If your car is a total loss will the insurance company help you fix it if you both pay?

If your car is deemed a total loss, the insurance company will only pay up the value of the vehicle. They will have nothing to do with the repairs. If the vehicle is worth $5,000 and the damage is $8,000, you are going to pay $3,000 out of your own pocket. Once the insurance company pays you that $5,000, they are out of the picture. Just be prepared for a 'salvage' fee to be deducted from your settlement by the insurance company. That is what they would have gotten for your vehicle if you had surrendered it to them.

Why does your car insurance rate go up if you've had a break in your car insurance for any reason?

There are a number of reasons for this. The most important thing to realize that insurance is about predicting future loss. The way an insurance company does this is by looking at drivers that share similar characteristics (insurance history, driving history, credit, type of car, where you live) and comparing them to the average payouts in accidents. Just like getting a speeding ticket costs your insurance company nothing, your rate increases because it is a behavior that is correlated to an increase in the potential for a future loss. Specific to insurance history, reasons that this increases your rate follow: 1 - Drivers that have lapses in their insurance are more expensive from an administrative stand point. If you are stopping and restarting insurance you are costing the company money. Just like any business the cost of administering the product is figured in to the price it charges all customers. 2 - Drivers without insurance do not have the ability to file claims and therefore the insurance company does not know how likely you are to file a claim if you haven't had the ability to. Maintaing a long (3 year+) claim free insurance history, assures the company that you will continue to be claim free and easy to administer. Therefore a preffered rate is offered to people with those characterstics.

Homeowners insurance will not cover damages to your vehicle for two reasons

2. Homeowners insurance does not cover automobiles anyway,

It would be a waste of time and energy trying to file a claim against your Mother for something which she is not liable. That's what auto insurance is for.

AnswerYou should file with both. Each company may settle the claim differently. One company may total the vehicle while another may want to repair it....yes, I know you said it was totaled. You will not believe how some company will want to fix anything to save a buck. Also, the settlement amount may be different from one company than the other. You will have to pay the deductible for your auto policy....at first. Then your company will be reimbursed by the other company. You will be reimbursed for the deductible then.

If you have your own auto insurance policy for a different car will you be covered if you drive a car not on your policy?

If the vehicle not listed on the policy is a new car that you have recently purchased, you generally have 30 to notify your insurance company of the change. If the vehicle you are driving is just a friends car then, no. Insurance is primary to the vehicle and it is important that the owner of the car have insurance on it and that any drivers of the car be listed as covered on their policy. There are exceptions to everything and these rules will vary by company. It's best to check directly with your insurance company for questions like this.

Can you get auto insurance with out having a car?

Even if you do not own a car, you still need insurance protection if you drive one. The auto you borrow, rent, or use may have proper insurance coverage, but you also should protect yourself with personal liability protection.

Here is how to get it:

Ask for the cost of higher liability coverage based on the assets you own and your projections of future income to be protected. For your protection, consider purchasing as much liability insurance coverage as you can afford

Ask the insurance company or agent about your state's minimum liability coverage rules. States differ in the minimum liability insurance coverage they require.

Analyze your assets, including home, furniture, art, clothing, computer, electronics, and all other personal assets. Get quotes for liability insurance only.

Estimate your future income. This is important because, like life insurance, you want to protect your future income as much as possible. This calculation often results in a larger amount than all of your personal assets.
