My 16 year old daughter got a ticket for speeding. Now we were just wondering if this will increase her car insurance rate? Does she need to notify her car insurance carrier?

If this is your daughter’s first ticket then it is possible that she will not see any change on her car insurance rate. Different states have different laws concerning when and why car insurance companies can lower or increase car insurance premium but usually car insurance companies are not permitted to increase your her car insurance rates after just one ticket or any minor violation. Various car insurance companies practices vary when it comes to increasing premiums. Some car insurance companies will consider the severity of your citation and increase your car insurance rates accordingly; others will increase rates a specific amount per citation.

Generally, an insurer has the right to check the driving history of anyone who applies for an car insurance policy from that insurer. If they see that you do not have good driving record, theres a big possibility that your car insurance rates will increase. Car insurance companies typically has their own point system to know the amount of the increase (if any). Although rating systems among car insurers differ, most car insurance companies use a system based on the Safe Driver Insurance Plan, which is issued by the Insurance Services Office (ISO).

Your daughter need not to notify her car insurance company regarding the ticket she receive because the insurance company will eventually see this citation on her driving record the next time they check her record.

A friend of mine here in Illinois was asked to buy SR22 because of a major traffic violation. Since he has to pay higher than the normal car insurance premium, what can he do to get SR22 insurance that does not have sky rocket premium?

Most drivers, if not all, will encounter rough times on the road. However, be sure that you don’t get caught for major traffic violations because if you do, then you may have your license revoked and be required to get SR22 insurance. For those who live in Illinois, SR22 Illinois is a certification that they have to get from a car insurance company in order to have their license re-issued. If you run into traffic troubles and you need to get SR22 insurance, be sure to contact an SR22 insurance company instead of contacting a general insurance provider. Not all car insurance companies offer SR22 insurance so it would be better if you just go to a SR22 insurance firm.

SR22 insurance certifies that the driver is maintaining financial responsibility for his or her car insurance. You will be surprised to learn that SR22 Illinois has very costly rates. And in case the driver fails to pay his car insurance obligations on time, the car insurance provider can nullify it without prior notice. The driver would then have to apply for reinstatement of the SR22 insurance, which means more expenses.

But your friend can always get SR22 insurance that does not have a sky rocket premium. Tell him to be sure to always ask for as many SR22 quotes from SR22 insurance companies as he can. You would have to compare those SR22 quotes and pick among them the one that has the best coverage and yet one that just fits your allotted money for your car insurance.
One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to have a higher deductible amount.. Like a $1,000, is what I carry personally.

Now, if you are a claim free and safe driver like I am, you could be saving a ton of money each year on your premiums.  People fail to realize that the deductible amount is only paid when they file a claim and their insurance company pays that claim.

I’ve been to a lot of car insurance company and still, I think I am not getting the best deal. What am I doing wrong?

A: First of all, every car insurance company has their own way of calculating your insurance rate. You have to compare quotes for yourself and decide which one is offering the best auto insurance rate for you. If you think you are not getting the best auto insurance rate, take a moment and see if you already did the following.

• Have you been a good driver lately? Having a good driving record can greatly reduce your car insurance premium. Most car insurance companies rewards drivers who haven’t been into an accident or driving offense since they think you are responsible and you are less likely to ask for claims.
• Do you have a good credit standing? Nowadays, credit score plays a big role in calculating ones insurance rate. Car insurance companies have done a research and the results shows that people with bad credit standings are more likely aiming for insurance claims. As a result, they rate them as risk applicants and give them a higher quote.
• Is your car safe? You can get a low insurance rate if you can prove to your car insurance company that your car is safe or secure from being stolen or vandalized or the driver in it is safe in case of an accident.

Achieving the best auto insurance rate is everybody’s dream and it’s not hard for you to obtain it if you do those simple tasks.

Does your auto insurance rates go up once you reach the age of 65?

Rob

No, insurance rates do not necessarily increase once you reach age 65. It will depend upon insurance company guidelines and state laws if auto insurance rates will be raised after a motorist turns a certain age.

Some insurance carriers offer lower rates to those between 50 and 65 years of age,because this group has lower accident rates. After the age 65 rates do start to rise again though and those over age 70 may have difficulty looking for an insurance company to accept them as a new policyholder since accidents for this age group tend to go up.

There are car insurance companies though that give senior driver discounts for drivers of a certain age with clean history or discounts to seniors who attend an approved driving course.
