Car Insurance Myths

As long as car insurance has been around, there are still many misconceptions about this valuable coverage. Here are some common myths regarding auto insurance.

MYTH: You have no control over your car insurance rates.

Not true. You can start by driving safer. You can explore discounts. You can drive a safer car. You can raise your deductibles. You may even be able to take a driving course to earn savings. There’s more you can do than you may think.

MYTH: Car insurance companies are all the same.

Car insurance companies can vary dramatically, including their service, response, and even rates. Some offer discounts for monitored driving. It can pay to look around.

MYTH: You should stay with the same car insurance company year after year.

It is far better to compare rates annually. Car insurance companies know drivers don’t like to search for different insurance coverage. This can lead to rates that creep up year after year.

MYTH: Changing car insurance companies is a hassle.

MYTH: State Minimums are adequate.

MYTH: Insurance agents are all the same.

Car insurance agents generally fall into one of two broad categories. They may be captive agents or independent agents. Captive agents represent the products of one brand or company.
