I am not 100% sure i know what your asking, but if your talking about being taken off your parents policy because your going to college - that might not be the best move. The company/agency should just change your "Status" on the policy to "student in state", "student out of state", or something along those lines. Here are few things to consider: - Who owns the car your driving? (if you are taking one w/ you to school) - Where is the car garaged most of the time? (at school or at parents home) I hope that helps. Like i said, i am not totally clear on your question. If this isnt helping, give me a call on Monday at my office and well talk. |

Welcome!
Question: I am on my parents insurance policy and have been for 5 or 6 years to keep my rates low. I own my car which is a 97 mitsu eclipse GST spyder, No accidents and 1 ticket 2 years ago which had no points. If I were to get my own policy, would my rates skyrocket? The car is drivin less the 5,000 miles a year. It also has a security system if it makes a difference. One more thing.....Is there a policy that will cover what is invested in the car with proof of whats invested, Incase the car was ever stolen, vandalized or totaled?

Here's my question.
Is an accident with under $1,500 of damage total between both cars truly less harsh on your insurance price and possibly ignored on that price changing different than an accident with more than a $1,500 payout? I talked to a lady at my previous insurance about this and she was being a bitch (she was getting ready to lock up like 20 minutes early and I just had a few quick questions). I was there with my parents and asked if the $1,500 rule is true or not because if you request insurance quotes, something around that range is optional to be selected. Well we asked the lady if we could return the check for my damages and then just pay for my damages out of pocket and she said no and something similar happened to her son. I just want to know if she was indeed being a bitch that day like myself and my parents think, and if I could have returned the check and basically had the accident brushed of my record. The other kid only had in the $500 range worth of damage (Tailgate and metal bumper for a 1989 Chevrolet Cheyenne truck). Hell, the kid was trying to get an exhaust and blame transmission problems on the accident also (it was an automatic). The accident happened a year ago yesterday... so its nothing new... Could I do something about this? I'm paying around $790 every 6 months for liability only on a 96 Geo Tracker with Geico until I get my 240 on the road and I fear I'm going to get raped even more. Sometimes I think insurance is a joke. You HAVE to have it, and I had EVERYTHING covered including aftermarket stuff. They included the CF hood and all in the extimate for this accident like they were supposed to. But then when you need your insurance company... and pay extra to have collision coverage, you get screwed HARD. Last edited by yellow2000S/R; 03-08-2008 at 07:00 PM. |

If you want to talk about it more, give me a call or drop me an email and we can talk. But you can see the logic there right? A $500 fender bender would obviously be looked at differently than a $5,000 accident. Therefore the company reacts differently depending upon the specific claim. |

Okay this is a good time for this thread because I have been planning on adjusting my coverage.
I want to have a beater and a nice car for the summer. During oct-april the car will be garaged and never driven. Is it possible to not have it insured during these periods, or to have it on some minimal insurance covering natural disasters (like in case the garage collapses or something) possibly theft coverage but that won't be 100% necessary since it will be blocked in by 2-3 cars usually. The beater will need to be insured year round. I am 21 and on my moms policy as a primary driver if that affects anything.

Can you insure cars in NJ? Also, if a car is completely modified and they keep all their receipts, will they be reimbursed for the parts as well if the car is stolen or totalled? Of course at a depriciated value that is...
Assume it's full coverage with comprehensive. Thanks

I was told that anything that is performance related can not and will not be covered and they don't have add ons that would cover a perfomance modified car that is also a street driven car. Is this true?

What are your policys on high performance driving events like auto-x? Most companies want to drop you if they even hear you might do one. I wouldn't expect to be covered at the events, but it would be great to have a company that supports these and I don't have to hide them from.

If that wasnt you - and for others who may want to know - Most mainstream insurance companies will NOT cover your car during ANY type of track/racing event. Even Auto-X. Now there are a few companies that i know of (And work with) that provide coverage for this type of thing - but it really only makes sense (financially) if you are REALLY into it (15-20 events a season). Shoot me an email if your intersted in learning more..... |
