We often get complexed about our car insurance renewal quote for personal use, but if you are in the business of driving cars such as running a driving instructor school, car insurance can be hugely complicated. First you have ot consider the level of mileage you will do and without future clients it can be hard to calculate. In one thought the plan is to be very busy and to do a high mileage another thought is to save costs just in case business does not come in, to save those precious pennies.

Another consideration is whether these cars are leased or are actully owned by the business. In better worlds, who gets the money if their is an accident. Some insurance companies will build this into the calculation. There is also a chance that your business will expand this year, so it is important that any insurance policy will cover that expansion policy, or can be easily adapted should you choose.

If you have an accident in your own car, providing their are no injuries the only expense is the value of the cars, however having an accident and not being insurance as a business has a much tougher consequence as in your income stream has also been hit. So you lose the value of your vehicles, but also lose the ability to earn form them also.

So all insurance is important, but having sufficient cover for your driving instruictor school is even more essentail. So make sure you choose well and know all the ins and outs before purchase.

So the news recently is thatthe car we own is now worth more. Yes even though our cars have just stood on the drive or have been driven around like mad they have increased in value. For the first time ever used values have risen over the last year raising teh question, does that mean our insurance premiums will increase in value, if our car is worth more?

It si possible that car insurance policies taken out last year no longer protect you to replace the car you now drive. The truth is that it would take larger increases of values to make a real difference in premiums. Yes you car has increased in value but there are only some exclusive models such as large Range Rovers, that values have increased to the point they need to revisit their insurance policies.

Insurance companies should also receive more back from their salvage vehciles, the ones they auction of after they have paid out on a policy. hopefully this should balance out any value discrepiencies, not to mention that the value of your car is taken on face value anyway, until payout, so you have probably insured your car for more that the insurance company would have thought it was worth anyway.

Their is often a belief that by stating the highest value for your car, that is how mcuh you will get back as an insurance claim. the answer is that in mosts cases insurance companies only pay out trade values, what you would have got as a part exchange not the private resale value. So will car insurance premiums go up? They may do but not for this reason so I doubt it!!

There are many car breakdown cover organisation around the world and so it is no surprise that many tend to keep similar names. You have Triple A or AAA in United States or the AA in the UK and there is a RAC breakdown cover in Australia too.

But in Spain on e of the organisations is called RACE or Real Automovil Club de Espania to give its full name. With breakdown cover services, route finders and other services it is pretty much like the UK equivalent.
In fact if you look closely you will see connections with the FIA (motor racing) and the Madrid games, so this is no small company.

The name is quiet appropriate too, as in the UK the time it takes to a breakdown is one of the major factors of purchase, so i suppose the car breakdown cover process it is a bit like being in a race.

Drive safely is one of the obvious pieces of advice from the Muffin auto insurance ad. AS she takes her little dog to the part (we think) we are informed of several ways to keep our insurance premiums down, but in some cases our covered is reduced.  There is nothing here that will make you sit up excited and raring to go, but it also true that many do not plan for their next auto insurance renewal and just pay out what is asked. Taking the time to review your needs are especially important and remember, reducing premiums is great, but not if you don’t have sufficient cover should an accident or insurance claim occur. ( I wonder if Muffin is the dog?)

One of the biggest worries about being involved in an accident apart from is everyone OK, is the possibility that the other driver is uninsured.  We all know the lengths we have to go to, to get an insurance pay out anyway, that matches the value of our vehicle and the costs involved without any transport to and from work etc.
Imaging how hard it is, if the driver is not insured and there are no premiums associated with the payout.  This can be even more distressing for non motorists that maybe involved in a RTA with an uninsured driver. This can be a hit and run situation, or even when the person involved does not run, can they afford to pay out the compensation.
One way around this is to get extra cover, to cover you for accidents that occur from those who can’t be bothered to get Auto Insurance, but are happy to drive a lethal vehicle around good honest people. This video is not meant to be just an advert, but it is to describe the effects to a family or similar, from uninsured drivers.

