How to risk your car for free.

Call me crazy or stupid, I am what I am. I can’t tolerate losing even a pen. The entire day will be washed out in morose when I lose something. I have been like this since my childhood.

When one is raised in not so affluent conditions, one picks up this habit-am I right?

Yesterday, I had this irresistible to urge to sell off my old car and buy a new one. But my husband suppressed my unreasonable urge and drove sense to me.

He pointed out the time and money we spent only a month ago on the car insurance. I remembered how we shopped online and offline to get as many auto insurance quotes as possible and finally paid through our nose. Still, paying vehicle insurance is the only way to risk your car for free.

When we sell our car, it is not possible to ask the buyer to pay back the auto insurance cost as extra. Another odd thing I used to do; I even insure car lock.

Oh well, I think I have to wait for eleven more months to dispose of my old car.

Cheap car coverage.

I didn’t know that car insurance cost is so high. Three days before, my brother-in-law offered his old car to my husband free of cost generously. He is leaving the country for better prospects.

He was explaining the car papers to my husband. We gasped when we saw how much auto insurance charges he is paying per year. We politely refused the gift of a life time.

Seeing our apprehension, my brother-in-law then explained that there are ways to reduce the cost of auto insurance by changing the insurance provider. This can be done by asking for auto insurance quotes for free from several insurance service providers.

There are hundreds of websites that facilitate this service of getting car insurance quotes and compare them and choose the lowest bidder by using a rating engine.

He admitted that he has not been using this method and that’s why he has been paying high car insurance premium.

We are still not able to make up our mind about accepting the car.
