Rancho Cucamonga, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2010

As millions of American drivers spill out onto the road for summer vacations, it’s important to remember that increased traffic brings with it increased risk. Consumers need to be prepared for dealing with varying state laws and to make sure coverage will be adequate to pay for costs in the event of an accident.

OnlineAutoInsurance.com recommends that drivers crossing state lines be aware of risks that are associated with particular states. Drivers from Massachusetts may not find uninsured motorist coverage too enticing, since the state’s uninsured motorist rate is estimated at a mere 1 percent. But such coverage could prove invaluable when driving through states like New Mexico, which has an estimated 29-percent uninsured motorist rate. Avid travelers may want to go online for an auto insurance quotes comparison to see how much it would cost to add such coverage.

Unless higher vacation costs are desired, drivers need to also be aware of differences in state driving laws. A motorist living in a state that does not require drivers to carry proof of coverage might unthinkingly leave insurance papers at home; but if that same driver gets pulled over in one of the states requiring drivers to carry such proof, a fine can be expected.

And summer travelers who shrug off possible coverage complications could see dire consequences if the holiday plans involve a drive into Mexico. Although U.S. driver’s licenses are considered valid there, most insurance policies will not be honored south of the border, according to the U.S. Department of State. The department goes on to say that drivers without Mexican liability coverage who get in an accident in Mexico “are almost certain to spend some time in jail until all parties are satisfied that responsibility has been assigned and adequate financial satisfaction received.” Luckily, insurance that will be honored in Mexico can be purchased on either side of the border.

For any time of the year, a driver’s best tools are defensive driving and extensive auto coverage. The resources available at http://www.onlineautoinsurance.com/ make it easy to compare coverage and to learn more about state regulation.

The Aurora resident said he declined the company’s insurance coverage, thinking his insurance company would cover any damage he did to the vehicle. Even now he isn’t sure whether his insurance would have covered damages the rental company claimed the car sustained.

Kusmider’s case highlights an age-old consumer question: Is rental car insurance worth it?

The short answer: Sometimes.

Jeanne Salvatore, a spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute, suggests consumers make two calls before renting a car — one to their insurance company; the other to the number on the back of their credit card.

Generally speaking, if you own a car and have insurance, that policy extends to your rental car. Many credit card companies also offer car insurance that covers rentals.

(PRWeb UK) June 24, 2010 — Recent research from the Driving for Better Business organisation shows that, excluding the daily work commute, a quarter of all vehicle journeys on UK roads are made for work purposes. In light of the numbers of cars on the road for business purposes, Post Office Car Insurance is encouraging drivers to check they have the necessary car insurance cover before making business trips in their own vehicles.

While company cars may have separate car insurance cover through a business policy, if trips are being undertaken in personally-owned vehicle, Post Office Car insurance reminds drivers that they may need to check their own car insurance policy carefully. Many car insurance policies do not cover business use of personal vehicles as standard.

With research stating that business drivers are between 30 and 40 per cent more likely to have a collision than private drivers, Post Office Car Insurance advises motorists to check their car insurance policy thoroughly to ensure they are covered for all eventualities.

Injury accidents are also higher for company drivers who drive more that 80 per cent of their annual mileage for work purposes, according to the study . This again highlights the importance and value of researching car insurance options thoroughly.

(PRWEB) June 14, 2010 — When leasing a car, the company wants to make sure that their car is protected from damages. They will want the consumer to purchase liability coverage. The car insurance will protect the company’s investment and prevent the consumer from getting trapped in a serious financial problem. Car accident damages can be costly so consumers have to purchase the leased car insurance. Consumers must take into consideration the fees discussed in the contract. Some of the basic fees include termination costs, additional charges and etc. The contract will also mention the car insurance fee. It is important to buy car insurance. Customer who does not buy a lease car insurance will be liable for the total fee of the damages including repair fee and medical costs. That’s why Insure4USA.com recently released an new guide, “Car Insurance for Leased Cars Explained,” to help consumers better understand insurance options for leased vehicles.

Leased car owner have to purchase a higher amount of insurance premium than the minimum state requirement. Different states have different lease car insurance requirements. Consumers will have to check with the local state department to find out the minimum requirement for the leased car insurance. “Many lease car insurance companies maintain that the consumer must purchase minimum liability coverage of $100,000 and property liability coverage of $50,000. In addition, consumers will be required to buy coverage for personal body injury of at least $300,000,” the article states.

Leased car owner must purchase a collision and comprehensive insurance. The collision and comprehensive insurance is necessary because it will offer coverage for the damages in the event that of an accident. Normally, consumers are required to pay a deductible. Consumers must purchase a comprehensive and collision coverage for at least $500 deductible.

According to the Insure4USA.com article, “Gap car insurance will compensate the difference of the car value and the remaining outstanding balance.” The gap insurance premium is a onetime fee. The average cost of a gap insurance premium is a few hundred dollars. Purchasing a gap insurance premium can help the consumer to save thousands of dollars in the car is stolen. Gap car insurance is suitable for people that made up to 20% of down payment. People who financed the leased car for at least 6 years can also purchase the gap coverage. Luxury vehicle will depreciate quickly so consumer must purchase the gap car insurance.

If you get involved in an accident, the insurance company will offer compensation for the repair costs. Some insurance company will replace the damage parts with OEM parts while others use a mix of OEM and non OEM parts. If the company does not offer OEM parts replacement, consumers can still request for OEM parts to be used when repairing the car.

Supporters of Proposition 17 said the ballot initiative, sponsored mainly by Mercury Insurance, would lead to more competition and better rates for consumers who take advantage of “continuous coverage” discounts by sticking with insurers.

But opponents said the proposition would unfairly raise fees for drivers who drop their coverage and would erode consumer rights guaranteed under Prop. 103, the landmark insurance reform measure that voters approved in 1988.

Tuesday’s low voter turnout could help the measure pass, opponents said. Early returns showed the measure gaining support in Southern California counties, while Bay Area counties showed opposition.