“Auto Insurance” can be defined as insurance for the automobile, which, could be used for private or public transport. With almost a quarter increase in the car population between 1990 and 2008, [study printed in the Transport trends edition 2007 by Department of Transport UK], the causalities have also increased. There were a total of 247,780 casualties of all severities reported in the year 2007. Of this number around 2,946 people were killed and 27,774 people were seriously injured. Hence it becomes essential, that we look for security to our lives and also to one of our most prized possession.

Some of us are aware, whilst, others ponder over the importance of insurance of their vehicle. Hence let us turn our attention to this basic question:

How important is an insurance cover for my vehicle?

The answer is - “very important”. UK laws laid down in the year 1930 and then later defined by Road Traffic Act 1988 (modified on 1991) stipulate that every motorist should have a insurance/ security or a deposit of 500,000 pound sterling with the accountant General of Supreme Court, to make good any loss of life and property that might occur due to use of their vehicle. Further, you would be committing an offense under the section 143(1) (a) RTA 1988 (amended in 1991) if you drive on the public highway without at least third party insurance. Thus making auto insurance a must have rather than should have.

The next very important question is what all is covered in an insurance policy?

Fundamentally, the safety net through insurance, on your automobile has the following covered:
a)    Property coverage : Damage to or theft to your car
b)    Liability Coverage : Damage, your vehicle causes to another vehicle or person,
c)    Medical coverage  : Injuries sustained, loss of work days and rehabilitation

Usually, the law of the land stipulates, that you should have the minimum insurance to cover the liability that arises when you hit another person or his car. However insurance goes beyond this basic need and through a variety of offerings which ensure that the financial loss to your vehicle from fire, accident and theft is zilch.

Thus armed with such financial safety instruments and your safety belt, you can surely drive your loved possession, with a smile and of course a valid driving license!

Filing an insurance claim can be confusing, even under the most ideal circumstances. Understanding the claims process will ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Here’s what you should know before you file a claim:

1. Understand your policy. Before an accident even happens it’s important that you read and understand your policy. Be aware of your policy deductibles–the portion of any claim that you are responsible for paying. If there’s anything in your policy you don’t understand, ask your agent or representative.

2. Know what to do after an accident. Stay calm and remain at the scene after an accident. Make sure the accident has been reported to the police and then exchange insurance information with the other driver. If the accident was the other driver’s fault you will need to notify their insurer. Most insurers have claim hot-lines available. Report the accident as soon as possible; most policies state that claims must be reported within a short time following the accident.

3. Provide correct information. Your claim processing may be delayed if you give any incorrect or incomplete information. The insurer must be provided with any and all information relevant to the claim.

4. Document contacts. Keep a log of all phone calls, e-mails and in-person contacts with everyone who is involved in the claim. Make sure you record the name of the other person, the date and time the conversation occurred as well as a detailed summary of what was discussed.

5. Document all losses. Time lost from work and/or any other expenses which are a direct result of the accident need to be documented and reported to the insurer.

Auto insurance is essential for every vehicle owner as it tends to cut costs greatly which is incurred due to damages to a new vehicle. Most state laws mandate that each vehicle should be sufficiently covered under auto insurance. A person violating the law is eligible to be fined.

The roads of the nation being not so gregarious these days for smooth driving, a new driver is even more susceptible to be part of an accident, more so because of his inability to predict the attitude of other people rather than his own mistake.

The auto insurance coverage premium depends on a number of factors, which include but are not restricted to the state laws, driver’s history, make and model of the vehicle. All the members of the family, which owns the vehicle, having driver’s license must be mentioned in the insurance application. This means that getting insurance would be a tough task even if one member of the house has a bad driving record. Also an insurance company will consider your driver’s history, credit rating and bank balance to decide whether your policy should be renewed or cancelled.

A few people tend to ask, whether anyone who drives the vehicle is also insured. In most cases the answer would be yes, unless of course, the insurance lender denies the claim due to some reason. Most insurance lenders are on a consensus that a 100,000 is the norm for person with bodily injury, 300,000 per accident with bodily injury.
